Getting the string from the label changed from a string which is return to a Stringbuffer that calls toString. It is possible for the string buffer to be null if there is no text.

The correct behaviour should put the image there as normal and then handle the overflow. content-width and content-height do not have any effect at all I hope that this behaviour isn't just coincidence.

As outlined on this page this is the approach that we are heading for: http://xml.apache.org/fop/design/optimise.html This should make any size document possible. 2) Are there plans to port FOP to C/C++ sometime? I guess that at least part of the memory consumption is to be blamed on Java and IIRC the underlying Xerces and Xalan are already available as C++ versions, so why not FOP? The issue of implementing FOP is not about the language. Since using java means we already have a large number of services available and reduced debugging effort then this is a logical choice (this doesn't prevent other choices). The issue is dealing with the large number of elements, properties and layout issues. Once the real problem is solved then it will be a more relevant question.

It sounds like it is a threading problem. Do you get any messages like: Failed to read font metrics file ... It would appear that two threads could be reading the font metrics file at the same time.

Re: Transformation matrix wrong in PDF for some SVG files

This works with the cvs trunk also but be aware that there are some differences. I suspect the problem is due to the numbers being used in the svg file.

Look at the beginning of page 15 in the pdf file: 'tensible' for 'extensible' [Efo:inlinex/fo:inlinetensible]; notice that even though the first 'e' is not surrounded by any tag, it is not rendered either. One more thing: if I process a 'simple.xml' file with occurrences like [Erx/rtensible], the same happens, even if I dont write any template for the 'r' element. Thank you all for your answers. N.

Re: SVG rendering in release 0.20.3
The examples in the docs/examples/svg/ directory work fine, so how is yours different? Do these examples work for you? I suspect the svg referenced in the image is invalid.

Re: fo:basic-link on svg image
The second example is not valid. You cannot simply place some piece of svg inside fo. SVG can only be used in an instream-foreign-object and the xml inside that fo object must be valid for svg. As SVG cannot link internally in the fo document then you cannot do it with svg.

Re: svg from string
I suggest you read this page: http://xml.apache.org/batik/rasterizerTutorial.html To convert svg to pdf you are simply using the PDF transcoder.

Re: FW: Batik, FOP, and PDF
3) Why is crimson-parser missing from the fop binary distribution? They ship batik.jar and fop.jar...but the rasterizer won't run unlesscrimson-parser.jar is in the class path. I have to get this from thebatik binary distribution. I missed this question. The reason is that batik doesn't need the *crimson* parser the parser that comes with FOP works fine.
Re: multi-page PDF creation using the PDFDocumentGraphics2D class
This is not supported. The PDFDocumentGraphics2D is simply meant to render a single svg to a single page. You could probably get what you want by extending the class and adding some extra methods to create a new page and so on.

Re: Rendered SVG does not contain images from xsl:fo external-graphic/
Hi, The image part is not implemented as far as I can remember. As for the text, is it in the document, is it viewable using the batik viewer for example. It probably ignores your embedded ttf but will use the fonts available to the jvm.

I tried rendering to SVG and feeding to Batik's JPEG transcoder, but it seems that the rendered SVG does not contain images specified with external-graphic/ in xsl:fo. Is this a bug or a not yet implemented feature? In addition, Batik transcoder does not even display text when JPG is constructed. I am using embedded ttf for displaying text. The ttf is present in my system, of course. Can this be the problem? Everything is ok when I render to PDF. Andrius

Re: merging two libraries
Hi, From the archives it appears that the discussion on the fop-dev list was about 2 years ago (no apparent refusal though). It is certainly time to revisit. From the small amount of information I know about iText it would appear to be a more advanced pdf library. I don't know what the license issues might be. What sort of joining forces are you proposing? Please send to the fop-dev list for further discussion. Regards, Keiron.

Re: Problem converting SVG to PDF
Hi Elena, Most likely you have incompatible versions of batik and fop. There have been a number of api changes between fop 0.20.1 and the current batik. It should work fine if you use the batik that comes with fop. I suggest you try using the latest fop, FOP 0.20.3rc2 and the batik that comes with it, version 1.1 (I think). This should work fine.

Re: FOP SVG precision; how to keep thin lines precision???
Hi Irina, I'm no barcode expert but one I tried looked fine to me. Have you zoomed in on the barcode in the pdf document. If you view it normally the viewer may approximate the lines and therefore distort it. If there is still a problem maybe you could send a small fo and pdf to demonstrate the problem. An alternative may be to make the whole barcode larger, multiply by a factor of ten say. Then place the barcode in an svg transform. This way the values in pdf are less likely to be round off and the image will be scaled. On 2002.02.06 16:50 Irina Grigorieva wrote: Hi, I faced a problem. I need to generate barcodes (it is not a problem) and draw it into PDF. That is, to draw several rectangles...

However, the value 1 is displayed correctly. As far as I could understand, the problem is FOP precision is 72 dots per inch, that's why any fractional values like 0.5..1.5 produces huge distortions. Am I right? Is it a feature of SVG, a feature of FOP? Can I use something different than Batik for SVG? Would generating images solve the problem of precision (if then place these images into PDF with FOP)? Please help. BR, Irina.

Re: FOP, SVG and external-graphic Question
Fred, The xml markup between the svg:svg and /svg:svg must be valid svg markup. The example you have is not valid. eg. the markup should be able to work standalone as an svg document. If you want to put a graphic inside svg then you need to use the svg:image tag. I am having trouble combining external-graphics and SVG graphics in FOP. I would like to use SVG to open a viewport containing both svg graphics and external-graphics [gifs, jpgs, pngs] . If I format the raster images in a typical manner, as fo:external-graphics, fop generates PDFs with rasters fine. If I format svg images in a typical manner fo:instream-foreign-object, fop generates PDF w/ svg fine. But if I try to combine them, FOP will not render the raster images. I am trying to use svg to create a line pointing from one raster image to another. I would like place several raster images and several SVG elements into one viewport so that I can position them reliably. Neither the svg examples nor the images examples shows how to combine svg and external-graphics. Can anybody help me with this? Here is the code of what I would LIKE to do: fo:block space-before.optimum=10pt space-after.optimum=30pt keep-with-previous=1 !-- the next line, creating raster image, works OK, but its position vis-a-vis the svg does not work in my situation -- fo:external-graphic height=75px width=40px x=240 y=240 src=images/4.jpg/ fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; svg:svg width=1000 height=760 !-- the next lines, creating raster images, do not work -- fo:external-graphic src=images\4.jpg x=240 y=240 width=42px height=98px/ fo:external-graphic src=images\Image1.gif x=320 y=240 width=461px height=377px/ !-- the next lines, creating svg image, works fine -- svg:g style=fill:none; stroke:#ff; stroke-width:3px svg:line x1=280 y1=270 x2=400 y2=276/ /svg:g /svg:svg /fo:instream-foreign-object /fo:block
