Greetings everybody, I'd like to contribute to Batik and propose the following:
Situation: I'm currently working on a project where SVG is being used to define layouts for labels that are being printed via Batik's PrintTranscoder. We define labels as individual SVGs and position them as embedded SVGs on a layout SVG which exactly has the dimensions of a DIN A4 page. Problems with current Batik: (1) The PrintTranscoder _always_ centers the SVG on the page (thus disregarding the MARGIN_LEFT and MARGIN_TOP settings provided by the user). (2) The PrintTranscoder _always_ scales the SVG, either to max out the paper size or by using the PIXEL_UNIT_TO_MM key. Since we define _exactly_ where we want to print on the page it is undesirable in our situation that the PrintTranscoder does not follow our margin settings and in addition scales the image. This results in a printout that is different from the layout SVG. Solution: I consider (1) a bug and propose the patch attached as "margin.diff" (in diff -u format) I consider (2) merely an annoyance and thus propose to introduce a new boolean key DISALLOW_SCALING which skips the scaling alltogether. I attached the patch as "scaling.diff" (in diff -u format). I'm very interested in your opinion, please let me know if something is wrong with the patches. Thanks, -Maik
