Simon Steiner updated BATIK-1306:
---------------------------------
Description:
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
