Hi, I would like to use the flowing text abilities of SVG1.2 with FOP but i can't get FOP to "switch" to SVG1.2 mode and i get this error:
GRAVE: Exception org.w3c.dom.DOMException: The current document is unable to create an element of the requested type (namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, name: flowRoot). at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.transformTo(InputHandler.java:217) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.renderTo(InputHandler.java:125) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.startFOP(Main.java:166) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.main(Main.java:197) --------- org.w3c.dom.DOMException: The current document is unable to create an element of the requested type (namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, name: flowRoot). at org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractNode.createDOMException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGDOMImplementation.createElementNS(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGOMDocument.createElementNS(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xml.utils.DOMBuilder.startElement(DOMBuilder.java:324) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.startElement(TransformerIdentityImpl.java:1072) at org.apache.fop.util.DelegatingContentHandler.startElement(DelegatingContentHandler.java:182) at org.apache.fop.util.DOMBuilderContentHandlerFactory$Handler.startElement(DOMBuilderContentHandlerFactory.java:124) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.startElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:163) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.startElement(TransformerIdentityImpl.java:1072) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.xinclude.XIncludeHandler.startElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.transform(TransformerIdentityImpl.java:484) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.transformTo(InputHandler.java:214) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.renderTo(InputHandler.java:125) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.startFOP(Main.java:166) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.main(Main.java:197) I found a thread in the archives which is exactly what i'm trying to do: http://fop-users.markmail.org/search/?q=flowroot#query:flowroot+page:1+mid:h2oak7zhcds6tvje+state:results Unfortunately, the answer given by Jeremias (writing version="1.2" in the svg root tag) didn't help. Here is the .fo file (the svg part comes from the W3C): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin-bottom="10mm" margin-top="10mm" margin-right="10mm" margin-left="10mm" page-width="210mm" page-height="297mm" master-name="A4-portrait"> <fo:region-body margin-bottom="10mm" margin-top="10mm" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence font-size="10pt" font-family="times" master-reference="A4-portrait"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block> <fo:instream-foreign-object> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; version="1.2" width="100mm" height="150mm"> <flowRoot font-size="16"> <flowRegion> <path d="M100,50L50,300L250,300L300,50z"/> </flowRegion> <flowPara>Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow; creeps in this petty pace from day to day, until the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. </flowPara> </flowRoot> </svg> </fo:instream-foreign-object> </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> However, when i use fo:external-graphic to include the same svg, it "works", or maybe should i say it doesn't crash... The PDF rendering is working, but the result is just a black parallelogram instead of the text (exactly the same result as in Firefox 3 for instance). There is only InkScape which renders the svg correctly. What am I missing here ? Thanks for your help ;)
