True, but with respect to text nodes, that mapping is a little different:
Suppose I have the SVG code:
<text>
blahblahblah
<tspan style="font-size:20">BIG!</tspan>
blahblah
</text>
In the DOM, then, you have an SVGTextElement node, along with a #text
node, the tspan (with its child #text), and another #text.
But when Batik bridges that to GVT, it creates a single TextNode for the
whole <text> element, with an AttributedCharacterIterator which keeps
track of the font size et. al. It also keeps a list of TextRuns, which
correspond (essentially) to the three chunks of text.
If I'm starting with the SVGElement and trying to trace that to the
appropriate TextNode, this isn't a big problem. But if I'm starting with
the TextNode and trying to trace it to the Element for the inner "Big!", I
get stuck. If there is a way to follow the TextNode or TextRuns to the
appropriate tspan, tpath, etc., I haven't found it (if you know, I'd love
to hear of it :-).
Thank you for your help. I do appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Bob
