Description Thomas Deweese 2004-10-02 18:02:39 UTC

Fop should use Batik's image readers when possible rather than
relying on additional libraries.

The attached patch changes PNG and TIFF to use the Batik
codecs which are already shipped with FOP.

The patch also adds support for 'softMasks' (alpha channels)
for PNG and TIFF (at least for PDF output).

Enjoy!

Thomas,

thank you for the patch. Looks interesting. I don't want to play nitpicker, but
from what I've seen from discussion in the incubator it would be best, if you
would resubmit the two new Java files with the Apache license header, just so
everybody is clear that these files were meant to be submitted to the FOP
project for inclusion. Sorry for the trouble.

A long thread, just for reference:

Ooops! Sorry about that.
You are 100% correct the code needs to be under the Apache License.

Applied. Thanks, Thomas. Some people will be very happy about this change.
