Hello, I'm developing a java web application which generates svg using Batik's SVG DOM library. Therefore I need to get the width of text elements to wrap text dynamically while generating the svg document. The problem is that when I try to get the bounding box of a text element a NullPointerException is thrown.
Here is the part of my source code which throws the exception: ... if (textElement instanceof SVGLocatable) { SVGRect bbox = ((SVGLocatable)textElement).getBBox(); System.out.println(bbox.getWidth()); // <-- exception } ... Here is the interesting part of the thrown exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGLocatableSupport$1.getWidth(Unknown Source) .... Any help and suggestions to solve the problem is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Stefan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
