RE: Absolute position of original text in final PDF
Hello,
Within the rendering classes, I understand that each Object within the AreaTree
gets rendered individually. I hope that assumption's correct... Especially
org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderer.renderBlock
(org.apache.fop.area.Block block)
Within this method, I have discovered that the Block object retains the
original id information:
Map t = block.getTraits();
if (t!=null)
for (Object key : t.keySet()) {
Object tt = t.get(key);
System.out.println(" TRAIT " + key + " ==> " + tt);
}
The output of that provides
TRAITS
TRAIT 8 ==> #N10011
TRAIT 30 ==> 8000
Is there more information on what Traits are? The javadoc states:
public class org.apache.fop.area.Trait
Area traits used for rendering. This class represents an area
trait that specifies a value for rendering.
Am I right in thinking that when defined,
block.getTraits().get(org.apache.fop.area.Trait.PROD_ID)
will yield the original id that was defined in the ?
And secondly, do I already have the positioning information of the Block in the
final PDF, at the end of the renderBlock method? I would think that I have:
Final width = ipd
Final height = bpd
But how do I get the x and y positioning?
Thanks for the help...
Igor

Hi,
The ids get generated on the fly during the XML to FO transformation, for the
original tags, and get output in the FO format as . This
is expressed as

Hi Igor,
It is not clear to me how these elements are defined - in your xml

AW: Absolute position of original text in final PDF
Hi Igor,
since you already work with the area tree, try this: Don't autogenerate the id
but give each text in your XML a unique id. Set this id as the block id. Now in
the area tree you can find the block which contains your text (prod-id is your
id). This block has a width (ipd) and a height (bpd) as well as your id
(prod-id). Now for the positioning, I have not yet done that and a fast try did
not give me a clear picture, but worst case you can fake the horizontal
starting point by knowing the left margin and calculating the vertical starting
point by adding the bpd of previous blocks in the area tree. But I guess, those
who know the area tree better, may have a better solution for that.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to go down the Area Tree, looking for specific elements

The Area Tree is truly complicated - it's hierarchical, is there any way of

Set this id as the block id. Now in the area tree you can find the block which contains your text (prod-id is your id). This block has a width (ipd) and a height (bpd) as well as your id (prod-id). Now for the positioning, I have not yet done that and a fast try did not give me a clear picture, but worst case you can fake the horizontal starting point by knowing the left margin and calculating the vertical starting point by adding the bpd of previous blocks in the area tree. But I guess, those who know the area tree better, may have a better solution for that.

If so how do you transform them to fo whilst retaining the id attribute? Could you provide a small example of the xml and the corresponding xsl that you wish to be input of fop.

One of the features of the application I'm writing produces a PDF, based on an XML that follows a simple schema (header info, tables, images and text, but nothing fancy). Generating the FO then the PDF are the easy steps. Fop does the job marvelously. Now I need to output to the user the coordinates of bounding boxes. Those bounding boxes must represent the placement in the PDF of the original text within the XML. To provide an exam
Re: AFP Form Defs example
Hi Jeremias, Thanks for your input source. The Form Defs sample working for me and I will be able to go through the source code with the current sample. I have used the following sample to understand Form Defs/Maps AFP extension... Sample: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; xmlns:afp="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions/afp";> page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm"> This is a test I have downloaded the sample resource form map from the IBM AFP Workbench. Thanks, Venkat. Jeremias Maerki wrote: We don't currently have any code in FOP to create form maps. Usually, someone creates a form map using some third-party AFP tool. I don't have any myself and I've never generated one myself. I've just received some test files from a colleague to test with. You can use the f1samp.fde that is installed with the IBM AFP Workbench for testing.

RE: Absolute position of original text in final PDF
Hello, My original problem was: how can I know the position in the final PDF of the original text? I've just discovered the following method: org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderer.saveBlockPosIfTargetable(Block) The javadoc says: * id + absolute position will be saved. The saved position is * only correct if this function is called at the very start of renderBlock! This method is called always when a Block gets rendered. I guess that if I modify this method, I can retrieve for every Block its absolute positions. I'll try to fiddle with that. As I can infer from the Blocks the text that is included, I recon I'll have the solution to making my bounding boxes Cheers Igor -Original Message- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:georg.datt...@geneon.de] Sent: martes, 12 de enero de 2010 13:40 To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: Absolute position of original text in final PDF Hi Igor, I get the area tree as a DOM Node and get the nodes I'm interest in by XPath expressions.
