Accessing glyph outline

[Jan Tosovsky <j....@email.cz>]

Dear All,

I am trying to address https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2677 but I
realized there is no convenient method in FOPGVTGlyphVector.java which
stores/constructs glyph outline data.

The promising one getGlyphOutline() returns just glyph bounding box. I've
reported this as
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2678

E.g. in Batik's SVGGVTGlyphVector all glyphs are stored as Glyph objects and
the outline can be accessed via glyph.getOutline(), see below:

    /**
     * Returns a Shape whose interior corresponds to the visual
representation
     * of the specified glyph within this GlyphVector.
     */
    public Shape getGlyphOutline(int glyphIndex) {
        if (glyphIndex < 0 || (glyphIndex > glyphs.length-1)) {
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("glyphIndex: " + glyphIndex
            + ", is out of bounds. Should be between 0 and " +
(glyphs.length-1) + ".");
        }
        return glyphs[glyphIndex].getOutline();
    }

Any idea how to retrieve outlines for particular characters or entire text
chunks? It has to work even for not installed fonts (specified in the FOP
config).

Thanks,

Jan

This is now covered by my patches 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2677
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2678

Would it be possible to review, patch and copy newly built
fop-transcoder-allinone-svn-trunk.jar into the Batik's lib folder?

There are some Batik issues depending on this stuff.

Thanks!

Jan
