Multi-columns documents: Column balancing

2005-12-08 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Bug 37828 showed me some deficiencies in the current column balancing approach. It definitely needs some work. So far, I tried to solve it by supplying a special computeDemerits() method. But currently it only looks at the KnuthNode being passed in. That's probably not good enough. Does anybody

Hi Jeremias You sound as if using a System.out/err is a sacrilege. sorry, you're right - I should have checked the code whether the System.err/out make sense where left. Let me get back to you on that Thanks Nils

FOP 0.90 Feedback

2005-12-08 Thread Jess Holle
I noticed 0.90 and the request for feedback. Just a small nugget of point feedback: For my own usage, FOP's applicability and usefulness will not change from that of 0.20.5 until auto table layout is implemented. I note that in the 0.90 release notes that it is not yet implemented,

Funny coincidence. I just issued another request for feedback on fop-users. Thanks for yours! It's understandable that auto table layout is a big desire. Not only for those who want to create reports from database queries but also for those who want to convert (X)HTML to PDF. I personally believe

One other bit of feedback: Few other pieces of software appear to use Avalon. It's not a big deal, but using JCL might be a bit more consistent with other libraries folk are using (i.e. within a server environment). Jess Holle wrote: I noticed 0.90 and the request for feedback. Just a

Thanks a lot, Craeg. Maybe I should take some time during the weekend and write down my ideas on auto table layout on the Wiki [1]. Maybe with such an initial spark someone might finally sit down and take it on. I can imagine the layout engine might look daunting at first. With a few notes this

As I said, this is not nearly so important as automatic table layout, but it is a very important feature for tables of numeric (e.g. financial, inventory, or scientific) data -- whether or not the table is layed out automatically. -- Jess Holle Jeremias Maerki wrote: Hey, you're right.
