Barcode-line on a page....

[Jo...@kbcsecurities.be]

i render a pdf with FOP.
and i'm extremely happy with it.
But, i need to draw a line in the leftmargin off the page (for a machine
how puts the letters in a envelope).
But it's a fixed location and a fixed length.

Now i need to be able to say (but then in FOP language)
print a line here: 14.2(x from), 220(y from), 51(x to), 220(y to) the line
must be 1 pt thick or 2 points whatever...

now how do i do that?

Please (or we can do that or the whole FOP project goes down the drain.)

thank you very much for your help...

If you want to draw horizontal or vertical lines,
you can add flat block-containers inside appropriate
static-content element : 

  <fo:static-content flow-name="first-before">       
    ...
    <fo:block-container left="(x from)"
                        top="(y from)" 
	                width="(y width)"
			height="0"
                        position="absolute"
                        border-after-width="2pt"
	                border-after-style="solid"/> 
    ...
  </fo:static-content>
