Vertical table header

[Georg Datterl]

Hi everybody,

Please have a look at the following fo code:

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:fox="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions">
        <fo:layout-master-set>

                        <fo:region-body margin-right="1cm" margin-left="1cm" margin-bottom="1cm" margin-top="1cm"/>
                </fo:simple-page-master>

                                                </fo:table-row>
                                        </fo:table-body>
                                </fo:table>
                        </fo:block>
                </fo:flow>
        </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

this code builds a table with a header, two columns and a row. Interesting part is the second column header, a vertical text. I know the first column header with its padding is responsible for the cell height. But who is responsible for the length of the outer vertical block (colored red)? Without the start-indent it would have the same size but would hang from the top border of the cell.

Questions:
*) Why would the block hang from the cell top without the negative start-indent?
*) Why is the red block as long as it is?
*) How can I increase the size of the red block?

Your FO file is invalid, which is the origin of your problems. According
to the Recommendation, “the inline-progression-dimension [...] may not
be ‘auto’ if the inline-progression-direction is different from that of
the parent of the fo:block-container.” [1]

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_block-container

Since you rotated the block-container by 90°, you must specify a ‘width’
or ‘inline-progression-dimension’. Otherwise the behaviour is
unspecified, and I actually don’t know what FOP does.


HTH,
Vincent
