RE: JAXP question

 From: Glen Mazza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I tried a little bit more, but was unsuccessful.  XMLFilter +
 setParameter()
 unfortunately isn't currently available with JAXP, and I suspect the
 just-use-a-transformer alternative proposed by Michael Kay here:
 http://www.xslt.com/xsl-list/2002-08/msg00312.html will slow
 things down for
 non-parameter using people.  (I'm also not sure if your suggestion would
 work, as the getContentHandler() is set later, in apps.Driver.)


Well, I wouldn't stare myself too blind on it for the moment... Could well
be that my suggestion won't work --as it was more based on vague ideas than
on actual experiments (maybe should've tried out first, sorry for that)

 I modified the JAXP example to show the setting of a parameter,
 so FOP users
 will be OK for embedded usage, at least.


Getting this right *was* the more important of the two IMHO. When using
XML/XSLT input via the command-line, one can indeed easily break up the
transformation, supply the params to the XSL processor in question, and run
the resulting FO through FOP.

Thanks for the effort!


Cheers,

Andreas

Good catch Simon, thanks for taking time to look at it. The NPE is due to a 
missing implementation of getNumeric() in RelativeNumericProperty (which should 
contain return this;).

I would guess that your example are using margins in a page context, so I have 
made it return 20% of the page width. But margin-[top,bottom] also used page-
width but they should be using page-height as their base and that isn't handled 
correctly yet.

I'll attach a new patch which fixes the bugs you found and also merges the 
different getters in FObj into a single getLayoutDimension().

 I am not a XSL-FO expert but is this valid, eg.
 fo:simple-page-master master-name=simpleA4 margin=4pt+20%
 For margin-... properties percentages in expressions apply to the margins of 
 the enclosing block. Does a simple-page-master have an enclosing block with 
 valid margins? If not the above expression cannot be resolved.
 
 Of course, even if that is the case FOP shouldn't throw a NPE.

I think we agree on the intended behaviour. The point here is the
implementation, which had a small glitch.

The enclosing block is the page. It is not really the enclosing block
of the simple-page-master, nor of the region-body, but of the areas
they generate. Resolution is done w.r.t. the area tree.

Regards, Simon

Finn,

I see you also solved another problem, viz. that fo:layout-master-set
did not return a proper IPD. However, I am not happy with your
solution. During the layout process, you feed the page dimensions back
into the FO tree, in PageLayoutManager.createPageAreas. I think it
would be a better design if, in order to resolve the percent-based
properties, you would not climb the FO tree but the Area tree. That
avoids feeding back results from the Area tree into the FO tree.

The XSL spec says (XSL-PR/slice3.html#section-N1208-Conceptual-Procedure):

'The formatting object supplies parameters to its children based on the
traits of areas already in the area tree, possibly including areas
generated by the formatting object or its ancestors.'

Holding those parameters in the FO tree is one solution. Extracting
them from the area tree layed out up to that point is another
solution, which has the advantage that it does not load the FO tree
with information that it does not need to have.

Finn,

Correct. There are, I'm certain, many more cases where the layout 
managers does not yet set all the dimensions needed to resolve all the 
different percentages.

However, I am not happy with your
solution. During the layout process, you feed the page dimensions back
into the FO tree, in PageLayoutManager.createPageAreas. 
Yes, and in BlockLayoutManager and in all the other LM that defines base 
length for percentages.

I think it
would be a better design if, in order to resolve the percent-based
properties, you would not climb the FO tree but the Area tree. That
avoids feeding back results from the Area tree into the FO tree.
The XSL spec says (XSL-PR/slice3.html#section-N1208-Conceptual-Procedure):

'The formatting object supplies parameters to its children based on the
traits of areas already in the area tree, possibly including areas
generated by the formatting object or its ancestors.'
Holding those parameters in the FO tree is one solution. Extracting
them from the area tree layed out up to that point is another
solution, 
But there is *no* areas layed out or even created at the point where we 
need resolved length. When getNextBreakPoss is called, we only have a 
series of BreakPoss's stored in different layout managers.

The Area objects are created much later when we have BreakPoss's for an 
entire page. PageLM then calls addAreas which recursively creates all 
the areas for the page.

which has the advantage that it does not load the FO tree
with information that it does not need to have.
I initially had a separate PropertyContext object where the length was 
stored. The FO element then had a reference to the PropertyContext and 
there was a PropertyContext for every FO. But since there was a 
one-to-one correspondence between the FO's and the PropertyContexts I 
decided to put the information directly in the FO's instead.

Somehow, in our current design, the information must be stored in an 
object that exists:

- when the properties are parsed.
- when the break possibilities are created.
The FO nodes fulfills both requirements.

Perhaps the dimensions should be stored in the layout manager tree but 
the LM tree is not available when the the properties are parsed and 
there is no way to get from a FO to the LM's that the FO creates.

regards,
finn

XML Graphics PMC discussion - Wiki page created

2004-02-15 Thread Jeremias Maerki
As promised I've started a Wiki page with all the things I collected
about the XML Graphics PMC (Batik and FOP moving closer together). This
is to move on the discussion that started earlier. Once the board is
satisfied with the federation proposal and this XML Graphics idea
doesn't face opposition I'd like to create a concrete proposal that will
be voted on by the Batik and FOP projects (and probably the XML PMC) and
the approved by the board.

I'd like again to invite everybody to participate in the discussion.
Unless you haven't done so already please subscribe to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as this is the right place to discuss this (it's
not so high-volume after all). I'd like the XML PMC to be able to follow
the discussion, too. Thanks.

If anybody considers this a bad idea, please speak up. There might be
issues because this proposal essentially only replicates the XML project
down to a smaller scale but I think this can still satisfy the board's
wishes. I'm curious to your comments.
