I guess this is a Bug Report The subject pretty much explains it all. Using Sun JDK 6u20, and batik checked out from the SVN repository, I use Rasterizer (actually RasterizerTask, but it calls Rasterizer, and I could reproduce it with Rasterizer if desired) on an SVG to generate a PNG. The PNG has 2 additional empty IDAT chunks immediately prior to the IEND chunk. These chunks cause the PNG to be erroneous (and thus not display) in certain programs, such as IE7, as well as Java programs that try to display the image (especially, as is my case, if attempting to use it as a Splash Screen).
A sample SVG which may be used to reproduce this problem: http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/LateralGM/LateralGM/trunk/org/lateralgm/main/lgm-splash.svg Please do let me know if/when this has been fixed. I use RasterizerTask to automate the creation of my splash screen for my program while the program is being compiled and built for release, and since Batik's been generating these two extra IDAT chunks, my program runs without a splash screen.
