FW: [xep-support] Problem with rounded edge box

[Vladimir Rodimyuk]

First time I posted this message it was bounced because of too large size of it. So I have to delete attachments and modify original letter to add FO code.

Hi Mark,

Of course it can be done. I believe that you would get the answer much faster if you had attached your tiff images. You have to face it - people usually do not want to do some extra job.

Anyway, I think the reason for this issue is that you are using uniform scaling while your images are not exactly 3mm wide. Take a look at FO and PDF files in attach. I made some changes to your FO code, but the crucial thing is the 'scaling' attribute. After I've changed its value to 'non-uniform' it works.
<fo:table  width="30mm" table-layout="fixed"
   space-after.optimum="10pt"
   background-color="rgb-icc (204, 0, 0, #CMYK, 0, 1, 0.81, 0.04)">
     <fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="3mm"/>
     <fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="24mm"/>
     <fo:table-column column-number="3" column-width="3mm"/>
     <fo:table-body>
        <fo:table-row height="5.07mm">
           <fo:table-cell display-align="before">
             <fo:block line-height="0mm">
                <fo:external-graphic height="3mm" width="3mm"
                   content-height="3mm" content-width="3mm"
                   src="url('images/crop_circle_rt.tif')"
                   scaling="non-uniform" />
  <!--             ^~~~~Here is the major difference -->
             </fo:block>
 ...
Although, I think there are a lot of methods to do rounded corner in a different way. E.g. you can try to use embedded SVG graphics and table 3x3 (to reduce issues with background and extra spaces).

Respectfully,
Volodymyr Rodymyuk
