Re: Patch to reduce the size of generated ps

2010-02-21 Thread Helder Magalhães
Hi Calixte, I wrote the attached patch to reduce the size of ps or eps file. I added basic shortcuts to postscript commands and gave an access to the property clippingDisabled. With these modifications (and in using the added method disableClipping) I can divide by 3 the size of eps files

Hi everyone, If I understand correctly, you can register your proposed projects in JIRA, see the above web page. Oops, I missed that sentence; today, while revisiting this thread I noticed that, according to the timeline [1], the proposals will need to be postponed for next year. :-| The

Re: Switching to Java 1.5

Hi everyone, If we're making this democratic then we should bear in mind that we don't want the majority oppressing the minority, we can't let the poll be the final decision. I subscribe to Mehdi's thoughts. For example, I noticed most active Batik committers pretty silent on this thread,

Hi everyone, [X] +1 Approve J2SE 1.5 as minimum environment Agreed. I don't think we can/should proceed 'for' Batik. Again, I've pinged other Batik developers as well (which seem to be quite overflown): https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46434#c4 Should do it again

Hi everyone, I think we have to be pragmatic about that. This issue has been outstanding for more than 2 months and hasn’t been dealt with yet. That means that among the current team nobody has the knowledge or the time to handle it. I have neither of those. I've made partial testing (in

Re: Interest of Java 1.6 [was: Re: Switching to Java 1.5]

2010-10-26 Thread Helder Magalhães
Hi everyone, A big advantage of Java 1.6 over 1.5 is that the @Override annotation also works on methods that come from an interface. That eases refactoring a lot. Java 1.6 also comes with a slightly improved Collections framework. BTW: I wasn't even aware of these new, cool features...

Hi everyone, I would like to call for a vote to merge the XML Graphics Commons color branch [1] into the Trunk. I've got the code in production since August and it's working just fine, especially the named colors functionality. I've now done some cleanup work and I believe the branch is now

Hi everyone, Hi Nicanor,  I am a big fan of many apache products and especially fop. I am using fop in lots of applications and it really does its job great and I wanted to use it on google's application engine as well. Besides google's limitations to lots of classes, I finally made it and

Hi everyone, As you are all aware, Jeremias currently hosts a PDF plug-in for loading PDFs as images within FOP. Actually, I wasn't aware of that but I bet it's Apache quality, coming from Jeremias. :-) I suggested this to Jeremias and he has agreed to donate the code to Apache. Applause

Re: XML Graphics CMS migration progress

Hi everyone, I've made some progress on the XML Graphics CMS migration. Does the CMS take the same markup used for FOP? Is there any automated transform mechanism or will this be a one-time migration? I'm asking this because I have a handful of changes in my working copy for which I didn't have
