Re: how to generate charts in PDF?

2004-07-16 Thread Phillip Rhodes
I am doing this with 20+ charts/graphs and FOP. I used jfreechart. My servlet would construct a jfreechart object based upon request parameters based to it. jfreechart allows you to export the java2d object as png, jpg, svg, etc. I merely include the URL in my FO document as an external graphic

new contrib, "long request filter"

2004-05-06 Thread Phillip Rhodes
Hi everyone, I have been using FOP for a couple of years, and while it worked for me, my documents would take a long time to render and I would wonder if my request actually went through. Plus, my users would get aggravated. Anyway, I did some of the tricks one can do and rewrote my program to

FOP and user load?

Hi. I am trying to figure out how many users can simultaneously generate a PDF document with FOP. Average document is 20 pages long, with 20 images that are generated via servlet. Can anyone give me some ball park numbers or ideas on how to figure this out? How should I factor in available CP

Hi fop'ers, I have horizontal rules that span across the entire length of the page. They appear as separators between rows in a table. They are called "tablerule" in my xml doc. Cancer12 Heart Disease30

svg does not scale or respect other blocks space.

2003-04-04 Thread Phillip Rhodes
I can very easily swap image formats in my program. I did some testing with svg, jpg and png. 1) jpg and png will not "overwrite" other blocks. With SVG, the image will overlay over text. It seems not to respect other fo:blocks, even if I put the external graphic into a fo block. 2) the sv

image scaling memory leak?

2003-04-04 Thread Phillip Rhodes
I know the FAQ discusses this... It took me a couple of days to figure this out, but the image scaling that I am doing in FOP is crashing my application. All my images are returned via a servlet... If I turn the servlet engine off, no images are returned and FOP runs like a champ... (although my

how can i wrap text that is not being wrapped?

2003-03-28 Thread Phillip Rhodes
I have some text that does not have any spaces in it. When FOP renders the text, it can not break up the text. FOP will clip it and give warnings about overflows. It's a trivial example but here is something that will be clipped: Notice the lack of spaces. /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/w

Re: how to specify XML parser used by fop

2003-03-20 Thread phillip rhodes
If FOP uses jaxp, it would take whatever is the default parser. You can set this property on the command line We should definitely be using jaxp. Here is some docs I found on how to do this. SAX Parser Configuration The SAX Plugability classes allow an application programmer to provide an implem

svg as external graphic does not get scaled?

2003-03-17 Thread phillip rhodes
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.

I am trying to have a fo block be anchored from the bottom of the page.    Basically it's a image, and some text that I want to have appear as far done the page as possible, but not to cause a page break.   I see people use a footnote for this, but this is not working for me. The margins of

Hi everyone, I want to know if anyone has used PassiveTEX and switched to FOP? Or gone the other way? I would like to know what brought you to FOP, or turned you to PassiveTEX. FOP is wonderful, and I am not disbaraging it whatsoever. But as a small component in a much larger project, I can't be

Hi. I have created a html document as a result of an xsl transformation. All of the content is contained in an xsl file (which is built dynamically from a database and programming). The content (xsl) contains a lot of xsl-commands that do variable interpolation for the report content (e.g. De
