Seifeddine Dridi commented on FOP-2293:
---------------------------------------
I think I found a workaround, and it seems to be working seamlessly. In
_AbstractLayoutManager.createChildLMs()_ I added a new test:
{code}
...
if (foNode instanceof MultiSwitch) {
foNode = ((MultiSwitch) foNode).getCurrentlyVisibleNode();
}
if (foNode != null) {
getPSLM().getLayoutManagerMaker().makeLayoutManagers(foNode, newLMs);
}
{code}
then in _MultiCaseLayoutManagerMaker_, I simply return the list of LMs of the
children of the multi-case, presumably they are valid children of the parent of
the multi-switch. However, this doesn't solve the case where the best-fit
extension is enabled, since the set of multi-case(s) have to be evaluated by
_BestFitLayoutManager_. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Seifeddine

> I have been working on an extension for whitespace management, similar to
> what's described here:
> http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/WhitespaceManagement
> The logic of the extension is very simple: the user defines a set of
> alternatives that he wishes to insert at the end of a page, then if there is
> enough space left, FOP will pick the alternative that best matches the user's
> selection criteria (first fit, smallest fit, biggest fit).
> This is my first work on FOP and it took me almost 2 months to reach this
> stage in development. But it's not the end of course, so I'm relying on your
> feedback to improve it.
> Thank you
