RE : Alignement problems in table with no borders

2005-01-14 Thread Foucault, Sebastien
Hello,

I noticed that the use of border-color=transparent does not generate any
error message whatever the log level is, but it seems that this color
(transparent) is rendered as exactly as black is. This solution does not fit
my needs.

Any idea about the wrong alignment issue mentionned in my initial post ?

Thank's in advance

Regards

Objet : Alignement problems in table with no borders


Hello,

Here is the problem I have to deal with.
Using FOP 0.20.5 on the following FO file, I got sometimes wrong
alignements. It seems that these wrong alignements depend on the data
present in each cell of the table.

My questions are the following :
Is this problem known ?
How to overcome it ? I notice that the use of the border-width,
border-style, border-color tuple on each cell fixes the problem. But I
cannot use it because I need transparent borders (because in the real
situation there's a background image  which makes the use of
border-color=white unrelevant).

Regards

Accessing authenticated external graphic objects

2005-01-14 Thread Davide Bolcioni
Greetings,
while using FOP embedded in a servlet, I need to include graphics using
fo:external-graphic and said graphics are generated by the same servlet.
However, if the servlet uses http authentication the graphic is not 
included.

I think I could work around the problem by cloning the servlet under a
different name and having it provide service to 127.0.0.1 only, but I
was wondering if I could use approaches based on the servlet API such as
getResourceAsStream() or RequestDispatcher.include().
Thank you for your consideration,
Davide Bolcioni

Hi - thanks very much for the suggestion, and congratulations on a great 
product.  Unfortunately, when I made the suggested change, it had no 
effect on the output, which seems puzzling to me.  I'm certain that the 
change was executed, because I set a breakpoint in the code and stepped 
through it.  The imageType came in to the switch statement with a value 
of TIFF_BILEVEL_BLACK_IS_ZERO, and due to the change in the code, the 
value of photometricInterpretation was set to 0.
Ok, sounds like that's something else. I'll take a look at it this weekend.

RE: How to fix image degradation in FOP-generated PDF

2005-01-14 Thread Steve Albin
I am using SVGs for all images. That was the only way that I could
ensure print quality images with no dithering. For example the documents
that I am generating contain a lot of pie charts, and these circles look
great when using SVG but JPEG and PNG just didn't cut it.

 Using  fop-0.20.5 on a Sun/Solaris box, I am able to generate a PDF
containing graphics referenced by the fo:external-graphic tag.  The
PDF gets generated (sloowly) but the GIF and JPG images look
dithered, not nearly as sharp a the source images.  Images degrade when
they are the exact size of the rendered output and when they are scaled
down, whether height/width are specified or not.

 My group has double and triple checked that we are using all relevant
attributes (for example:  fo:external-graphic content-type=image/gif
content-width=80px content-height=30px
src=/default/main/Intranet/MST/WORKAREA/MST/graphics/logo_pop.gif/ ).
We've double and triple-checked the image files to be sure that the
images are sharp (they are).

 Can anyone suggest something we have overlooked that may be causing
the image degradation?  THANKS!

I get similar situations depending on how I process.

Using fop to generate a PDF (default) from a .fo file works for JPEG.
Using fop to generate a PS file from a .fo file works too.
Using ghostscript (gs) to rework the first PDF file to a PDF file makes
the image chunky.
Using ps2pdf to change the PS file to PDF makes the image chunky.

Maybe not directly relevant to your situation, but I suggest to look if
generating PS makes something printable with the proper resolution.

Input Question

2005-01-14 Thread Luke Shannon
Hello;

My current system runs a XSL to create an FO document in memory. This is
what I submit to FOP to render with.

The issue I am dealing with is sometime content inserted into the FO
document by the XSL contains HTML.

Right now I strip out all HTML before submitting the content to FOP. But the
HTML contains some formatting instructions that I am sure someone is going
to want to see in the PDF (font size, bolding, list, etc).

My solution to this now would be to handle each formatting html tag
separately (I would have a defined list to deal with, all other would be
stripped), finding it in the input and replacing it with an FO tag that
would perform the same operation.

Is there any easier way?

Thanks,

Luke

This is primarily an XSL question (or rather XSL solutions abound to 
help you resolve this). If you look on Dave Pawson's excellent XSL FAQ 
page[1], you might even find some xsl:template examples to get you 
going. Check out some of the XSL resources on the FOP Resources page[2] 
for more info.

That said, you'll probably want to create XSL templates for the 
attributes you care about, so you can use XSL to convert font-size, 
bold, list, etc. into their fo:block @.. equivalents:

e.g., btext-content/b = fo:inline 
font-weight=boldtext-content/fo:inline

You can patch the image factory to call the image producing servlet
directly. There is no easy way around this (URL handlers are another
possiblity, but implementing them in a webapp environment is even
more of a PITA then in standalone apps).

Thanks for all the help over the last week. I just gave a small demo of the
PDF rendering feature of the site and it looked good.

Some formating issues to resolve but the framework is in place.
