It's a good idea to buffer the OutputStream as demonstrated to improve + performance. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 3:</strong> We recommend that you use JAXP Transformers even + if you don't do XSLT transformations to generate the XSL-FO file. This way + you can always use the same basic pattern. The example here sets up an + "identity transformer" which just passes the input (Source) unchanged to the + output (Result). You don't have to work with a SAXParser if you don't do any + XSLT transformations. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 4:</strong> Here you set up the input and output for the XSLT + transformation. The Source object is set up to load the "myfile.fo" file. + The Result is set up so the output of the XSLT transformation is sent to FOP. + The FO file is sent to FOP in the form of SAX events which is the most efficient + way. Please always avoid saving intermediate results to a file or a memory buffer + because that affects performance negatively. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 5:</strong> Finally, we start the XSLT transformation by starting + the JAXP Transformer. As soon as the JAXP Transformer starts to send its output + to FOP, FOP itself starts its processing in the background. When the + <code>transform()</code> method returns FOP will also have finished converting + the FO file to a PDF file and you can close the OutputStream. + <note label="Tip!"> + It's a good idea to enclose the whole conversion in a try..finally statement. If + you close the OutputStream in the finally section, this will make sure that the + OutputStream is properly closed even if an exception occurs during the conversion. + </note> + </li> + </ul> + <p> + If you're not totally familiar with JAXP Transformers, please have a look at the + <a href="#examples">Embedding examples</a> below. The section contains examples + for all sorts of use cases. If you look at all of them in turn you should be able + to see the patterns in use and the flexibility this approach offers without adding + too much complexity. + </p> + <p> + This may look complicated at first, but it's really just the combination of an + XSL transformation and a FOP run. It's also easy to comment out the FOP part + for debugging purposes, for example when you're tracking down a bug in your + stylesheet. You can easily write the XSL-FO output from the XSL transformation + to a file to check if that part generates the expected output. An example for that + can be found in the <a href="#examples">Embedding examples</a> (See "ExampleXML2FO"). + </p> + <note> + Please be aware that you should not reuse a Fop instance for additional rendering runs. + Recreate a new instance for each rendering run. This is a relatively inexpensive + operation and will be further optimized shortly. + </note> + <section id="basic-logging"> + <title>Logging</title> + <p> + Logging is now a little different than it was in FOP 0.20.5. We've switched from + Avalon Logging to <a href="ext:jakarta/commons/logging">Jakarta Commons Logging</a>. + While with Avalon Logging the loggers were directly given to FOP, FOP now retrieves + its logger(s) through a statically available LogFactory. This is similar to the + general pattern that you use when you work with Apache Log4J directly, for example. + We call this "static logging" (Commons Logging, Log4J) as opposed to "instance logging" + (Avalon Logging). This has a consequence: You can't give FOP a logger for each + processing run anymore. The log output of multiple, simultaneously running FOP instances + is sent to the same logger. + </p> + <note> + We know this may be an issue in multi-threaded server environments if you'd like to + know what's going on in every single FOP processing run. We're planning to add an + additional feedback facility to FOP which can be used to obtain all sorts of specific + feedback (validation messages, layout problems etc.). "Static logging" is mainly + interesting for a developer working on FOP and for advanced users who are debugging + FOP. We don't consider the logging output to be useful to normal FOP users. Please + have some patience until we can add this feature or jump in and help us build it. We've + set up a <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ProcessingFeedback">Wiki page</a> + which documents what we're going to build. + </note> + <p> + By default, <a href="ext:jakarta/commons/logging">Jakarta Commons Logging</a> uses + JDK logging (available in JDKs 1.4 or higher) as its backend. You can configure Commons + Logging to use an alternative backend, for example Log4J. Please consult the + <a href="ext:jakarta/commons/logging">documentation for Jakarta Commons Logging</a> on + how to configure altentive backends. + </p> + </section> + + <section id="render"> + <title>Processing XSL-FO</title> + <p> + Once the Fop instance is set up, call <code>getDefaultHandler()</code> to obtain a SAX + DefaultHandler instance to which you can send the SAX events making up the XSL-FO + document you'd like to render.

Since PDF and most output formats do not have a concept of resolution, but only of absolute image units (i.e. pixels) FOP ignores the resolution values as well. Instead, FOP uses the dimensions of the image as specified in the fo:external-graphic element to render the image:</p> + <ul> + <li>If no dimensions are given, FOP uses a default value of 72 dpi to compute the graphic's dimensions.

FOP will render the graphic at 4.167 inches wide, 5.555 inches high, with an apparent resolution of 72 dpi.</li> + <li>If only one dimension is given, FOP by default uses the same aspect ratio to compute the other dimension (to avoid the appearance of stretching). For example, suppose a graphic 300 pixels wide and 400 pixels high, for which content-width = ".5in". FOP will compute the content-height = .667 inches, and will render the graphic at that size, with an apparent resolution of 600 dpi.</li> + <li>If both dimensions are given, FOP simply renders the image in that space. For example, suppose a graphic 300 pixels wide and 400 pixels high, for which content-width = "3in" and content-height = "4in". FOP will render the graphic at that size, with an apparent resolution of 100 dpi.</li> + </ul> + <p>If you need a higher apparent output resolution for bitmapped images, first make sure that at least one dimension of the image is defined in your XSL-FO input. Apart from that, resolution problems are in the image file itself, and must be corrected there: use or create a higher-resolution image file.</p> + <note>The explanation above describes only the basic default behavior.

Even numbers indicate an unacceptable location, with + higher values overriding lower values indicating an acceptable position. + A value of zero (inhibiting) is implied when there is no number present. + Generally patterns are constructed so that valuse greater than 4 are rare. + Due to a bug currently patterns with values of 8 and greater don't + have an effect, so don't wonder.</li> + </ul> + Here are some examples from the English patterns file: + <ul> + <li>Knuth (<em>The TeXBook</em>, Appendix H) uses the example <strong>hach4</strong>, which indicates that it is extremely undesirable to place a hyphen after the substring "hach", for example in the word "toothach-es".</li> + <li><strong>.leg5e</strong> indicates that "leg-e", when it occurs at the beginning of a word, is a very good place to place a hyphen, if one is needed. Words like "leg-end" and "leg-er-de-main" fit this pattern.</li> + </ul> + Note that the algorithm that uses this data searches for each of the word's substrings in the patterns, and chooses the <em>highest</em> value found for letter combination. + </li> + </ul> + <p>If you want to convert a TeX hyphenation pattern file, you have to undo + the TeX encoding for non-ASCII text. FOP uses Unicode, and the patterns + must be proper Unicode too. You should be aware of the XML encoding issues, + preferably use a good Unicode editor.</p> + <p>Note that FOP does not do Unicode character normalization. If you use + combining chars for accents and other character decorations, you must + declare character classes for them, and use the same sequence of base character + and combining marks in the XSLFO source, otherwise the pattern wouldn't match. + Fortunately, Unicode provides precomposed characters for all important cases + in common languages, until now nobody run seriously into this issue. Some dead + languages and dialects, especially ancient ones, may pose a real problem + though.</p> + <p>If you want to generate your own patterns, an open-source utility called + patgen is available on many Unix/Linux distributions and every TeX + distribution which can be used to assist in + creating pattern files from dictionaries. Pattern creation for languages like + english or german is an art. If you can, read Frank Liang's original paper + "Word Hy-phen-a-tion by Com-pu-ter" (yes, with hyphens). It is not available + online. The original patgen.web source, included in the TeX source distributions, + contains valuable comments, unfortunately technical details obscure often the + high level issues. Another important source is + <a class="fork" href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/tex/texbook.tex">The + TeX Book</a>, appendix H (either read the TeX source, or run it through + TeX to typeset it). Secondary articles, for example the works by Petr Sojka, + may alos give some much needed insigth into problems arising in automated + hyphenation.</p> + </section> + </body> +</document> diff --git a/src/documentation/content/xdocs/trunk/index.xml b/src/documentation/content/xdocs/trunk/index.xml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..ea60c741b --- /dev/null +++ b/src/documentation/content/xdocs/trunk/index.xml @@ -0,0 +1,49 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<!-- + Copyright 1999-2005 The Apache Software Foundation + + Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); + you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. + You may obtain a copy of the License at + + http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 + + Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software + distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, + WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. + See the License for the specific language governing permissions and + limitations under the License. +--> +<!-- $Id$ --> +<!DOCTYPE document PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Documentation V2.0//EN" "http://forrest.apache.org/dtd/document-v20.dtd"> +<document> + <header> + <title>Apache FOP Trunk (Development code)</title> + <version>$Revision: 201586 $</version> + </header> + <body> + <section id="intro"> + <title>Introduction</title> + <p> + <strong>FOP Trunk</strong> is the name for the current development code as found in the + <a href="ext:svn-repo/trunk">Subversion repository</a>.
