Re: Is the current build of FOP broken?
No, the examples are quite ok actually. It's the Driver class that has a problem in getContentHandler(). Sorry for not being clear enough. By the way, you mentioned you're interested in RTF output which shoudn't be affected by this problem. The code in ExampleObj2PDF should work fine if you use RTF output (or any other structure renderer). On 15.11.2003 01:07:47 Will Peterson wrote: Is it just that samples that are broken?

Re: Is the current build of FOP broken?
Incidentally, for 1.0, I had difficulty in getting RTF to work with simple FO documents. It seems to generate an RTF-based script, but Windows isn't accepting it on my machine. Wordpad just opens it up as text, showing the underlying RTF script-code. Has anyone else tried the 1.0 RTF renderer?

Re: Is the current build of FOP broken?
Yep, current CVS code generates working RTF code (on my machine). I've opened readme.fo (--readme.rtf) in Wordpad and OpenOffice, for example. A big problem I can currently see is that all normal text has white color, so initially you see practically nothing. Selecting all text and applying black color brings the text to light. I can't comment on the coverage of the supported features (FO or RTF) but I think the code goes off in a good direction. Hopefully Peter Herweg or Betrand could comment here.

Has anyone else tried the 1.0 RTF renderer? I also can confirm that RTF is generally working out of 1.0. I haven't tested it since the latest round of patches from Peter, but I can open them in MS Word they look fine except for features that aren't implemented. Victor Mote
RE: Is the current build of FOP broken?
A big problem I can currently see is that all normal text has white color, so initially you see practically nothing. Selecting all text and applying black color brings the text to light. Yes, i can confirm that behaviour. A simple example looks good in Word 97/2000, but Wordpad displays the text as white color. This seems to be caused by the \colortbl group. Thank you for reporting. I'am going to fix it. Peter Herweg
Re: Is the current build of FOP broken?
OK ... Thanks. Is it just that samples that are broken? I'm just looking for some "embedding FOP sample code" esp. for the Object to PDF. If this is the case, is there code other places I could look at. (for example the command line tool "fop.bat") Thanks, -Will [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/12/2003 9:45:56 AM Hi WillAll examples using the Driver.getContentHandler() approach are broken atthe moment. I've managed to fix part of it but there is a remainingproblem I hope we can get rid off soon.If you're interested in what's going on in the development please subscribeto fop-dev and fop-cvs (both not very high traffic). You will be able totrack the progress. Obviously, we also appreciate a helping hand.Thanks for the feedback.On 12.11.2003 17:35:03 Will Peterson wrote: I'm having problems using the "snapshot" builds of FOP. In the past I have used FOP 0.20.5, and it worked great! ... I used it both from the command line, and by embedding the FOP driver into a program I wrote. Lately, I have wanted to upgrade to the latest in order to see the latest RTF rendering. (Which I know is still in the works) At first, I downloaded a snapshot of the latest code and integrated the code into my program. But noticed it didn't work (even w/ just PDF rendering). I also noticed the "embedding" examples don't work. They render PDF files, but the files can't be opened by Adobe Reader. (But they work fine in the 0.20.5 release) I also tried downloading the CVS build, but had the same problem with the examples. (I did however, run FOP from the command line successfully) I'm just trying to figure out how I can determine if a build is "in a good state". I have tried reading through the bug lists but have had no luck in finding the information I need. I basically want to figure out how to do a Obj2PDF example (embedding the code).Jeremias Maerki-To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
