Angus,
The current behaviour of the --baseline switch is to report like so:
[1(baseline=2)]
meaning that the baseline pixel row is 2 pixels from the top row.
_
*__* | 2
*__* v
_***
___*
*__*
_**_
This is somewhat non-intuitive.
I am looking at HTML vertical alignment (via CSS1) and I've noted that
what is needed there is the depth instead:
*__*
*__*
_*** _
___* |
*__* | 3
_**_ v
Since you haven't done anything to LyX yet (right?) could I exchange
the --baseline switch for a --depth switch? I could have both, I
suppose, but --baseline is mayhap non-intuitive...
(You _can_ get a --height switch too, such that depth+height would be
the total image height)
I was thinking of reporting a fraction, but CSS1 vertical alignment by
percentage is erratic (browser-dependent most likely). So better keep
to pixels.
