Thanks for the reply, Thomas. Unfortunately that just changed the
background from white to black, instead of allowing the blue background
of the underlying JFrame to show through. Here's my revised code, just
let me know if I'm misunderstanding anything:
=============================================================
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import org.apache.batik.swing.*;
import org.apache.batik.swing.gvt.*;
public class TransTest extends JFrame
{
public TransTest()
{
// Kill the app when the window closes.
this.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() { public void
windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) { System.exit( 0 ); } } );
// Create an SVG canvas.
JSVGCanvas svgCanvas = new JSVGCanvas();
// Make sure that the canvas isn't opaque.
svgCanvas.setBackground( new Color( 0, 0, 0 ) );
svgCanvas.setOpaque( false );
System.out.println( "isOpaque: " + svgCanvas.isOpaque() );
// Tell the canvas where to find the SVG.
svgCanvas.setURI( "file:/path/to/svg/test.svg" );
// Turn the background of the frame a bright blue so that if the
// SVG is transparent the blue will shine through.
this.getContentPane().setBackground( Color.blue );
// Add the SVG to the frame.
this.getContentPane().add( svgCanvas );
// Make the frame visible and pack it so that it can be
// displayed.
this.setVisible( true );
this.pack();
}
public static void main( String[] args )
{
TransTest transTest = new TransTest();
}
}
=============================================================
