Let's say I want to draw a blue rectangle with a red border. Ideally the SVG element should look like this: <rect style="fill:blue;stroke:red"/>
I would imagine using the following code with SVGGraphics2D. svgGraphics2D.setPaint(Color.RED); svgGraphics2D.draw(rect); svgGraphics2D.setPaint(Color.BLUE); svgGraphics2D.fill(rect); Unfortunately this code resulted in two elements: <rect style="fill:none;stroke:red"/> <rect style="fill:blue;stroke:none"/> The generated code makes sense from a Java2D perspective, but it is not optimal for SVG since it effectively doubles the footprint of the output. Does anyone know if Batik provides a way to generate the optimal single element syntax? It sounds like I need to extend my own SVGGraphics2D to associate a shape instance to a cached element instance and set the fill/stroke manually based on the drawing commands. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: batik-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: batik-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
