Antenna House Formatter V7.3

Introduction

The Antenna House Formatter V7.3 AreaTree is created by integrating XSL 1.1 4. Area Model, but it is not intended to completely mimic the samples in Section 4.10 (although they are very similar).

This specification is provided as-is, without any warranty expressed or implied.

The XSL 1.1 Recommendation does not define an XML representation for the AreaTree. The AreaTree XML defined here is an original specification produced by Antenna House for use only with Antenna House Formatter V7.3.

The AreaTree output for "Hello World!" is shown below. As you can see, it contains information about font, color, and paper size (A4).

Area Model

The XSL area model (Area Model) represents areas as nested rectangular structures. It is impossible to handle documents that are not represented as nested rectangular structures. However, the nested structure is nested in a logical arrangement and the actual rectangles may be rendered as overlapping each other.

☞ For more details on Area Model, see XSL 1.1 4. Area Model.

Every element, other than the root element, defines an area. Areas are classified into two types: block area and inline area. In the XSL specification, regions are stacked (from top to bottom) in the block-progression-direction. The position of all areas in AreaTree is predetermined so the renderer need not worry about stacking. Although there is no cause for concern whether it is a block-area or an inline-area, the block-progression-direction must be considered. For that reason, it is important to know the exact physical position of the rectangle's sides (edges).

The rectangular area, as shown in the figure, consists of the Content Rectangle, Padding Rectangle, and Border Rectangle.

+----------------------------+
| Border Rectangle           |
| +------------------------+ |
| | Padding Rectangle      | |
| | +--------------------+ | |
| | | Content Rectangle  | | |
| | |                    | | |
| | +--------------------+ | |
| +------------------------+ |
+----------------------------+

This figure shows the general horizontal writing style using the block-progression-direction from top to bottom and the inline-progression-direction from left to right. This writing-mode is abbreviated as lr-tb. lr (left to right) is the inline-progression-direction and tb (top to bottom) is the block-progression-direction. The edges are defined as follows:

The before edge is the edge appearing first in the block-progression-direction. In lr-tb, this is the top edge.
The after-edge is the edge opposite the before-edge. In lr-tb, this is the bottom edge.
The start-edge is the edge appearing first in the inline-progression-direction. In lr-tb, this is the left edge.
The end-edge is the edge opposite the start-edge. In lr-tb, this is the right edge.

It is possible to rotate the areas. Even so, the definition of a logical sides remains the same. However, when the area rotates, the physical position is also rotated relative to the page edges.

If not, before and start would remain as the absolute positions top and left. Instead, these are mapped according to the progression-direction as follows:

	top	bottom	left	right
lr-tb	before	after	start	end
lr-bt	after	before	start	end
rl-tb	before	after	end	start
rl-bt	after	before	end	start
tb-lr	start	end	before	after
tb-rl	start	end	after	before
bt-lr	end	start	before	after
bt-rl	end	start	after	before

This area is called either a viewport-area or a reference-area. The viewport-area indicates the area included in the area to be rendered. The reference-area has its own coordinate system, and the coordinates of its child areas are relative to the reference area. In the XSL specification, a reference-area is always the child of a viewport-area, but it is not necessarily always so in the AreaTree. In the AreaTree XML representation, ViewportArea lines up behind the viewport-area element name and in ReferenceArea, behind the reference-area element name.

Datatypes

<digits> is a string of numbers. It is an integer with no '+' or '-' sign.

<integer> is a (possibly signed) integer.

<number> is a (possibly signed) number. Numeric values may include decimal points. Decimal points are represented by periods, not commas.

<length>, such as 12pt, has a <number> plus a unit. The following units are available:

cm	centimeters
mm	millimeters
in	2.54cm
pt	1in/72
pc	12pt

Antenna House Formatter V7.3 converts all lengths in the AreaTree to pt. The aim by doing so is to get rid of as many errors as possible because of the font size in pt.

<percentage> is the percent value plus '%', for example, 75%. As a <number>, this would be written as 0.75.

<color> has the following formats: Color values are not case-sensitive.

#RRGGBB
transparent
rgb(<R>,<G>,<B>)
rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#GRAYSCALE,<S>)
rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#CMYK,<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>)

<R>,<G>,<B>	0–255
<S>	0.0(black)–1.0(white)
<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>	0.0–1.0

baseline-after

The portion of the font height that is below the baseline.

baseline-offset

Offset from the baseline in the before direction.

reference-orientation

Rotation of the reference area. The value is in degrees. reference-orientation="90" indicates that the area is rotated 90°counterclockwise. Antenna House Formatter V7.3 only allows a 90° right-angle rotation. Rotation at angles other than right angles is defined as follows:

The area position is given to the bound rectangle of the content-area. That means, top-position, bottom-position, left-position, right-position determine the position of the bound rectangle.
The actual content-area has a specified angle for the bound rectangle.
The width and height of the bound rectangle. The same for space-*, padding-*, and border-*-width.

As in the following example, if the content area width is w, the height h, and the rotation angle θ, then the upper left of the figure is the starting point.

 0         X
0+-----+---+
 |   θ/ \  |
 |  /     \|
 |/        +
 +        /|
 |\     /  |
 |  \ /    |
Y+---+-----+

Dimensions of the bounding rectangle:

X = abs(w*cos(θ))+abs(h*sin(θ))

Y = abs(w*sin(θ))+abs(h*cos(θ))

are as above. The starting point moves to the next position.

0–90°	start-side	(0, w*sin(θ))
90–180°	after-side	(w*sin(θ-90), Y)
180–270°	end-side	(X, h*cos(θ-180))
270–0°	before-side	(h*cos(θ-270), 0)

z-index

Controls stacking of areas. Larger values are drawn later. Conforms to CSS2. Once the AreaTree is resolved, the renderer may disregard this property.

Contents	PageViewportArea+

PageViewportArea

A page within a sequence of pages.

Contents	PageReferenceArea, FixedViewportArea*

PageReferenceArea

Contents	(RegionViewportArea+\|PageRegionViewportArea+)

RegionViewportArea

In the XSL-FO specification, a page has the following five regions:

          +-------------------+
          |   region-before   |
          +--+-------------+--+
          |  |             |  |
region-start | region-body | region-end
          |  |             |  |
          +--+-------------+--+
          |   region-after    |
          +-------------------+

In Antenna House Formatter V7.3, the RegionViewportArea represents these regions; the region-body is always present, but the other regions might not be present. The XSL-FO specification defines a sequence for the regions, but Antenna House Formatter V7.3 allows them to appear in any order. Consequently, even the order of the RegionViewportArea in AreaTree is not fixed. The AreaTree does not indicate which region produced which RegionViewportArea.

The AreaTree output of Antenna House Formatter V7.3 contains at most five RegionViewportArea. However, it is not a problem if the AreaTree contains more than five RegionViewportArea.

Contents	GlyphArea* \| EmphasisArea+

GlyphArea

Lists glyph information for each character in the text. This is used instead of finished-text in the TextArea when rendering. Antenna House Formatter V7.3 does not output glyph information for all text. It is output only for Arabic, Hebrew, and so on. Glyph images are always rendered in the inline-progression-direction. The order remains the same for Arabic, etc. In other words, the glyph information for Arabic is arranged in the reverse order to the Arabic text.

Property	Value	Default	Description
length	<number>	-	Indicates whether this single glyph corresponds to multiple characters in the original text.
glyph	<number>	-	A specified font glyph ID in the TextArea.
glyph-width	<number>	-	Width of the glyph, where 2048 corresponds to the font size.
glyph-pos1	<number>	0	Measure of movement before the glyph image. Units are the same as glyph-width.
glyph-pos2	<number>	glyph-width	Measure of movement after the glyph image. Units are the same as glyph-width. At Normal position, glyph-pos1=0 and glyph-pos2=glyph-width. When this is a negative number, the characters overlap.
glyph-posy	<number>	0	Measure of the glyph vertical movement. +(glyph-posy) moves to a point before the glyph image and -(glyph-posy) moves to a point after the image.

A header indicating the type of the graphic may be included before the Base64-encoded graphic.

graphic-image="data:image/svg+xml;base64,H4sIAAAAAAAAC31S3W7TMBS...
graphic-image="H4sIAAAAAAAAC31S3W7TMBS...

If the header contains the media type, the image type has been predetermined. If it is not included, then the renderer must determine the image type.

Property	Value	Default	Description
src	<uri-specification>	-	The URI of an external image.
base-uri	<uri-specification>	-	Base URI to apply to src.
graphic-image	<string>	-	Image data encoded in Base64. When the same original is included in different areas, the data is repeated each time. After processing SVG in svgz, the data is transformed to Base64.

TableArea

The W3C table model divides a table into table-header, table-body, and table-footer, but the AreaTree does not preserve the distinction. Antenna House Formatter V7.3 resolves how to divide the table across pages or columns and repeats the table's header as necessary.
