extending AbstractGraphics2D

[john farrow]

Hi I am writing a PDF transcoder, including extending org.apache.batik.ext.awt.g2d.AbstractGraphics2D. Using some SVG like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <svg height="200" width="500" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" zoomAndPan="magnify" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">  <circle cx='200' cy='200' r='100' stroke='red' stroke-width='3' fill="green" opacity=".1"/>  </svg> When a shape is rendered, if it has no opacity attribute then AbstractGraphics2D.drawShape is and I can render the shape to PDF ok.  But if the shape has an opacity attribute then AbstractGraphics2D.drawImage is called instead, whereas I would like to have drawShape() also called and I handle the opacity within the PDF. I have a feeling this is a configuration setting or similar, and was wondering if anyone can tell me why this happens, before I spend a day installing the source and wading through it myself.
