Thanks for your answer,
However my explanations must have been a little messy because my purpose is neither to extend batik with new elements
nor to define custom Paint. Therefore the ExtensionHandler subclassing seems inadequate.
I will try to be more explicit, below is the code for a Rectangle class.
public class Rectangle extends DrawableComponent {private int x;
private int y;
private int width;
private int height;
private Color color;//if null defaults to black
public Rectangle (int x, int y, int width, int height, Color color, Taggable
taggable){super(taggable);
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.color = color;
}
/**
* @see org.imgt.representation.tests.Drawable#paint()
*/
public void paint(Graphics g) {Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setPaint(color);
g2.fill(new java.awt.Rectangle(x, y, width, height));
}
}
Let's say I want to draw rectangles from an elsewhere paint:
class ElseWhere{public void paint(Graphics g){while (..){... ...
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(
X_MARGIN+X_TEXT_MARGIN+position,
Y_MARGIN+Y_TEXT_MARGIN+Y_RULER_HEIGHT,
2,
10,
getColorByFunctionality(a1.getFunctionality()),
t1 //implements taggable
);
...
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){ / Get a DOMImplementation
DOMImplementation domImpl =
GenericDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation(); // Create an instance of org.w3c.dom.Document
Document document = domImpl.createDocument(null, "svg", null); // Create an instance of the SVG Generator
SVGGraphics2D svgGenerator = new SVGGraphics2D(document); // Ask the test to render into the SVG Graphics2D implementation
Elsewhere test = new Elsewhere();
test.paint(svgGenerator);....
}
I'd like the program, when i call the paint method with an SVGGraphics2D to recurse through the paints like it normally goes on (?)
to check if the component has a taggable object associated, and if true to append its content to the SVG DOM.
This XML content is not to be rendered at all, it is only there for contextual and perhaps interaction purposes.
Thanks again if anyone has an idea
Oliver
Hi Oliver,
You want to implement an extension handler:
http://xml.apache.org/batik/extendingBatik.html#customXMLTags
You might also want to look at the code in batik.extension.svg In particular the classes:
BatikStarElement, BatikStarElementBridge, BatikDomExtension & BatikBridgeExtension.
