Thank Helder, that's very helpful, except getBBox doesn't seem to be an
available method.
Here's a snippet of my code (this is in Java, using Batik)
NodeList nl = document.getElementsByTagName("path");
for(int i = 1; i < nl.getLength(); i++){
Element elem = (Element) nl.item(i);
}
I thought I'd be able to call getBBox on the Element here. Sorry for the
simple question, but I'm new to this and I can't seem to get my head around
the Batik docs yet.
