Subject: [xsl] XSLT/SVG variables question From: "Harry J. Foxwell" <hfoxwell@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 17:31:00 -0400 (EDT) |
I'm not quite convinced of 'Assignment Considered Harmful' (Kay, Chap 9) since I can't figure out how to solve my XSLT/SVG problem without good ol' x=x+y constructs. My general problem is to create SVG rectangles with text inside (line numbers included for reference) using XML data and XSLT: 01 02 RectA1 RectA2 03 +--------------+ +--------------+ 04 | string-A1a | | string-A2a | 05 | string-A1b +--------+ string-A2b | 06 | ... | | string-A2c | 07 +------+-------+ | ... | 08 | +--------------+ 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 RectB1 | 13 +------+-------+ 14 | string-B1a | 15 | string-B1b | 16 | ... | 17 +--------------+ My XML data generically look something like this: <BlockA> <string>string-A1a</string> <string>string-A1b</string> ... </BlockA> <BlockA> <string>string-A2a</string> <string>string-A2b</string> <string>string-A2c</string> ... </BlockA> <BlockB> <string>string-B1a</string> <string>string-B1b</string> ... </BlockB> ... As the block chart is built, I need to account for arbitrary number of strings per block and number of blocks. "Normal" variables would let me compute and increment SVG coordinates for the rectangles and text. But XSLT variables aren't normal! If you have any suggestions about how I should track the coordinates, or better yet an example, that would be helpful. Thanks!
