One thing to look out for is that the beginning of the xlink:href section with the base64-encoded data can't have a line break in it (that is, the first line break should be the one *after* the first line of encoded data).

The best place to look for this info is the batik "status" page: http://xml.apache.org/batik/status.html If you download the BE-test suite and compare the svg contents with the status page you will see exactly which features are known to work in Batik. Batik's coverage of static SVG features is excellent at this time, so if something fails to work then it is probably either a bug or operator error :-) Of course SVG files can have bugs as well, and in some cases there may be files that are technically in error which still display in other SVG viewers. > Thanks in advance. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -------------- Bill Haneman Gnome Accessibility / Batik SVG Toolkit Sun Microsystems Ireland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
