OK: thanks for telling us what your top priority is. I think Thierry was planning to get back to you on how to deal with getWidth() as I beleive he thinks you could get things done another way, but I'll let him speak for himself. Could you give us a list of the other method which are temporarily not implemented? This would let us prioritize which methods we should tackle first when Stephane comes back. > Ideally I want to change to batik1.1 when it is available and update the > interface at the same time.
