I've been playing around, casually, with SVG and Batik for about six months now. I've done things like work through the Batik Demos and have used the Batik library with my app to view basic SVG files.
I need to learn much more now because it's becoming central to the way my app works. My app has a strong GIS dependence - using maps to navigate to content. Layering is a major feature of the app, it has a variety of image icons that you drop from a palette and place on a specific layer - you can turn individual layers ON or OFF. My app currently handles layering through a mechanism I built based upon the JLayeredPane. But I'm seeing things at some sites with SVG content that seems to imply that SVG files have an inherent layering capability. For example, the GIS demo at this site: http://www.gis-news.de/svg/samples/archeology/x02.htm shows layers control. Is that something that the WebMap viewer does on it's own by parsing the SVG XML, or does every SVG file contain layering information that a viewer can tap into and manipulate? I'd appreciate some reference material that you find useful. A google turns up thousands of hits, and many of them seem interesting, but I'd like to focus on the best way to learn SVG fundamentals.
