Design Tasks

Hi All,

These are the design tasks that I think we need to cover before (serious)
coding is done on the new layout approach.

FO Objects:
The classes that represent the FO object heirarchy should implement one or
more interfaces that represent what the object can do in terms of the
layout and what it will add into the layout. An fo object can create an
inline or a block area or return what its children create.

Layout Managers:
Areas that create a page or block area will need to implement a layout
manager that can take the information for the current object and add child
created areas. It is likely that there will be managers for page, block,
table and list among others.

Area Tree:
The area tree needs to have all the appropriate block and inline areas and
extra information to handle the layout process.
Inline areas - character, leader, space, unresolved page, container etc.
Block areas - in flow block, relative and absolute position, viewport areas

Renderers:
The renderers need to be able to handle the area tree. eg. blocks, inlines,
fills, clips, viewports, etc.

The design includes descriptions of what it does, the layout situations it
handles and how it is used.

Of course all of these parts will need to co-operate, so co-operation will
be needed when doing the design.
Across all of these are things like footnotes, floats and links.

So far I have started to look at the area tree.
So for those people who think they are up to the challenge we can start to
get stuck into the lower level design/implementation of the new layout.
I think a two week period is enough to get a good view of what we need to
do here. So we can aim for 24 Sept.

Documents will eventually be placed in docs/design to add to the current
information.

Any questions/comments are welcome and particularly contributions.

One of those Internet-enabled electronic whiteboards. :-)

Why don't you produce an initial concept for what you think layout managers
should do, and I'll do the same for FO's. Then we can define the boundary.

Well, you already know that I am interested in that, but I backed off

Re: Design Tasks

Posted by Bodo Teichmann <bo...@tanzerei.com>.
finally i found a workaround for my 2. problem:
the 2 files page.svg and float.svg were not found during the fop run because
in the
fop.fo file there where the following references to the images:
src="url(page.svg)"
and
src="url(float.svg)"

i simply removed "url" and the "()" so that i got :

src="page.svg"
src="float.cvs"

and got the fop.pdf including the images!

does anyone knows what the actual problem is here ? does this look like a
XSLT problem or is it a FOP problem ?

Karen, Keiron,
in fact, it is the classpath sequence: i moved the fop.jar at the beginning
of the classpath in the build.bat script and now this problem is gone, but
problem no. 2 is still there....

Hi Bodo,

Maybe it's Windows or maybe it's your Xslt task. The fact that the
parser can't find a URI for your document sounds familiar. I mad a
change in Xslt a couple of weeks ago which I think might fix this.
Assuming you are updating from CVS, please make sure you update the
sources and then rebuild the buildtools.jar.

using the command "build -buildfile buildtools.xml" in your xml-fop
directory.

Hope that helps you.

It sounds like a problem with windows (dos) and classpaths. 

It works fine for me on unix so I don't really know what the problem is.

Keiron,
now i got the pdf but still have the following problems:
1. the relative uri in fop.xml do not work. i get the following error from
the SAX parser:

unfortuately the error message is a terrible mix from german (but without
german umlauts) and english. the german parts translated back to english
probably mean:
'Relative URI "design/intro.xml"; can not be resoved without a
Document-URI.'
if i replace all relative URI with absolute ones starting with
file:///C:/workdir_cvs/xml-fop_cvs/docs/ then it works up to this problem:

2. beside some warnings fop can not handle the external SVG's so that the
pdf has no images contained:

I have just changed it so that you don't need this jar, it uses the xslt
task that is in the fop tools instead.
So update your cvs and it should be a bit better.

Keiron,
i still have a little problem with the optional.jar.
runing build.bat gives me an:

C:\workdir_cvs\xml-fop_cvs\docs\design\build.xml:49:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundExce
ption: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.TraXLiaison
error.

looking into optional.jar, downloaded from
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.4/bin/
jakarta-ant-1.4-optional.jar      (and placed into fops lib directroy)
tells me that there is no TraXLiaison class in package
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.
(i can only find a "XslpLiaison.class")
do you use a different version of "optional.jar" or do i need to recompile
ant with special options?

The docbook files are the files from the distribution at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook.
You need to unpack the distro and put the files into the
docs/design/docbook directory. So that the docbook "README" file (among
others) will be in "docs/design/docbook/README".

You just need to get the zip file "docbkx412.zip" and to then unzip it into
the docs/design/docbookx/ directory.
I don't really know what the package is, something to do with dtds.

This is an error, just ignore it, it will go away.

You will also need the ant optional jar file in lib/optional.jar

Hopefully this will become easier??

Keiron,
i would like to help in further development of fop.
currently i'm still in the learning stage and because of that i would realy
like to read the lastest doc from you in docs/design.
unfortunately i don't know much about docbook and the information given in
the docs/design/Readme is not sufficient for me to generate the pdfs.

> The Readme:
> To convert to pdf:
>- place the docbook files in a directory name "docbook"

which are the docbook files. and what should be the parent directory of
"docbook" , should i create this directory in the docbook or in the fop
package or do i need to create a new directory hirachy for the conversion ?

>- place docbookx package in a directory name "docbookx"

what exactly is the docbookx package? is it the zip file found in
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/index.shtml
called "docbkx412.zip" ?

>the files are avaialable here:
>http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/index.shtml

what files do i need from this site ? just the .zip ?

do i need anything from  http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook ?


>- run the build script
im working on w2k so i need to translate the sh script to .bat. what is
"jboss"  and how do i need to set $JBOSS_HOME ?
