I'm using Batik directly in a Java program to create charts and graphs via SVG and transcoding them into PNG files. However, one of the problems I constantly face is how to determine the exact size of a text string. For instance, when drawing a legend, I need to know the size of the legend in order to properly size the graph next to it.

How do I solve this problem? Is there a way to do it directly in SVG? Is there an API in Batik that I can call to get the width of a string in a given font and size?

Any help would be much appreciated!
