wrapping xsl-region-after
This may seem like a strange request, but I have a user asking if the footer (xsl-region-after) of a report page can wrap to the next page if there is too much data to fit into the context area. The only solution I could come up with would be moving the footer information into the xsl-region-body, but this will yield strange results when the actual detail data also wraps. Just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone else has run into something like this. -Lou - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
svg as external graphic does not get scaled?
Using fop-0.20.5rc2 I am using the external-graphic object to includes graphs. If I use a svg, it does not get scaled. My graphs scale fine if I use other image formats. The SVG does get displayed, but it appears very large. There is a height and width attribute in the svg. fo:external-graphic src=http://test.rhoderunner.com/hra/chart?val=xamp;categories=March+2003a mp;chartValues=16amp;chartType=2amp;showLegend=falseamp;title=Diabetesam p;series=Diabetesamp;pdf=0amp;format=svg content-height=4cm content-width=12cm height=4cm width=12cm / Is this something that is not supported?

Re: Page headers and footers
Without trying your code, I have seen some strange page numbers when the data in the extent is too big and causes the header to wrap on to the next page. As a test, set the size of the header to be very large and see if your page numbers start working. -Lou Granchak, Tanya [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 03/14/2003 08:07:14 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Page headers and footers Hello!

[ANNOUNCEMENT] OKI dot-matrix renderer available for download
Hello fop users ! Finally, it has been done : our renderer to generate output for oki dot matrix printers is gone open source as part of the mogwai project on sourceforge.net. The current release can be downloaded at http://mogwai.sourceforge.net . This renderer generates escape sequences which can be directly send to the matrix printer. Thus, the data is not printed pixel-per-pixel like printing with acrobat. The printing process is really speeded up. The release 0.1 has the following limitations : 1. No graphics and no svg is supported. 2. There are only two font sizes ( normal and double-height, double-width ) 3. Only horizontal lines are supported. Vertical lines are cut away. This renderer has been used in production environment, and it fits our needs very well. The few limitations are no real problem, because the printing is done on pre-printed business paper, so there is no need for lines and the artwork. Making this renderer available is our way to say thank you to the community. All the developers of the fop team have done a real great work. Thanks a lot. I hope that this renderer is also usefull for other people. If there are any problems, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy coding!

Hi, I'm using embedded fonts in fop. That is working fine. But if I want to edit the resulting pdf files with Acrobat, the font names aren't correct in the file.

That is the correct behavior.

Re: number-rows-spanned
Peter, I appreciate the note. However, I'm already doing that and am instead interested in implementing a non-nested version as I am inclined to believe it will provide more optimized efficient results. Rob Stote's e-mail earlier today showed a ~6% cut in processing time: RESULTS FOR CALLED TABLES: 703 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 328ms/page 640 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 289ms/page 703 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 320ms/page 656 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 312ms/page 625 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 297ms/page AVRG: 309.2ms/page RESULTS FOR NESTED TABLES: 766 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 312ms/page 609 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 281ms/page 688 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 312ms/page 609 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 281ms/page 641 [main] DEBUG RenderPDF - Avg render time: 305ms/page AVRG: 298.2ms/page I realize this is somewhat subjective limited testing (there may be correlations to platform, as well as other processes running), but I am looking for the most efficient solution possible. From my experience with Netscape and other web browsers (a different beast to be sure!) nested tables tend to exhibit significant load increases as tables are nested deeper deeper.

I actually modified a portion of my own code to see. It still uses many nested tables, but my results did show a slight improvement (which, of course could be attributed to many things). Considering I've probably got 30+nested tables on each page (some 3 or 4 levels deep) I am hoping this could pan out to perhaps a 5-15% improvement in rendering times (I tend to be optimistic! ;-).
