RE: [ttml2] Does tts:backgroundImage affect size of content area?

Perhaps I am missing something subtle.  I thought you were trying to prescribe decoder behavior when the target content element size does not match the referenced image size.  This condition is an authoring error in SMPTE-TT, so the behavior is undefined (although arguably the decoder could reject the package).

 

If TTML2 wishes to allow this situation and thus define decoder behavior for it, OK.  Then I guess I don’t have a position.  Alternatively TTML2 could also declare that condition to be an error and therefore not address it in the first place, which is what I was trying to suggest.

I'm afraid I'm still not following you. My comment is not related to validity, but the semantics of background image impact on sizing the content element that refers to it.

 

SMPTE-TT says that the minimum size of the area generated by the content element is expanded to fit the size of the background image. This is not the behavior in CSS or XSL-FO, so it presents an issue for how to deal with background image in TTML2 and how to translate SMPTE-TT or IMSC1 to TTML2.

 

My current thinking is that tts:backgroundImage in TTML2 will not have the behavior of SMPTE-TT or IMSC1, i.e., it will follow the XSL-FO and CSS behavior. So if background image is used in TTML2, the author will need to ensure the size of the generated area is sufficiently large, e.g., by including sufficient content or by using tts:ipd or tts:bpd.

 

For the purpose of translating SMPTE-TT or IMSC1 to TTML2, a couple options exist:

* translate to <image> element rather than tts:backgroundCheck
* or use tts:backgroundCheck but also specify tts:{ipd,bpd}

I don't see any issue here with respect to validity.

The IMSC1 instance document alone can be valid IMSC1.  But in the context of it with the collection of (e.g. PNG) image file properties, the “package” is not valid.  Just because we don’t have a formalization of the “package” doesn’t mean that a decoder should adopt some compensation behavior when faced with such a “package”.

Could you please explain? What is invalid?

Subject: [ttml2] Does tts:backgroundImage affect size of content area?

skynavga has just created a new issue for
https://github.com/w3c/ttml2:

== Does tts:backgroundImage affect size of content area? == According to SMTPE ST2052-1:2013 §5.5.6:

> The min-height and min-width of the area associated with the image
shall be set to the intrinsic height and width of the image source.

and

> The presented image shall not be scaled and the XSL background-color
 trait shall be visible for any background areas of the ``<div>``
outside the image, therefore, authors should ensure that the div will
be sized to match the given pre-rendering.

The effects of these two requirements are that if an image is larger
than the nominal minimum content size of the generated area, then that
 minimal content size is to be increased to encompass the intrinsic
image size as required. While if the nominal minimum content size is
already larger than the intrinsic image size, the background color of
the generated area (if not transparent) will be visible outsize the
image, i.e., the image is not scaled in either dimension to fill the
nominal minimum content size in such a case.

IMSC1, which makes use of the ``smpte:backgroundImage`` extension,
does not specify any details about sizing, other than to say that the
intrinsic image size must correspond to the size of the region into
which its associated generated area(s) are flowed. As such, one may
presume that IMSC1 intends the above language from ST2052 to apply
(Pierre?).

The problem here is that this behavior is at variance with both XSL-FO
 and CSS, where the minimum content size of generated areas associated
 with a background image **is not** increased to the intrinsic image
size. In other words, in XSL-FO or CSS, if there is no content in the
element, then no area is generated, or if one is generated, it has
zero for one or both content area dimensions. On the other hand, if
there is content in the element, but its nominal formatted size is
smaller than the intrinsic size of the background image, then some of
the image will be clipped. I am attaching a test file that
demonstrates the CSS behavior below.

Now, the problem here in TTML2 is how to handle this discrepancy
w.r.t. XSL-FO and CSS introduced by SMPTE-TT and apparently adopted by
 IMSC1. One way to handle it would be to require that ``tts:ipd`` and
``tts:bpd`` be used with TTML2 if one wants such behavior with a
background image (in a like manner to how one is forced to specify
width and height properties in XSL-FO or CSS). Or we could add a
``tts:{ipdMinimum,bpdMinimum}`` pair in TTML2 to specify instead. Or
we could generalize the values of ``tts:{ipd,bpd}`` to allow
specifying a (minimum, optimum, maximum) tuple. Or we could allow the
minimum values of these properties to be specified with a keyword, say
 ``backgroundImageSize``.

In any case, we have an issue here, so I have added an editorial note
to the section on
(tts:backgroundImage)[https://rawgit.com/w3c/ttml2/master/spec/ttml2.html#style-attribute-backgroundImage]
 in the TTML2 ED.

Following is the CSS example file:
