Hi Batik dev, We are using Batik for a Swing based user interface. For performance reasons, we are considering switching to use JOGL, as it is also a powerful and fast platform for 2D graphics.
For the rest, SVG and Batik are just what we want, so the prettiest solution would be to port the Batik renderer to render to a JOGL GLCanvas or GLJPanel instead of Java2D. We can put some resources into that. I cannot find any concrete attempts, but I can not imagine that I am the first one to think of it, so I wonder if somebody else has tried something like it. - Is there anybody out there who tried? Successfully or unsuccesfully, either case is interesting. - Can anybody share some ideas as for how to create an alternative rendering engine? I imagine we will need to create an alternative GVT renderer, but as I said, I am far from being an expert here. - If it turns out to be feasible, is anybody else interested (and willing to help out)? If it works out, I think it can be a very useful addition for Batik in general. regards, Frank
