Just so you can see what I'm talking about, I've attached the source SVG image as well as the converted PNGs. You can clearly see that the image created with Batik is distorted for some reason, whereas the image created via ImageMagick looks great.
I have Batik 1.5.1 (on Windows 2000) and I used the following command to
create the 'test-batik.png' image:
"java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar Fire_Station_S2.svg"
Any ideas as to why the quality of the png is so poor using Batik verses
ImageMagick? I would prefer to use Batik if possible.....
