Problems sizing text in a rotated block

[Jon Schewe <jp...@mtu.net>]

I am using Apache FOP to render the attached document. The text "M01"
and "M02" are to be rotated and centered across the rows that they
refer to. I have put a red border around the block-container that the
text is inside to try and debug the issue. It appears that I need to
specify a size for the elements. Is it possible to have the height
(width before rotation) automatically determined by the other cells in
the table? Ideally I would like to have the rotated cell height be the
minimum of the height needed for the rotated text and the height of the
rows that it is spanning.

In the end this is an embedded application using the FOP library. I am
testing using FOP version 2.4 on Linux with Java 1.8.

>./fop-2.4/fop/fop -version
FOP Version 2.4

>java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_252"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_252-8u252-b09-1~18.04-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.252-b09, mixed mode)


Thank you,
Jon

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this rotated text displaying
properly with FOP automatically determining the size?

So far I have worked around this problem by creating an inline SVG with
the rotated text.
