Hi mithunk,
Two things I can think of given your description:
The measurements are in milipoints. Divide by 1000 when finished to get points.
Only add relevant blocks. Given a structure like
<block A>
<block B />
<block C />
</block A>
<block D>
<block E />
<block F />
</block D>
to get the position of block F you add the height of blocks E and A. Basically:
previous siblings of targetnode and all of its parent nodes are interesting.
Regards,
Georg Datterl

Betreff: Re: AW: AW: Identifying absolute position of a FO:Block
Hi,
I tried creating AreaTree for my XSL-FO. And as you suggested added bpda of
all the block elements in the area tree (untill my block is hit). But the y
position that I get after adding all these is wrong. I want to calculate the
absolute position of this block (x and y coordinates). Please help, as I
need to finish this POC in another day.
Please also mention if it not possible in FOP.
Thanks,
Mithun
