Jason,
I have done this for tables that need either landscape or portrait
orientation based on the width of the table.
I setup two simple-page-masters:
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master
master-name="landscape" margin="1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm" page-height="8.5in"
page-width="11in">
<fo:region-body/>
<fo:region-after extent=".5cm"
region-name="footer"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master
master-name="portrait" margin="1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm" page-height="11in"
page-width="8.5in">
<fo:region-body/>
<fo:region-after extent=".5cm"
region-name="footer"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
Then I make my decision like this:
<fo:page-sequence>
<xsl:attribute
name="master-reference" select="if ($max-pocket gt 6) then 'landscape' else
'portrait' "/>
Perhaps you can adapt this to your use?

Subject: Changing Orientation on Page Break
Hello all,
I am working on an application that dynamically generates XSL:FO xml,
from XHTML forms to produce PDF output. On certain large tables
within a document I would like to change the page orientation from
portrait to landscape, and then revert back to portrait after the
table for subsequent pages. So ideally I would like to change the
page orientation after a page break. Is this possible, and if so can
someone be so kind as to provide an example?
I use the following to force a page break:
<fo:block break-before="page"/>
I have tried setting the reference-orientation attribute to 90 on the
block-container surrounding the table like so:
<fo:block-container reference-orientation="0">
<fo:table>
...
</fo:table>
</fo:block-container>
but this results the table text being rotated, except it is squashed
into a narrow block so all of the text overlaps and no table borders
are drawn.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
