Re: C# Version of FOP
Please provide a link to your company's site so we can sample the ported code. Thanks. -- David B.

FOP has proved a excellent starting point for the project and I would like to thank all the FOP developers, past and present, for their contributions. Assuming the component is commercially successful, we are looking forward to repaying the Apache community by donating money or resources. Thanks again to all those involved with FOP and good luck for the future.

RE: C# version of FOP
As long as development of the C# version does interfere with the development of the Java version, I have no problem with people porting FOP to C#. However, I believe the primary effort should remain the Java version. Jim Urban Product Manager Netsteps Inc. Suite 505E 1 Pierce Pl.

RE: C# version of FOP
[Jim Urban] As long as development of the C# version does interfere with the development of the Java version, I have no problem with people porting FOP to C#. However, I believe the primary effort should remain the Java version. If C# FOP or Batik implementations keep pace with the Java state of the art... Of course, it's a given that the Apache Foundation's Java version of Batik (and FOP) will be the popular reference implementation, and with good reason. If those developers who are working on a C# port do have any back-influence on the Java version, it may be to contribute an abstraction proposal for a generalized Canvas, or other components that help Batik port easily to other rendering libraries. In C#'s case, it would be GDI+ on windows, and GTK# on Mono. Either library will probably present the same capabilities as Java's library for rendering SVG. What's good for C#-Batik would probably make an SDL-Batik possible, too. Or Python, and so on. And it would help FOP become more readily portable, which may be a more common need until SVG is as pervasive as PDF already is. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: C# version of FOP
Hi, Steve Speaking as an individual committer I think it's excellent that you've done this. I happen to be completely language-agnostic and I'll use anything that works, including everything in the MS stable. I would recommend that you start a Sourceforge project to take this further. Once you've got that done, and code uploaded, interested parties will appear, and I'm sure you'll attract people. I'd be interested in taking a look myself. Regards, Arved Sandstrom -Original Message- From: Sarandos Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: February 28, 2002 9:46 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: C# version of FOP I have been working on converting FOP to C# for a project I'm working on. I currently have a C# version producing EMF page images from the example FOP files from 0.20.3rc. I'm producing EMF right now since that is the specific format my application requires. To ease my conversion effort I backed out the SVG code (so I wouldn't have to convert Batik yet) and I removed the PDFRenderer (since I'm not interested in PDF currently). I focused on converting the AWTRenderer to produce EMF page images. I don't think it will be that much work to add the PDFRenderer back in later -- minus SVG of course. I wanted to find out if any of you are interested in a C# version of FOP or, if not, then if you could direct me to a group that might be. I would like to get an a open source group started on developing this version further. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
