Thank you a lot for this rapid answer, Dominik! The whole thing IS a mix of smil and custom scripting, but I hesitate to replace all animateTransform, animateColor etc. with scripts ...
BUT: Would general scripting enhance performance somehow (both using JSVGCanvas or a browser)? I wouldn't need batik if the svg would not take such a looooong time to load (everywhere), is that due to the many many smil animation elements of which I just call two or three per request? The reason I came to batik was to put everything into an applet, such that the graphic will load only once and the applet is communicting with the servlet and triggering animations, instead of reloading each time and animating onload. There was a another possibility with IE to trigger animations across frames and documents, but .... IE ;-) Thanks again and greetings! sonja Am Montag, den 05.09.2005, 13:04 +0200 schrieb Steiner, Dominik: > Hi Sonja, > > as far as I know Batik doesn't yet support animation... > > 'Batik currently does not support SMIL animation.
