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 journal tag sets make a distinction between different types
of graphical objects (some by means of attributes, others with distinct elements).
In this Tag Set, all these figure types will be tagged using 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>
