Hi, I am using Batik 1.5b4b version. Through the app i am developing i let the user select a svg file and open it. It opens and renders properly. The app also allows user to add more <text> nodes to the SVG document. I take the value for the text node in a JTextArea and create a text node and append to the SVGDocument. My problem is that even after appending the new <text> node it doesn't show up on the JSVGCanvas. I tried doing the following: 1) setSVGDocument(doc) 2) repaint() on JSVGCanvas 3) repaint() on UpdateManager of the canvas.
but nothing worked. If i try writing the SVGDocument to a file, it contains the <text> node which i appened. If i reopen this file again thru my app the text node shows up. But i don't want it that way. I need the canvas to refresh when the SVGDocument changes. Please help! I have appended my method which creates the new text node below.
