I never got it to work at all; good to know the commercial one also failed, I was going to try that next.
let me know if you solve this [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Randy Paries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 4:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: container position=absolute seems to be off [spam-BCC][Faked >From Address][html-removed] Hello, i am working on an application that creates an .fo that represents a page of labels The problem is that is appears that the container position="absolute" settings are correct, but each block container is off a little(i have included example code below) the first label should start 1/2 inches from the top and then each label(block-container) should be an inch long. it seems that the first box start 1/8" to long and the 1' block-containers are actually 7/8's of an inch. So by the time we get half way down the sheet the labels are all off. I also tried a commercial FOP and it produces the same results. thanks for any help , hints or suggestions =============debug.fo=================================================== ============ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="column-page" page-height="11.0in" page-width="8.5in"> <fo:region-body margin-top="0in" margin-bottom="0in" margin-left="0in" margin-right="0in"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence initial-page-number="1" master-reference="column-page"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block-container position="absolute" top="0.5in" left="0.19in" height="1.00in" width="2.63in"> <fo:block background-color="white" border=".25pt solid black" text-align="center"> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Batson Medical Institute</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">JHawkins</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Jonathan Hawkins</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">4548 Peachtree Street</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:block-container> <fo:block-container position="absolute" top="1.5in" left="0.19in" height="1.00in" width="2.63in"> <fo:block background-color="white" border=".25pt solid black" text-align="center"> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Network Medical Associates</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">VJackson</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Virginia Jackson</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">478 Alabama Avenue</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:block-container> <fo:block-container position="absolute" top="2.5in" left="0.19in" height="1.00in" width="2.63in"> <fo:block background-color="white" border=".25pt solid black" text-align="center"> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Network Medical Associates2 </fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">dasdasd</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">Virginia Wolf</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> <fo:block line-height="14pt" text-align="left"> <fo:wrapper color="black" font-size="12pt" font-style="normal" font-weight="normal" font-family="Times Roman" white-space-collapse="true">478 Alabama Avenue</fo:wrapper> </fo:block> </fo:block> </fo:block-container> <fo:block id="lastPage"/> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> =============end======================================================== ======= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
