Thanks, Chris BTW, I want to confirm you (and everyone else) are aware that new files/pages added to the FOP web site (i.e., anything we want linked) must coincide with a similar modification to site.xml (used to be the 'book.xml' located in each sub-dir, but is being deprecated in favor of a global site.xml file). I say this, because judging by the language above and in the previous msg, it appears you are adding a new file (thereby meeting the definition of requiring a change to site.xml). If I continue to be wrong about this, please forgive! :-) Clay - no, i didnt add a new file, I just updated the layout.xml, so it now has a table of todo items. Yes, I realise that the doc generation process is driven from the site.xml. I'm really pleased you are getting into forrest, as I dont want to get to into the internals, I would rather spend time on the code.

Chris Bowditch wrote: Mike Brodbelt wrote: snip/ Yes please :-). One problem at the moment is that the website (which is excellent, on the whole) has no reference to a development timeline, and a new user will notice that the last release was 9 months ago, and wonders what's happening. Admittedly, a bit of additional searching will take them to the mailing list archives, but one has to do a lot of reading to build up a picture of the current state of play. Timelines are a concept that dont fit with the open source development model. In the commercial world, employees can be allocated work and expected to complete it within a time frame. In open source, there are no employees, so work is completed in an adhoc fashion. Yes, I've been around OSS stuff for long enough to know that asking for timelines is usually futile :-). But one can always hope Mike. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But are you aware there's a ToDo page accessible at the bottom of the links on the HOME tab? http://xml.apache.org/fop/todo.html I kept looking in that page for your updates and couldn't find them (which is why I was so concerned you were adding a new file :-)). Anyway, I think this is one of the things Victor was trying to fix... disorganization of content.

Netchart Pro integrate with Batik;
Hi, Has anyone used NetChart Pro (a chart generation product developed by Visual Mining) that integrates with Batik to create SVG? The ultimate goal is to use these SVG with XSL-FOP to create PDF. Here's the background. There's a server version offers by Visual Mining that does this, however, we are only licensing with the Pro version. From what I understand about Batik's API, there is method that would take a java.awt.graphics2D and return SVG. The problem that I'm facing is that I'm unable to obtain the graphics2D of the chart (due to the architect of their APIs) which is created by the NetChart's API. The object is nested in multiple levels of containers. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone in this community has dealt with this or something similar to this. and any work-around.

Its not immediately obvious what line of development the Todo page you reference applies to. Upon reading the detail, it appears to be a mix of maintenance and redesign items!
