Layout

manstein

Hi all,
Ive been writing a BIRT emitter by implementing the IContentEmitter interface.
However now i need to improve the layout. Problem is that all the Icontent.getX() type methods all are returning for all the report elements.

How do i get the layout information? Looking at the PDF and HTML emitter, seems they have some layout engine etc but since im not getting the layout info, i cant do any sophisticated layouts.

Implementing IAreaVisitor doesnt help, as the methods never get called from the emitter methods.

How do i ensure that the emitter and the layoutemitter are 'tied' ?

Thanks so much!
