FOP Preview Dialog

["Lawford, Mark : Enable" <ma...@barclays.co.uk>]

Hi guys,

I've been playing around with XSLT and FO for a couple of months, learning
the various syntaxes and such. I've only just realised however that there is
a PreviewDialog class included in the FOP code.

I hven't worked out how to use this thing however.

As a minimum "PreviewDialog(AWTRenderer aRenderer, Translator aRes)" appears
to build the dialog but how do I get it to that stage?

I can guess the renderer but what of the Translator?

If I have a source XML file and an XSLT stylesheet that produces FO content,
how do I preview the transformation from my Java code?

Stupid of me. I wrote an example last year and didn't even remember.
Maybe that's a better starting point. Sorry.

Also note, that Translator is a class, not an interface. Make sure you
have the right imports (meaning you use the right class and not some
other interface).

Have a look at the AWTStarter which itself instantiates and uses the
preview dialog. AWTStarter is used when FOP is started from the
command-line.
