I'm still very much interested in keeping things within java. From what I understand, after the svg is parsed, an ExtendedGeneralPath is generated that holds all parts of an svg. I haven't been able to figure a good number of things: (1) how is the path generated, and is there only 1 such path for the entire svg? (2) What iterates over the path to create the awt shapes (shapepainter?)? (3) What actually draws the shapes on the canvas.
Ideally, I'd like to have access to the generated awt shapes right before they are drawn. I actually want to try rendering them in Eclipse's SWT, so I would like to establish a mapping of sorts, and rather then having the generated awt shapes drawn on a awt/swing canvas, generate my own set of shapes and drawn them on an draw2d shell. Naturally, I'd like batik to do as much work as possible, with my code only "redirecting" where the shapes are drawn. |eg| -----Original Message----- From: Thomas DeWeese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 11:36 AM To: Batik Users Subject: Re: Cutting out awt Grinvald, Edward wrote: > I am trying to use batik's fascilities for parsing and rendering on a > graphic platform other then awt/swing.

These render to an offscreen image (a large array of ints one for each pixel). This would be an excellent source of data for generating some forms of ASCII art. However this still uses java.awt - but I suspect you are referring to the GUI display parts of awt. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
