There are three additional attributes available for
TransactionGraphics; PreserveSpace, Height, and Width. All
three are considered optional. PreserveSpace is a Yes/No feature that will
determine if the physical space will be kept if the field in the transaction is
blank. We recommend that authors only use the Height attribute. The value for
both Height and Width attributes are a numeric value followed by a unit of
measure ex: .5in would reduce the image to only consume space of one-half
inch high; and if PreserveSpace is set to yes, there will always be a half inch
of space – either the image or blank space.
The REQ is updated for inserting a transaction graphic and the image will appear in the assembled document.
