I've been playing with J2D for a few weeks and Batik for a few days and
this is what I'm trying to do and not succeeding. The root of the problem
is I've got a SVGGraphics2D object with objects already drawn in it and I
want to get it drawn to the screen. The branches of the problem are that
I have other things I want to draw on the screen as well, so I can't
simply call paintComponent(mySVG2D). Here's the pseudo code:
// Store my objects
fillSVG () {
mySVG2D.setColor(color.Red);
mySVG2D.draw(myRect);
}
paintComponent (Graphics g) {
// Cast
g2_paint = (Graphics2D) g;
// fill in custom background (current just one color but could be a tile
or custom Paint)
g2_biBackground = bi_background.createGraphics();
g2_biBackground.setColor(getBackground());
g2_biBackground.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
g2_biBackground.dispose();
// Draw the background
g2_paint.drawImage(bi_background, 0, 0, this);
/***
Now I need to draw the objects in mySVG2D ???????????
***/
// draw the animation layer, or objects that are currently moving.
g2_paint.drawImage(bi_animation, 0, 0, this);
}
The reason I'm using SVGGraphics2D is it already stores the style data for
each object, so it's easy to change colors, remove objects, etc. outside
of the drawing function, plus I want to load and save in SVG. I can write
an SVGImageBuffer that wraps the SVGGraphics2D object in a BufferImage,
and thus draw that, but I was wondering, in general, when you've got two
Graphics objects, is there a way to combine them together?
I've looked at the slideshow demo, but I couldn't get it to work in this
context--it would only draw the very first time and would return a null
BufferedImage every time after.
