Re: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy

2003-07-29 Thread Angus Stewart
Thanx Manuel,

The problem turned out to be a utility class using JAI that
preprocesses the image and, if image format not specified, defaults
to JPEG ... NASTY.

For some reason, too, JAI will not read a tiff that we compress using
group 3 1D or 2D encoding.

For the time being will continue to use png images, however, still 
unhappy with the amount of memory and processing time this requires.

Re: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy

2003-07-29 Thread Angus Stewart
It would seem that the real issue is that some code I was using was
doing an implicit convert of the tif image to jpeg before the 
transformation took place.

Sorry to bother.

TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy

2003-07-28 Thread Angus Stewart
FOP 0.20.5rc2

ISSUE: TIFF image rendering in pdf is lossy.

QUESTION 1: Is this a configuration item?
QUESTION 2: How can I, as a user, resolve this issue.

Comparison of tiff image to rendered image in pdf. PDF 
shows marked degredation.

PDF contains tag: /DCTDecode - indicates lossy compression

Using a faxed tiff image.  

Looked at ./org/apache/fop/image/TiffImage.java:
  According to code when compression type equals 3 use CCFFilter.
  Suspect, however, that DCTFilter used instead.

tiffinfo:
  Image Width: 1728 Image Length: 1073
  Resolution: 204, 98 pixels/inch
  Bits/Sample: 1
  Compression Scheme: CCITT Group 3
  Photometric Interpretation: min-is-white
  FillOrder: msb-to-lsb
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 1
  Rows/Strip: 1073
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  Group 3 Options: (0 = 0x0)
  Fax Data: clean (0 = 0x0)

Can convert the image format and render with better 'visual'
results, but this makes fop a little hungry. (tried png).

Your help is appreciated.

Rotating Text Elements

2003-01-13 Thread Angus Stewart
Hello all,

I have looked over the list and have found references to the fact that
the reference-orientation element is not currently implemented, and the
suggestion that rotating text can be accomplished by embedding svg.
However, a cursory examination of svg seems to indicate that there is no
support for external fonts (as is currently supported in FOP).

So, if I wanted to include a sidebar on a regular PDF document (8.5 x 11
text running left to right), containing a non-standard font, with the
text running top to bottom, it looks like I'm out of luck...

My questions:

1.To the best of your knowledge (as I know this is not the SVG list)
- Does SVG support external fonts?
2.If reference-orientation were supported, would I be able to
accomplish my task?
3.Will reference-orientation be supported in a future release? and,
if so, when?
4.And, finally, any other suggestions for accomplishing this using
FOP?

My thanks,

Angus
