Multi-columns documents: Column balancing

2005-12-08 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Bug 37828 showed me some deficiencies in the current column balancing approach. It definitely needs some work. So far, I tried to solve it by supplying a special computeDemerits() method. But currently it only looks at the KnuthNode being passed in. That's probably not good enough. Does anybody ha

Hi Jeremias > You sound as if using a System.out/err is a sacrilege. sorry, you're right - I should have checked the code whether the System.err/out make sense where left. Let me get back to you on that Thanks Nils

FOP 0.90 Feedback

2005-12-08 Thread Jess Holle
I noticed 0.90 and the request for feedback. Just a small nugget of point feedback: For my own usage, FOP's applicability and usefulness will not change from that of 0.20.5 until auto table layout is implemented. I note that in the 0.90 release notes that it is not yet implemented, unfortuna

Funny coincidence. I just issued another request for feedback on fop-users. Thanks for yours! It's understandable that auto table layout is a big desire. Not only for those who want to create reports from database queries but also for those who want to convert (X)HTML to PDF. I personally believe

One other bit of feedback: Few other pieces of software appear to use Avalon. It's not a big deal, but using JCL might be a bit more consistent with other libraries folk are using (i.e. within a server environment). Jess Holle wrote: I noticed 0.90 and the request for feedback. Just a sma

Re: FOP 0.90 Feedback

2005-12-08 Thread Jeremias Maerki
We only use Avalon for its nice little configuration package nowadays. Logging has been switched over to JCL. The interesting point here is that switching to JCL was actually a step backwards, since it's currently quite difficult to extract per-rendering-run information from FOP in a multi-threaded

Hello: Here is some more feedback from a long time FOP user. I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED by the new release. I have used it to create a number of PDF documents from Docbook/XML sources and the results are excellent!Thanks a million for this. While I don't agree that lack of automated table lay

Thanks a lot, Craeg. Maybe I should take some time during the weekend and write down my ideas on auto table layout on the Wiki [1]. Maybe with such an initial spark someone might finally sit down and take it on. I can imagine the layout engine might look daunting at first. With a few notes this mig

Hey, you're right. text-align defines "" for table-cells only which should allow stuff like that. Unfortunately, this is not implemented. Until today, this little feature never caught my eye. Interesting. On 08.12.2005 17:43:26 Jess Holle wrote: > Jeremias Maerki wrote: > > >Funny coincidence. I

As I said, this is not nearly so important as automatic table layout, but it is a very important feature for tables of numeric (e.g. financial, inventory, or scientific) data -- whether or not the table is layed out automatically. -- Jess Holle Jeremias Maerki wrote: Hey, you're right. text
