instream-foreign-object vertical alignment

["Rea, Matthew" <Ma...@auspost.com.au>]

Hello,
 
I have a fo:instream-foreign-object that contains some SVG to draw a few
lines.  This is placed in a table cell inside a block and I want to
horizontally align to the left side and vertically align to the bottom of
the cell.  
 
The following XSL-FO "nearly" works:
 
<fo:table-cell border-style="solid" border-width="0.1mm" border-color="blue"
display-align="after">
<fo:block text-align="left" vertical-align="bottom">
<fo:instream-foreign-object>
 
        <!-SVG content -->
 
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
<fo:table-cell>
 
The horizontal alignment works great but the vertical alignment only
partially works.... or rather it doesn't work exactly the way I want it to.
The problem is the vertical align does not align the SVG right to the bottom
of the cell like I really need.  The table row the cell is in is 16mm high
and the svg is consistently vertically aligned to approximately 0.5mm from
the bottom of the cell.  The same thing happens if I try and vertically
align to the top of the cell.  I want the SVG to be sitting right against
the table border which works fine horizontally, just not vertically.
 
Any ideas on how to get this working? 
 
I using FOP 0.20.5 on WinXP.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Matthew Rea

Ooppss, a typo. I meant padding-bottom !!

No doubt this 0.5mm is space reserved for borders on the cell. You can try 
specifying a negative value for padding-margin ?? If that fails, perhaps a 
negative margin-bottom??
