The CI system that builds FOP [1] (whenever a build is triggered) runs the
FOP test suite, reporting an regression that occurs. Actually, any test
failure results in a build failure. At present, there are 2,841 tests
enabled.

 I second Mark.. I am specifically interested in memory leak fix
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2525,  but our guidelines doesn't
allow me to patch the fix myself..

Also is there a formal test bucket that anyone can run against a specific
2.2.0 snapshot to see how stable the snapshot is ?

Hi,

FOP active team is quite little, so having a release plan will not
help. As FOP is open source, volunteers are welcome to help.

[Mark Gibson]

For some of us, it’s not appropriate to take the development branch.  However, 
we are really keen to get the next release version of FOP so we can use the fix 
for the PDF image plug-in.

I appreciate the nature of these mainly volunteer led apache projects.  
However, I would like to encourage you to prioritise slightly more regular 
releases …. Delivering little and often.

Thanks
Mark

We do not have a schedule yet for a 2.2 release.

Re: Place image at top of page

[Szeak (Register Man)]

Hi, Michel!

What i think is,

If you can define the image (what need to put on the top of a new page) 
on the right place between paragraphs, than maybe the result will be good.

So, ie.

1. par
2. par
3. par
Figure x ... 
...

4. par
5. par
Figure x ... 
...


The first and second image containing blocks (which have the 
break-before attributes) are placed on top first on a new page.


This is the forced page break solution, and you don't need any complex 
page-master definition or "header" (fo:static-content) for this.


May this help for you.

Szeak

If you want displaying the image exactly on top of the second page?

Yes, that's what I want! :-) I want to place an image at the top of a page, no 
matter how many paragraphs I have. I want to place it at the top of the very 
page, where I put the image, just like you do it in latex with

begin{figure}[t!]
…
\end{figure}


I can help you in this.

That's very much appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hi,

If you want placing the image after 20. paragraph, why define it between 22.

Or
If you want displaying the image exactly on top of the second page?

So if you want displaying the image exactly on top of the second page:
You need to define a bit more complex page-masters as now. I can help you in 
this.

Don't hesitate to answer.

Hi Szeak,

Thanks a lot! This sounds very promising indeed. I can't get it to work, 
however.

If I put  inside my page-sequence 
definition I get the following error:

org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: For "fo:page-sequence", only one 
"fo:flow" may be declared. (See position 222:48)

If I create a new page-sequence and put it there FOP will end up in an endless 
loop and won't stop generating pages.

I'm not sure this is the right way, although it really sounds promising. Maybe 
I'm just missing something. I uploaded my small example here:

https://gist.github.com/michel-kraemer/af82f3e115afb877338a72fa34a539cf

If you render it you'll see that there is an image between paragraphs 22 and 
23. You'll also see that paragraph 20 breaks at the end of page 1 and continues 
at page 2. I want to place the image at the top of page two, so right in the 
middle of paragraph 20.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Michel

Hi,

I don't think you need any code modifing in Java.
It seems, you need a header for the page, if i understand good your needs..

So for display header correctly, you need to:
1. define an ie.:  in simple-page-master 
definiton
you can define an exact name for it ie.: 
2. define an  in page-sequence definition
you can use the named definition by: 

That's it.

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to place an image at the top of the page, just like you 
can do it in LaTeX:

\begin{figure}[t!]
   ...
\end{figure}

If I understand it correctly, you should be able to do this with the fo:float 
object:


   ...


I understand that FOP does not support the "before" value yet.

Is there a workaround to achieve the same thing? For example by placing the 
image absolutely or something like that?

I had a look at the code and it seems the feature is almost implemented but not fully yet. 
There is a BeforeFloat class that is supposed to place blocks in the before-float area, but 
even if I use  this class never receives any children. 
The float also disappears from the output PDF.

If there is no workaround for my problem I would be very interested to 
implement the solution myself. I'm a Java programmer and if anyone could give 
me some pointers on where to start and what is missing in the current code I'd 
probably be able to fill the gaps.

Let me know what you think. Thank you so much!

Cheers,
Michel

Re: Place image at top of page

[Frank Hirsch]

Hi Michael,

If it works for you it might be a valid solution - I once did setup a project 
based on fop 1.0, I never had a requirement to update... but I am not an expert 
when it comes down to customization. At least I would not send you to hell ;-)

What I also did to achieve something I was not able to solve in FO (run tables 
across double page) was to use Area Tree: the FO was built on DIN A3 master 
pages and the cut into DIN A4 in a post process... But using the hack seems 
much more plausible to me in your case?

Best,
Frank
