Let me sum up this tread to see if I get the picture:
* Sun's codec [1] will not be integrated.
* instead, Batik's transcoders will be used [2].
* where and how these transcoders will be made available to fop will
be discussed next week [3]
* I'll start by implementing basic functionalities for
That's all correct although the third point does not really have
anything to do with the bitmap renderer.

Peter, let me answer you last mail [1] here:
You are right that the wiki is still vague about the detailled
implementation of the different renderers. Actually, I haven't started
to think about it until today. I will put my ideas tomorrow on the
wiki. I would be happy if
I downloaded sun's codecs [2] that Oleg used in his TIFFRenderer.
Jeremias, you mean that we can legally just put those in the FOP-code?
Following codecs are included in [2]:
- TIFF
- JPEG
- PNG
- BMP
So it should be possible to create a renderer for each of this file
formats. But do we need them

This would have to be checked out. I'd rather not, especially when we
have PNG and TIFF codecs under Apache

I thought FOP should be 1.3 compilant [3]? So how
do we go around that?
That's right. But nothing stops us from providing
additional code that's

Last time I checked Batik's TIFF encoder was kinda limited WRT some TIFF
compressions, and

Yep, that's the best solution. But please check that Batik's TIFF codec
supports all TIFF compressions Sun's codec does. 2 years ago it was sort
of limited, particularly wrt fax
Yes, please, because it's a lot easier to handle inside an IDE. You
simply define an additional source folder if you're on JDK 1.4, and you
don't get compile error on JDK 1.3.

Ah, there's the catch. Yes, CCITT4 is particularly interesting which is
not supported by the code in Batik. But still, I think we don't have to
support everything under JDK 1.3. I wonder how many people under JDK 1.3
would need that particular compression type. And if they really do they
then have
