[Fwd: reference-orientation implemented yet?]

div class=moz-text-flowed style=font-family: -moz-fixedHello group,

I tried to implemente the following:

+++
The reference-orientation property 
(http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible2/chapters/ch18.html)

The reference-orientation property allows you to specify that the 
content of a box is rotated relative to its normal orientation. The only 
valid values are 90-degree increments, which are measured 
counterclockwise, that is 0, 90, 180, and 270. You can also specify -90, 
-180, and -270. For example, here's a 90-degree rotation:

fo:block reference-orientation=90
  Bottom to Top
/fo:block
+++


Is that possible or not yet

Bug fixed for Meta Normal. Can't tell for the Batang Font what's wrong there 
without seeing it. Do you get an error message when generating XML font metrics?

If you're lucky, the bugfix will be in the 0.20.5 release. If not, you'll have 
to download FOP from CVS.
See: http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.html

For interested devs: The MetaNormal font had zero values for ascender and 
descender in the hhea table. If provided a fallback to the sTypoAscender and 
sTypoDescender (found in the OS/2 table).

Patch for Named Destinations

2003-01-21 Thread Stefan . Wachter
Hi all.

I patched the fop-0_20_2-maintain branch (21-01-2003, approx. 20:00 CET) to
have named destinations. The patch allows to link to other PDF-Documents by
the following syntax:

fo:basic-link external-destination=handbuch-fop.pdf#dest=xyzexternal
link to named destination/fo:basic-link
fo:basic-link external-destination=handbuch-fop.pdf#page=5external link
to page/fo:basic-link

This part is based on work by Bernd Brandstetter published recently in the
fop-user-list. In addition, the patch allows to define named destinations by a
new extension element with the following syntax:

fox:destination xmlns:fox=http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions;
destination-name=xyz internal-destination=N40001A/

The destination-name attribute must correspond to the value used in the link
(dest=xyz above). The fox:destination elements must be children of the
fo:root element. In addition, they must not be the last children, i.e. they should
be placed right after the fo:root element opened. (Otherwise they get not
processed for whaterever reason this is). This part is based on work by Lloyed
McKenzie that was published in the fop-dev-list in November 2001.

Two additional classes are neccessary:

1. The destination extension element (org.apache.fop.extensions.Destination)
2. The PDF element for the destination (org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFDestination)

The most likely reason is that an incompatible Batik version is in the class
path. Cocoon, for example, is often distributed with mutually incompatible
Batik and FOP jars. The only Batik jar guaranteed to work with a certain FOP
release is the jar from the FOP distribution.

Title: RE: Has anybody used the Crystal Reports and how does it compare to t he FOP?






Jeremias, 


Thank you very much for the comments about this issue. 


One of the major problems related to the XSL-FO is lack of editors. I'm thinking about using RTF2FO to convert the rtf documents into FO, then the users/developers may use MS Word as FO editor. I have tried this method many times and it works very well. The benefit is that most people are fimilar with MS Word and the RTF to FO convertion is very close to WYSIWYG.

Regards,
Dianliang

Subject: Re: Has anybody used the Crystal Reports and how does it

I don't want to make Crystal Reports bad, but I haven't heard much good
from it, although that the last time that was 3 years ago. Things change.
At that time I was working for a Delphi-programming company that have
written their own Reporter because Crystal Reports was suboptimal. 


At the end you'll have to choose the tool that you're most comfortable
with. Do the people who have to create the reports like the tool their
working with? Does the tool support the things you need to be able to
do?


One thought I'd like to give you on your way is the one about standards
conformance: On one side you need different input and output formats
(such as XML, PDF, PostScript). Both FOP and Crystal Reports support a
variety of standard input and output formats. But what about the layout
style you need to develop for each report, the report itself. Crystal
Reports uses its own proprietary format, while FOP uses XSLT, XSL:FO,
SVG and other standards to accomplish the same. If you use a standard
based tool you have a high probability that you can switch the tool
without having to redo each and every report. You may well be able to
process your report using RenderX's XEP or the upcoming Adobe server or
whatever.


What about the editors? With Crystal Reports you get theirs. With XSL
you can use some editor. On the other side there's the problem that
XSL doesn't have any editors, yet, that get near the functionality of
that one from Crystal Reports. WYSIWYG and all.


Good luck with the decision.

 I'm currently facing a difficult decision whether to keep developing
 reports using FOP or changing over to the Crystal Reports. Having been using
 FOP for more than 2 years, I have gained lots of experiences in it. So I
 would prefer FOP rather than any other reporting tools. But my work mates
 want to use Crystal Reports. They claim that the Crystal Report is better
 than FOP in terms of speed, functionality, usability and etc. 
 I don't know too much about the Crystal Report, so I would really
 appreciate if someone can compare different aspects of FOP and Crystal
 Report. I need it to justify the development in FOP! Thank you!
