2003-04-03 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Thank you for your contribution. You'd spare us a lot of work if you
would resubmit your patch as a unified diff against the current CVS.
Thank you.

But to be honest, even if you resubmit the patch as a diff, I can't
guarantee you that it'll get integrated. As you probably know we're
doing a redesign of FOP and decided that the maintenance branch will
soon get discontinued. Most of us won't add any new functionality in the
maintenance branch anymore. The focus of the majority of the committers
is on the redesign. I'd like to encourage you, however, to participate
in the development of the redesigned FOP, so we can replace the old FOP
soon with something better.

Absolute-positon of a block

2003-04-03 Thread Mark C. Allman








Version: 0.20.5rc, with my fixes to get markers working.



What Im trying to do is place a fo:block at an
absolute position on a page. Any way I can. The idea is to format
text on a page so that when we feed a pre-printed form through the printer we
get X placed in a box, a name in its box, a date where it
should be on the form, etc.



I see that absolute-position isnt supported
yet, but that top, right, etc., are. Is there
functionality implemented in 0.20.5rc that allows a block to be placed at a
specific position or do I need to add the implementation of absolute-position
(and, if I need to do this, can anyone suggest any helpful hints)?

Re: Absolute-positon of a block

Mark,

That's funny... We are using FOP to move *away* from something like
this. Our clients are tired of paying us to sell them pre-printed pages
with the boxes, only to have the little x be off-center ;-)

I don't know if it'll help, but you could use blind tables with images
or something inside to maneuver the box where you want it. Of course,
it'll take a bit of trial and error. Also, the results might be
different depending on the printer, as well as whether you're outputting
with -awt/-print or -ps/-pdf.

Good luck!

Yea  were dealing with medical forms. We

RE: Absolute-position of a block

2003-04-03 Thread Mark C. Allman










Aha, I see what I need to change. 



I take the posted example, move the fo:block-container
to the fo:flow, wrap it in a fo:block, and it disappears. This is what I was
doing (a container in a block) and it wasnt working. As I (try to)
read the spec it seems legal to do this. If I take out the wrapping fo:block
it appears to work like a charm. 



Heres the edited FO code:



?xml version=1.0
encoding=UTF-8 ?

 fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format

 fo:layout-master-set

 fo:simple-page-master
master-name=simpleA4


page-height=11in page-width=8.5in


margin-top=0in margin-bottom=0in


margin-left=0in margin-right=0in


fo:region-before extent=0in /


fo:region-body margin-top=0in /

 /fo:simple-page-master

 /fo:layout-master-set

 fo:page-sequence
master-reference=simpleA4

 fo:flow
flow-name=xsl-region-body


fo:blockHello World!/fo:block


fo:blockxsl-region-before/fo:block



 fo:block !-- ADDED,
remove to have the container appear --



 fo:block-container
left=2cm top=1cm


width=5cm
height=1cm


background-color=lightgreen


position=absolute


fo:blockI love block-containers!/fo:block

 /fo:block-container



 /fo:block !-- ADDED,
remove to have the container appear --



 /fo:flow

 /fo:page-sequence

 /fo:root



Its NO BIG DEAL at all. I just wanted to check
with folks after consulting the compliance page.

 Version: 0.20.5rc, with my fixes to get markers working.

 

 

 

 What I'm trying to do is place a fo:block at an absolute position
on a

 page. Any way I can. The idea is to format text on a
page so that when

 we feed a pre-printed form through the printer we get
X placed in a

 box, a name in it's box, a date where it should be on the form,
etc.

 

 

 

 I see that absolute-position isn't supported yet, but
that top,

 right, etc., are. Is there functionality
implemented in 0.20.5rc that

 allows a block to be placed at a specific position or do I need to
add

 the implementation of absolute-position (and, if I
need to do this,

 can anyone suggest any helpful hints)?
