RE: Page background color
I finally achieved the layout I wanted. Thank you for your help. I just needed to know a bit more about how the regions work. (I use PDF as the output format, and use points as units rather than pixels as I did in the example.) -Original Message- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8. januar 2005 21:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Page background color Dennis Myrén wrote: However, I started trying just to get the background color to be applied across all regions, and I have not succeeded.

Page background color
Hi. I have this page with objects, some of them are positioned at strict and exact locations(they are placed in static-content), and one is a flowing object(a table in flow). Now i try to do a simple thing, just setting the background color of the entire page. I have only succeeded to color the background of the region-body region, where the flowing table is located. The static content i have not succeeded to color(static-content is mapped to region-before). Is there a way to set the background color of the entire page, regardless of whether objects are placed in static-content or flow? One more question; the flowing table is often flowing through not only one but a sequence of pages. The static content is repeated on every page where the table is flowing. I would like not to repeat that static content, but rather have it rendered only at the first page. I really appreciate help.

This is straigt forward to achieve. You will need to create two fo:simple-page-master objects, one with a region-before defined and the other without. Then create a fo:page-sequence-master which uses defines which simple-page-master is used based on page-position. The fo:page-sequence then references the page-sequence-master.

[ATT. Chris] Hi Chris and thank you very much for your efforts in helping me out.

Page background color
Hello, I am using fop-0.20.3 to generate some PDF documents. Now I wish to get a gray background for the document's hole pages, independent from the size of their content. According to the XSL-FO specification the tag fo:region-body supports an attribute background-color, so what I tried is the following: fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master page-height=841.9pt page-width=595.3pt master-name=spm_1 fo:region-body background-color=#d9d9d9 region-name=region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=spm_1 fo:flow flow-name=region-body fo:blockTest/fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root But in the resulting PDF none gray area does appear. It would not help to use a tag fo:block-container background-color=#d9d9d9, because the document's content may take several pages, so the containers height would be unknown. I also tried to place a gray block-container as fo:static-content, but then it is in the foreground and overwrites the pages' content. Could anybody please give me a hint how to solve my problem? Kind regards and thanks in advance, Bjoern Luetkemeier
