Re: How to use FOP with MAVEN?
https://code.google.com/p/fop-maven-plugin/ does that, but it seems to be closer to an abandoned proof of concept than a mature plugin. You'd need to build and deploy it yourself, and it seems to require xml+xsl as input, it doesn't yet allow processing .fo files.

Do you happen to have any pointers? Couldn't find anything after a quick scan of the specification, but it makes sense since SVG is "scalable". Unlike Java graphics, which is clearly targeting interactive displays (screens), and most coordinates are integers, SVG is defined as scalable, device- and resolution-independent graphics. It works on an abstract mathematical canvas, and coordinates are abstract points, with zero width, around which paint is applied with a real width. The pixel (px) doesn't make that much sense defined as a screen dot, since one of the main targets of SVG is print, and a possible usecase is for SVG to be implemented as a standard printer language, alongside PCL and EPS, and printers don't have pixels (that's the purpose of SVG Print). Another aspect is that units correspond to pixels only in the initial coordinate system, but that one isn't fixed. The actual coordinate system can be either explicitly or automatically changed, so in the end a pixel length can be equal to 10 device pixels, or 0.024 device pixels.

If it goes through 1.5, then 0.5px will be above and 0.5px will be below it, which means that it actually fills in a solid stripe between 1.0 and 2.0, which is exactly a pixel without any antialiassing. If it were to pass through 2.0, then it would end up as a solid stripe between 1.5 and 2.5, which means that half of the first pixel and half of the second pixel must be stroked, and since half pixels can't be drawn, antialiassing is used.

Re: SVG pixel size
The problem is that the "pixel" is a very wrong/misleading unit. Initially (HTML3) there was no CSS, and no units, so there were just unit-less length: would create a table with a 4 pixels wide border [1]. Back then (early-mid 90s), almost all monitors were low resolution, and it was so obvious what a pixel was that it wasn't even defined. CSS1 defined [2] the pixel not as a screen unit, but as a an angle: "The suggested reference pixel is the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a pixel density of 90dpi and a distance from the reader of an arm's length. For a nominal arm's length of 28 inches, the visual angle is about 0.0227 degrees." That means that a pixel isn't a display pixel, or a dot, regardless of the DPI. Would it make sense for a 2400DPI printer to print lines 1/2400 in? Would that even be visible? One pixel is always a dot at 90DPI, according to CSS1. CSS2 defines the pixel both as a fixed length [3] and as an angle [4]: "1px is equal to 0.75pt", and "the points used by CSS are equal to 1/72nd of 1in." => 1px = 1/96in "The reference pixel is the visual angle of one pixel on a device with a pixel density of 96dpi and a distance from the reader of an arm's length. For a nominal arm's length of 28 inches, the visual angle is therefore about 0.0213 degrees. For reading at arm's length, 1px thus corresponds to about 0.26 mm (1/96 inch)." This is a change from the 1/90, since there are far more monitors at 96DPI than at 90DPI, so it makes no sense to define it that way. CSS3 removes the pt from the pixel definition, and goes straight to [5]: "1px is equal to 1/96th of 1in" And it keeps the visual angle definition for the "reference pixel". So, a pixel is a fixed length that doesn't scale down with the DPI, it should always be 1/96 inches. At 204 DPI that would translate into 2.125 dots.

Since you specify a width and a height, but not a viewbox, the path is drawn, but outside the visible area. If you increase the height of the SVG to 500, you'll see the image somewhere very low. So, make sure you're drawing inside the area that's actually displayed. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

On 09/08/2012 04:10 AM, Müller, Wolfgang wrote: Hi all, I want to generate some PDF from SVG via fop/batik from inside a web application. I am using the Grails framework, BTW. Grails runs its webapps inside a tomcat. Exec summary: Something works as a script, does not work in the tomcat, need idea where things could go wrong. PDF gets generated both times, but no custom fonts when using webapp. Long version: I took some of the sample code, wrote a small Groovy script that creates a transformer (no, i.e. default configuration), feeds it with the proper input/output streams and creates the output. Fonts are correct in the file generated. I also get plenty of output that shows that fop is configuring its fonts from the fonts on my machine. Great stuff. It also generates a .fop directory in my home and puts font caches in there. Great. Webapp: Now, for testing, I put a subset of the code into the bootstrapping code of the webapp. It creates a transcoder and transcodes an example svg string. It does a default font configuration, but completely ignores the fonts on my machine and also does not create anywhere a .fop directory. Depending on how your tomcat is configured, one problem that I've encountered in the past is that on some Linux distributions Tomcat runs as the "tomcat" user, and that user doesn't have a home folder where it can write. FOP tries to create a .fop directory in the home folder of the current user, and since that's not possible, it fails to register fonts. Just to check if this is what's happening in your case, you could configure tomcat to run as the root user. However, for security reasons don't just leave it running as root, switch back to the tomcat user and try configure a writable home directory for it. Another possible cause is that you didn't specify an absolute path to the custom fonts, and FOP looks for them starting from a different directory. From the documentation I did not really understand what happens. Also setting log level to trace does not help. Any suggestions? I would also be thankful for points of documentation where I could learn more. I thought "fontconfig" would be the place, but I don't see my problem represented there.

First, this is not a question for the FOP list, since this is strictly an XSLT (or rather XPath) question. An xsl:if test doesn't check all the nodes, but the existence of _some_ nodes that pass the test. A parent/descendant selector doesn't pick the first node of type , but one that does fit in the whole expression. The following-sibling axis, as explained on http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#axes , refers to all the nodes that are children of the same parent and follow the current node. So, the whole test checks that: - there are any RC nodes that have some text in them - and they have at least one following sibling that is empty (this is true for the TRC node) AND, distinctly: - there are any RC nodes that have some text in them (it doesn't have to be the same node as in the above condition) - and they have at least one following sibling that doesn't have Y as their content (and this is again true for every sibling node in your example) Overall, I think that the whole test is wrong, since it never tries to relate to the context node. What you probably want is to put this condition in a template that is already on the RCDATALINE, and continue testing from that point on with ./RC instead of going from the root with /doc/..

As to the original comment, I agree with Eric that is is not appropriate

On the other hand, XSLT is not the best language for implementing wiki

An alternative to writing a FOP extension would be to write an

as a courtesy extension. I wrote a transform with embedded code
starting with data in XML using an XSL to translate it. Then I figured
out how to generate FO and split that out as a separate step. That uses
the javax transformer. That step doesn't use any FOP objects.
If you think about it, output could be considered extensions also. The
main task of the FOP is to input FO and generate the IF. Once that's
laid out it can take various renderers and generate output so you have a
PDF extension, a PNG extension, a TIFF extension, etc. They don't need
to be in the FOP package. Someone who only wants to create PDFs doesn't
need any classes which create PNGs. If you could break all the
extensions out into subprojects it would make it a few extra steps to
download but it would be simplified into smaller jars which of course
load faster if you don't need them all.

Except that's how XSL works, and what FOP implements. FOP takes
exactly[*] 1 kind of input: the FO markup in XML defined by the XSL
Recommendations.
Nearly all FOP users, as well as users of other XSL formatters,
transform their source either with XSLT or some other tool into FO for
presentation to the formatter.
If FOP supports MediaWiki syntax natively, why not MoinMoin or some
other wiki? Why not HTML, DocBook, DITA, CALS, ...?

It looks like bug 48481 is pretty close to what I'm having trouble with, so I'll study that a bit more. Two additional questions: 1. How stable is the code in the trunk, and when will it be released as a FOP version? 2. I'm still unsure how deal with font cascades. I've seen numerous examples that have the final three fonts in the cascade as: sans-serif, Symbol, ZapfDingbats. How would Symbol and ZapfDingbats ever be used? Every FOP call would use sans-serif and ignore anything that comes after, right? I'm still really fuzzy about how this works for documents that have English text and something like Greek characters for math equations, for example. The Greek characters would have to come from Symbol, right? So how are they ever used if sans-serif is always used? Traditionally, different fonts were needed for different charsets, but Unicode solved this. All Greek characters are present in Unicode, so a good font with wide Unicode support should have all the needed greek fonts. Using special fonts to replace ASCII with symbols was a bad idea, better not propagate it into the new century. If anyone can point me to additional resources to read about fonts and FOP I would appreciate it. It sounds like the questions I have are FOP issues and not XSL-FO issues, but maybe there is something in the XSL-FO spec that would clarify some of this as well. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

Cascading doesn't mean that the first font which supports a given character is used, but that the first font that exists is used. So, as long as Arial exists, it will be used, even if it doesn't include glyphs for a specific codepoint. You could try using the Arial Unicode font, which has a broader support for characters, although the license might prohibit using it.

Re: xslt and xslfo

As far as I understand, those are the step involved: 1. xml -> xslfo through xslt 2. xslfo -> pdf through FOP But when writing xsl for step 1, I have to put all the fo coding inside xsl for the formatting. It seems to be very distracting. If I know what data I want from the xml file and what design I want for the pdf output, is it possible to build the fo file first and add the xsl piece later on? I saw that xmlspy provides a tool to generate xsl:fo file from a design. Is this a good tool to use? The first step is *usually* done through xslt, but that's not mandatory. You have to obtain an xslfo file from the original XML in any possible way. Now, the problem with xslt is that it mixes the processing code with the output in a not-too-clear way, which is a bit confusing if you don't have a good understanding of both languages. You could take another approach, such as using an imperative programming language (like Java or C++ or Python) with an XML library, or a templating language (like Velocity, JSP or PHP), which allows you to actually write the skeleton of the resulting xslfo, with tiny blocks of processing code where the data from the XML must be inserted. The latter approach is closer to your idea of writing the xslfo first. You could write an example static xslfo file, then replace pieces of text with XML processing instructions. Whatever approach you take, the process will still be valid, so feel free to choose the one you are more familiar with. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
