Alphabetic list of elements (v1.0)

Element layout_images allows the representation of images encoded in a graphic format on a score.

Attributes

• file_name, the complete path to identify the digital object. The path can be either absolute (e.g. "C:\Documents\images\image1.jpg") or relative (e.g. "images\image1.jpg"), and either local (e.g. "C:\Documents\images\image1.jpg") or remote (e.g. "http://www.unimi.it/image1.jpg"). Attribute file_name should respect the syntax rules supported by different operating systems (including case sensitivity).
• file_format, extracted from a complete list of supported formats presented in the IEEE 1599 DTD. IEEE 1599 formats are similar to the corresponding MIME media type, but media type name (e.g. "image") and subtype name (e.g. "jpeg") are separated by an _ (underscore character). As a consequence, a MIME type such as "image/jpeg" is expressed in IEEE 1599 as "image_jpeg".
• encoding_format (see file_format for allowed values). There is usually no difference between file format and encoding format, but some formats (such as TIFF for graphics and WAV for audio) are containers of a number of other formats. In this case, file_format reflects the "external" encoding, whereas encoding_format specifies the actual encoding within the container.
• horizontal_offset, a mandatory attribute to define the horizontal offset of the upper left corner of the image. Value 0 is given to the leftmost points of the page margins. The measurement unit is the one defined in the attribute measurement_unit of layout element.
• vertical_offset, a mandatory attribute to define the vertical offset of the upper left corner of the image. Value 0 is given to the topmost points of the page margins. The measurement unit is the one defined in the attribute measurement_unit of layout element.
• description, an optional attribute used to provide a textual description of the image.
• copyright, an optional attribute used to provide copyright information about the image.
• notes, an optional attribute used to provide notes about the image.
