             Summary: Feature Request: Alignment-baseline and dominant-baseline 
support
                 Key: BATIK-1306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1306
             Project: Batik
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Dhom Bios


Alignment-baseline and dominant-baseline attributes are quite useful for 
ensuring that several text elements are top aligned when the svg is created 
programmatically, yet Apache Batik does not support them. Even though, there 
are alternatives like using the dy attribute to obtain a similar effect, they 
are usually font and size dependant.

As a consequence, this forces the use of a trial-error approach for adjusting 
complex layouts requiring a significant amount of time that could be avoided by 
using those attributes to align the text elements to the top of their 
container. Therefore, projects like Jasper Reports, which uses this library for 
rendering SVGs generated from javascript 
(https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/issues/191#issuecomment-847070399),
 would highly benefit from the obtained simplification
