Written image map transcoder, but still some questions

Congradulations, and thanks.  FYI I this is really more in
Vincent's domain, he is currently away but due back soon I believe.

TK Now, there are a few last questions: - 

TK - Could it go into the cvs? 

I don't think this will be a problem.

TK - Could someone look over it, as it's my first programming with
TK batik?  

I took a quick look at it but as I said this really isn't my area.
One point is that often outlines will have multiple parts, so you will
fairly often have a Move command in the middle of a path, so this
really should be handeled (this will happen if there is more than one
shape in a group as well as lots of other cases).

TK - I have a last problem with SVGUtilities.getDescription. It
TK simply always gives me an empty string. Has someone a hint why?  -
TK - I have used javax.xml.transform for xml serialization. Is there
TK a better way in batik, as it was before not used?

I dunno.

TK What I want to do before commiting: - 

TK - Seperating in more classes. I'd like to extract the polygons
TK   with user space coordinates in one class, create the SAX events
TK   for the html elements in another and have the serialization in
TK   another. This is because I'd like to have it as transformer in
TK   cocoon.

All sounds like good ideas.  The current code is a bit monolithic.

Hello Thomas,
first thanks for your answer.

 TK I've written a transcoder, which creates html image maps.
 Congradulations, and thanks.  FYI I this is really more in
 Vincent's domain, he is currently away but due back soon I believe.
I have time.

 TK - Could someone look over it, as it's my first programming with
 TK batik?
 I took a quick look at it but as I said this really isn't my area.
No problem. But I think you have more overview of the API than me.

 One point is that often outlines will have multiple parts, so you will
 fairly often have a Move command in the middle of a path, so this
 really should be handeled (this will happen if there is more than one
 shape in a group as well as lots of other cases).
Does this mean, that MOVETO's imply, that the Paths before was closed? Would 
be no problem to change.
I didn't have a case until now, where a MOVETO didn't happen at the begin or 
after a CLOSE.

 TK - I have used javax.xml.transform for xml serialization. Is there
 TK a better way in batik, as it was before not used?
 I dunno.
Now, I've used xalan for this. I don't know if there is another way to create 
XML out of SAX Events. I haven't programmed much with XML before. Now xalan 
or another implementation for javax.xml.transform is required as library. Is 
it a problem for the distribution, to depend on this package?

 TK What I want to do before commiting: -
 TK - Seperating in more classes. I'd like to extract the polygons
 TK   with user space coordinates in one class, create the SAX events
 TK   for the html elements in another and have the serialization in
 TK   another. This is because I'd like to have it as transformer in
 TK   cocoon.

The serialization is already extracted now. Now I'm thinking of the html 
class. I think I will implement it as XML style sheet which is transformed to 
java via xsltc.

With kind regards
