Re: watermark

[Louis . Masters]

Daniel:

I do something like this with SVG to show the status of the document (draft, final, etc.).  However, transparency is not implemented yet (at least not in 0.20.3) so I have to keep the SVG very unobtrusive and colorless.

Not sure if this helps much, but here is some XSL code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template name="showWatermark">
<xsl:param name="watermarkText"></xsl:param>
        <fo:block text-align="center">
                <fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
                        <svg:svg width="285" height="70">
                                <svg:g transform="rotate(-5)">
                                        <svg:text x="10" y="60" style="font-family:Courier;font-size:40;font-weight:normal;stroke-width:0.5;fill:none;stroke:lightgray;stroke-opacity:0.75;">
                                                <xsl:value-of select="$watermarkText"/>
                                        </svg:text>
                                </svg:g>
                        </svg:svg>
                </fo:instream-foreign-object>
        </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="showSmallWatermark">
<xsl:param name="watermarkText"></xsl:param>
        <fo:block text-align="center">
                <fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
                        <svg:svg width="285" height="70">
                                <svg:g transform="rotate(-3)">
                                        <svg:text x="30" y="10" style="font-family:Courier;font-size:30;font-weight:normal;stroke-width:0.5;fill:none;stroke:lightgray;">
                                                <xsl:value-of select="$watermarkText"/>
                                        </svg:text>
                                </svg:g>
                        </svg:svg>
                </fo:instream-foreign-object>
        </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Then, to call it I do something like:

<fo:block-container position="absolute" top="10mm" left="1mm" height="70mm" width="230mm">
        <xsl:call-template name="showWatermark">
                <xsl:with-param name="watermarkText"><xsl:apply-templates select="statusText"/></xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
</fo:block-container>
