The image is the first thing I put on the
page. It doesn't work. It really has to do with how FOP's render
engine works. It doesn't seem like things are put into
layers.

What
if you first place the image and then place the text. Doesn't that
work??
Hi all,
I'm creating a cover page that contains a
large graphic. Portions of the graphic are transparent (it's a PNG)
and I'm trying to place the report title in some of the transparent
region. But it always gets truncated by the graphic image, whether
transparent or not.
Is there a way to write on top of an
image? Specifically, here's the layout of my cover page:
-------------------
-GGGGTTTT -
-GGGG Title here -
-GGGGTTTT -
-GGGGTTTT
-
-GGGGGGGG
-
-GGGGGGGG
-
-GGGGGGGG
-
-GGGGTTTT
-
-GGGGTTTT -
-GGGGTTTT -
-GGGGTTTT
-
-------------------
The G is the image and the T is the
transparent part. As you can see, part of the title is in the
transparent part.
My only solution so far has been to split the
graphic vertically in half and then try to align the two parts. It
almost works, but careful examination shows the matchup isn't perfect.
It's definitely not production quality.
Any help would be appreciated!
Scott
