Thanks for the tips !
Going to try this method... never thought of that ! Martin : The following method returns null : SVGRect bb = ((SVGOMTextElement) textElement).getBBox(); From: jonathanshaww...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 11:24:11 -0400 Subject: Re: Getting a bounded box To: batik-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org I've always used: SVGRedt bbox = ((SVGLocatable)element).getBBox(); you may need to account for the transforms also....use SVGLocatable.getTransformToElement() and SVGPoint.matrixTransform() if needed On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 10:14 AM, Julien Beghin <minimoi1...@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi there, We are dealing with a matter of bounded box : First of all, we are defining a link via the "use" tag like following : <use transform="translate(180,-325)" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#6b0e597d-917e-4534-bb96-178a151a146c" xlink:type="simple" xlink:actuate="onLoad" id="INSTANCE_6b0e597d-917e-4534-bb96-178a151a146c" xlink:show="embed" pointer-events="stroke"/> This link points towrds a group in the definition part : <g id="6b0e597d-917e-4534-bb96-178a151a146c" cursor="pointer" transform="scale(1.00,-1.00)" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-linecap="round"> <desc>0LHT026VE</desc> <text style="text-anchor:middle;font-size:2.50000pt;font-family:monotxt" transform="translate(0.00000,-2.50000) scale(1,-1) rotate(-0.00000) scale(1.00000,1)"> <tspan dx="0" dy="2.5" fill="rgb(0,0,0)" x="0" xml:space="preserve" stroke="rgb(0,0,0)">026VE</tspan> </text> <path fill="none" d="M -2.5 -1.5 L -2.5 1.5 L 2.5 -1.5 L 2.5 1.5" stroke-dasharray="1.00000,1.00000" stroke-width="0.600000" stroke="rgb(0,0,0)"/> <path fill="none" stroke-width="0.800000" stroke-dasharray="1.00000,1.00000" d="M -2.9 1.25 A 0.4 0.4 0.0 1 1 -2.1 1.25 A 0.4 0.4 0.0 1 1 -2.9 1.25" stroke="rgb(0,0,0)"/> </g> What we are wanting to do is to get the bounded box of the text element, in this group. There is no problem with getting the bounded box of the whole group, but curiously, I can't find a way to only the "text"'s bounded box Can someone help ?
