When I was debugging similar issues I used a combination of borders and background colors. I don't remember the borders adding space, but I also wasn't worried about what was below the elements that I added borders to. The background colors is an easy way to debug layout issues as well. I've used this in FOP as well as GUIs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
