Indeed, ColorUtil.parseColorString() is used in various places in various contexts. For this to work as needed, every such call has to have some context information about the ICC profiles available. For example, the AreaTreeParser should equally be able to build up the color instances again from the serialized area tree. There, no FO tree is available. With the switch to use java.awt.Color you have to specify the color space when instantiating the color. > I see two approaches.

I don't think this will go without changing some method signatures. Given that not in every context (see AreaTreeParser example above) you have the FO tree available. So it may make sense to define a ColorContext interface which allows access to the available color profiles for the document. There would be an implementation for the FO tree context and one for the AreaTreeParser context, maybe some additional implementation if necessary. But I can see that there will need to be some extensive changes. I currently don't see a way around that. But maybe someone else does. > Any thoughts? > > Thanks! > > Peter > > PS Apologies for the 101 nature of my questions - not sure they are actually > suited for this list. No, that's absolutely ok. I prefer having close contact with contributors because it minimizes the risk of late surprises for both sides. Jeremias Maerki
