Hi, I found an error when fop proceses EPS images with negative numbers in BoundingBox.
It only checks for ASCII codes between 48 and 57 and therefor quits immediately when the first char is '-'. I changed the line (marked in the code snippet below) from: while (nidx < epsFile.length && (epsFile[nidx] >= 48 && epsFile[nidx] <= 57)) to: while (nidx < epsFile.length && ((epsFile[nidx] >= 48 && epsFile[nidx] <= 57)||epsFile[nidx] == 45)) This solves the problem I encountered. Since I have not performed updates before I figured it would be quicker if anyone with experience made the change for me. Would tyake the oppurtunity to thank you for a good product and good support. :-) Package: org.apache.fop.image.analyser File: EPSReader.java ... private int readLongString(long[] mbbox, int i, int idx) { while (idx < epsFile.length && (epsFile[idx] == 32)) idx++; int nidx = idx; -----> while (nidx < epsFile.length && ((epsFile[nidx] >= 48 && epsFile[nidx] <= 57)||epsFile[nidx] == 45)) nidx++; System.out.println( "Idx: " + idx + " Nidx: " + nidx); byte[] num = new byte[nidx - idx]; System.arraycopy(epsFile, idx, num, 0, nidx-idx); String ns = new String(num); System.out.println( "Stringnumber: " + ns); mbbox[i] = Long.parseLong(ns); return (1+nidx - idx); } ... cheers ------------------------------------------------------- Claes Bergsten Software Development Engineer TJ Group as --------------Contact---------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] +47 91668984 www.tjgroup.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
