Hi Batik developers,
I've been struggling with "regard" for a while so I wanted to share a
few thoughts... :-)
1. About the setup, it seems that the information is sparse and
incomplete. I've noticed that the online documentation [1] misses
setup steps, which I've found in a mailing list thread [2] and in the
"MAINTAIN" file. I'm proposing the following:
* Add a "setup" section to the online documentation [1];
* Move the running regard instructions within the "MAINTAIN" file a
bit more towards the top. Running regard is in step 7 and is stated
that, if it fails, one should go back to step 1. Wasn't it more useful
if regard was one of the first actions?
* In the setup instructions, add a direct link to BE test suite
archive [3], as the instructions in "MAINTAIN" file point to a page
[4] where the information seems no longer available (not even in the
more specific Test Suite Overview page [5]). Should this be pointed
out to the SVG WG instead (Cameron)?
Should I try to marsh up a patch containing this? If so, should I
attach it here or create a report in the bug tracker to handle this?
2. About a few runs results, I've noticed a few relevant rendering regressions:
* samples/tests/spec/paints/linearGradientLine.svg (missing most
relevant part of rendering);
* samples/tests/spec/paints/radialGradientLine.svg (missing most
relevant part of rendering);
* samples/tests/spec/paints/gradientPoint.svg (missing most relevant
part of rendering).
Also, minor potential color matching regressions or JVM improvements
(not being familiar with color matching causes me not to tell the
difference):
* samples/tests/spec/color/colorProfile.svg (colors are quite different);
* samples/tests/spec/scripting/paintType.svg (too much red? on the
rectangle at position [2,2]);
* samples/tests/spec/masking/maskRegions.svg (too much red? on the
masked shapes);
* color-colorProf-BE-03.svg (colors are quite different in the top
right group of regtangles);
* RHints-RenderingCheck (too much red/too much green on the pattern
using bicubic resampling)
* RHints-ContextRenderingCheck (too much red/too much green on the
pattern using bicubic resampling)
Batik revision used in this test run was 761228 (the most up-to-date
as of now). I'm on Windows XP SP3 and using JDK 1.6 Update 12. The JDK
version could itself be a source of some regressions, but I'm
currently experiencing a problem with JDK 1.4 update 19:

So I've only checked that loading
"samples/tests/spec/paints/linearGradientLine.svg" in Squiggle
(build/run by JDK 1.4 update 19) also shows the same rendering result.
I may attach the "Differences" images regard generates, if it sounds useful. :-)
Best regards,
Helder
