Glenn Adams commented on FOP-2293:
----------------------------------

That is going to change, since modifying the FO tree is not recommended after
all (see Glenn's comment). I'm still searching for other solutions to
incorporate the best-fit extension. Maybe I'll integrate the code of
BestFitLayoutManager directly inside MultiSwitchLayoutManager.

I would rather see the BFL logic in a separate helper class, and referenced by
MSLM.

> 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
