Hello Denny,
no, I usually go either straight for the source or I use WebDraw to get
a starting point. Since WebDraws rendering is sometimes quite different
from Batiks interpretation I always end up writing the SVG in a text
editor :-( The SVG I use is usually rather small so it is still ok (I
just generate buttons/banners for websites).
HTH,
PeterB
PS: since this gets rather OT I propose you sent further questions in
this direction directly to me.
