Using Calibre svg cover wrapper for full-page images

roger64 · 02-04-2015, 08:46 PM

Hi

The Calibre-cover svg wrapper is handy to use. I plan to use it too for other full-page images. I imagine all I would have to do would be:
1. - create an empty xhtml file where to insert the image
2. - paste the standard Calibre code within
3. - adapt it to the concerned image (src, dimensions, ViewBox...)

For the second part, I do not know how I should adapt this small part:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
        <meta name="calibre:cover" content="true"/>
        <title>Cover</title>

I could probably keep the first line. What would be advisable to write for the second and third lines? Are they useful for my purpose?

The second line is obviously not applicable

and the first line is just fluff.

The third line is random filler -- EPUBs don't care what goes in the title tags.

And none of it really matters AFAIK.

@eschwartz

I think I can cope with that

Or, we can use this snippet...

Code:

  <div>
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 $1 $2" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet">
      <image width="$1" height="$2" xlink:href="${3:filename}"/>
    </svg>
  </div>$4

Up to now, I have a longer text because I wish get a full page display and use a separate page. So this is what I use today.

But of course, a python script would be most welcome...

I wonder how we could use the export function of Reports/images for this purpose.

Spoiler:

Well yes...
But I do not mean a python script, but the snippets of Calibre's editor, that can be used in an existing or a new html, as you would like.

Thanks for the snippet.

The csv export format from "Reports" has the values $1, $2 and $3 for all the image files. so I thought something could probably be done to automatize it. Just letting the idea float...

Sorry.
I thought this thread was to facilitate insertion of a svg wrapper with Calibre editor.

You're absolutely right... but when you see how easily you can do it for one picture, then, there is probably nothing wrong thinking about doing it for several "full-page images"....
