[jira] [Updated] (FOP-1760) [PATCH] FOP doesn't support change bar generation

Jan Tošovský updated FOP-1760:
------------------------------
    Attachment: patch_against_rev_1686494_2015-06-19.patch
                changebars.pdf
                changebars.fo

Updated patch with a test document. Please note some examples in FO file are commented (see the reason below).

The original patch solves IMO majority of real cases. There is a room for further improvements, but hard to say how much effort is needed:

Issues:
(1) When dotted or dashed bars are used, change bars are drawn, but the text after change-bar-begin tag disappear (and no error is shown). Surprisingly it works for more obscure styles like ridge or groove.

(2) Overlapping bars are not supported. I would at least expect a warning (not supported yet) instead of exception.

(3) change-bar-placement inside/outside renders bars IMO shifted. I would expect them in the position start/end.

(4) Surrounding <fo:table-cell> by change bars seems to be unsupported (Class Cast Exception). Surrounding fo:table-row and surprisingly also entire fo:table-header/body/footer works fine.

(5) clone method in BodyArea class looks suspicious to me ;-)

> In order to produce change bars along the columns for changed contents,
> FO supports the fo:change-bar-begin and fo:change-bar-end elements.
> These are not supported by FOP.
> Support for change bars should be added.
> Effort needed
>  - add parsing and validation of fo: elements
>  - determine fo elements under influence of one or more change bars
>  - when creating areas from such affected fo elements, create additional areas
>     representing the change bars as defined in the FO standard.
