Yes, but you need to set the Background color of the canvas to a fully transparent color and notify swing that the component may be partially transparent. canvas.setBackground(new Color(0,0,0,0)); canvas.setOpaque(false); > Do you foresee any problems with overlapping SVGs? No, people have done this before, keeping the Canvas's aligned tends to be the biggest problem people have. It's pretty easy if you can simply override 'setRenderingTransform' on the top canvas to update the rendering transform on the lower canvases.
