problem with SVG files from OpenOffice

[Kevin Flynn <ke...@birdstep.com>]

OpenOffice contains a handy drawing program that can export SVG files.
However, FOP will not handle simple drawings made with openoffice, even
though they display perfectly well in the Batik browser, Scribble.

After a little investigation, I found out that the problem has to do with
the co-ordinate space used in the SVG files made by openoffice.

OpenOffice SVG defines a co-ordinate space with a resolution of 0.01mm using
the root element's "viewBox" attribute, and then specifies all coordinates
as integers. For example:

<svg width="77mm" height="28mm" viewBox="0 0 7700 2800">
.
.
.
</svg>

This produces PDF output from FOP with a tiny dot in the top left corner of
the space reserved for the drawing.

If I modify the viewBox attribute to "0 0 77 28" and scale the contents by
0.01, as follows:

<svg width="77mm" height="28mm" viewBox="0 0 77 28">
 <g transform="scale(0.01)">
.
.
.
 </g>
</svg>

then the drawing is reproduced correctly by FOP.


Does anybody know anything about this or if there is any ready-made
workaround for it?

Why not using regular xslt templates?
<xsl:apply-template select="@nom"/>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/SVG-19990812.dtd">
 <xsl:import href="./CPAXXCAN1.xsl"/>
 <xsl:import href="./CVAXXCAN1.xsl"/>
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="first" page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21.0cm" margin-top="0.0cm" margin-bottom="0.0cm" margin-left="0.0cm" margin-right="0.0cm">
     <fo:region-body margin-top="0.0cm" margin-bottom="0.0cm"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
    <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="PRINCIPAL">
     <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
      <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-name="first" page-position="first"/>
     </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    </fo:page-sequence-master>
   </fo:layout-master-set>
   <fo:page-sequence master-name="PRINCIPAL">
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
     <xsl:for-each select="maquettes/maquette">
      <xsl:variable name="edition" select="@nom"/>
      <xsl:call-template name="[$edition]"/>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </fo:flow>
   </fo:page-sequence>
  </fo:root>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I remember having to work around a FOP viewBox problem over a year ago and 
don't know if it has been fixed.
I'm not sure if viewBox is implemented at all.

This may be one for the active FOP developers to answer.

(A search through the mailing list archives may help too)
