just trying to be comprehensive about a short writeup i'm doing on graphics support under FOP, and comparing that to the online docs at the FOP site.
first, the docs on the graphics packages refers to the "FOP install directory". however, all i've ever done is to extract the fop.jar file, and copy it to a common jarfile/ directory and make sure that fop.jar file is on my CLASSPATH. so far, that seems to have worked fine. the reason i mention that is that the online docs first suggest that you install JIMI by copying "JimiProClasses.zip" to the FOP install directory. but that's not necessary -- again, all i've ever done is to copy that file to the common jarfiles/ directory and put it on the CLASSPATH. it's probably worth adding that as an alternative. and, finally, it's even trickier with JAI since, when you download JAI, it comes in the form (at least the one i got) of a self-extracting shell script, which *insists* on being unloaded in the official java directory, which forces you to do a little extra work to install it elsewhere. have i misunderstood any of this? rday --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
