fig-type Type of Figure
Type or format of the figure (for example, “cartoon”,
“chart”, “diagram”,
“map”, “plate”,
“workflow”).
Usage/Remarks
This attribute was created to preserve existing semantic content when converting from
a publisher’s tag set. Many tag sets make a distinction between different types of
graphical objects (some by means of attributes, others with distinct elements named
for
type of figures such as diagram, line drawing, map, scheme, photograph, or flow-chart).
In this
Tag Set, all these figure types will be tagged using a single element, the <fig> element. The distinctions between different types of figures can be
preserved using the @fig-type attribute, for
example, by recording the content type of the figure, such as
“map”.
OPTIONAL on element: <fig>
