Re: formatting tables

2006-09-08 Thread paul
I haven't had much time to investigate further, but I noticed that setting the
background-color attribute of a row like this

fo:table-row background-color=blue

does work, (table-layout=fixed). 


Coloring entire columns doesn't seem to work the same way.

fo:table-column column-number=1 column-width=20% background-color=blue/

XSL Formatter

I'm just evaluating this tool, comparing it to FOP. Has anyone anything to 
contribute to this. Anything I should watch out for (apart from the cost)?

thanks

outputting TIFF-G images

2006-09-08 Thread Oliver Hernàndez Valls

Hi all,
	I'm working with fop to generate MTIFF text images. At the moment i'm 
using fop-trunk because no justification functionality is working in fop 
0.92 for tiffs.
	Right now I've all the functionality to generate parametrized text 
images implemented. By default fop uses packbits compression and colored 
image coding.
	I'd like to change the tiff coding to TIFF-G because generated images 
with the default tiff coding are very big (around 9000 kB) and 
coloration is not needed for the images I'm generating.
	I'm using the new FOUserAgent parameter setTargetResolution(int), but 
I can't see any way to change the default encoding for tiff images.
	Some time ago I readed this somewhere in the source code: //TODO 
Support output of monochrome bitmaps (fax-style), but don't know if it 
has something to do with changing tiff coding.


Any hint/workarround/documentation please?

Thanks a lot, salut / cheers !

No element mapping found

2006-09-08 Thread flyingscot

Hi!

I have a strange problem: My java software uses embedded FOP. Sometimes the
rendering process comes to an exception: 
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: Error (0/0): No element mapping definition
found for fo:root

The strange thing is: this problem only occure under Windows XP, under Linux
everything is perfect.
Moreover this problem exists not all the time: e.g. last two weeks everthing
was ok under Windows, but today the error occures all the time.

The exception sometimes differes a bit: the element is e.g.
fo:layout-master-set or fo:flow and so on, and sometime Java completely
freezes...

I have no idea anymore...

CU Immo!

It's been more than 4 month since 0.92beta was released. Isn't it is time to

Yes the release is due, but there are a couple of jobs still 
outstanding. I can't say for sure when they will be finished and the 
release done.


It has been agreed that the next release will be 0.93. The beta tag has 
been dropped as the code is now considered to be stable enough for 
production use.

 When using turkish characters, do i also have to use 
 hyphenation?

Hyphenation does not depend on font file or chararacter set.
It only depends on document language.

Using hyphenation needs to:
- define used language: see language property in fo:page-sequence
- enable/disable hyphenation as you want:
  see hyphenate property, that applies only on fo:block or fo:character
- make sure you have appropriate hyphenation file;
  AFAIK, greek is only available in a TEX format (see [1])
  You'll propably need to transform it in a FOP comprehensive format.

 Do i have to include other types of fonts or 
 embed them into the pdf file?

You should include|embed all used fonts, depending on your font-family 
properties

 Have
 you configured a font with FOP that contains all

 you need? Please see the FOP website for details to

 depending on the FOP version you use.

Wrapping long character strings

2006-09-08 Thread Wyatt Tellis
I'm building a medical report printing application and I'm having 
trouble forcing long characters strings (not really words) to wrap. FOP 
gives the error: Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area. 
(fo:block...  For example I may have a series of 80 '*' characters. I 
would like to have that string wrap to 2 lines instead of  continuing 
over the edge of the page.  Per the wiki 
(http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/Troubleshooting/CommonLogMessages), 
I've tried using the wrap-option and overflow attributes to get the 
strings to wrap with no luck. Hyphenation doesn't work either. I'm using 
0.92.beta. Is there a way to get this to work in FOP?


TIA,

Wyatt
