fo:basic-link on svg image

[Saif Khaja]

Hi,
I was trying to set a link on one of the svg images to point out to a 
bookmark id set on the pdf page. Has anyone tried this before.

It works fine for text data. For example,
fo:basic-link internal-destination=mark1
  Testing link
/fo:basic-link
For svg images, this doesnt work however. The following lines will not even 
display the svg rectangle image.

fo:basic-link internal-destination=mark1
  svg:rect x=100 y=100 width=100 height=200/
fo:basic-link
Referring to svg examples, links in svg use a, which apparently works for 
a standalone svg image, but doesnt work in fop.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Saif.

I have SVG working in FOP, and it works great (except some minor issues, 
which is out of scope of this mail here). And I didnt post the complete svg 
code in my previous mail.

Here it is what I was trying to achieve. Each rect in this svg image would 
point to a different bookmark in the same PDF document (as shown in comments 
in the svg code).

!--  SVG code = --
fo:block xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format;
fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg;
svg:svg width=600 height=400
svg:rect x=20 y=20 width=100 height=200
style=stroke:rgb(0,0,0);stroke-width:1/
!-- This RECT links to book mark - 1 --
svg:rect x=15 y=30 width=110 height=50
style=stroke:rgb(0,0,0);stroke-width:1;fill:rgb(60,237,248)/
!-- This RECT links to book mark - 2 --
svg:rect x=15 y=90 width=110 height=50
style=stroke:rgb(0,0,0);stroke-width:1;fill:rgb(60,237,248)/
!-- This RECT links to book mark - 3 --
svg:rect x=15 y=150 width=110 height=50
style=stroke:rgb(0,0,0);stroke-width:1;fill:rgb(60,237,248)/
svg:text x=75 y=50 
style=fill:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:10;font-family:Andale MonoLTUE/svg:text

/svg:svg
/fo:instream-foreign-object
/fo:block
Now, is there any way I can provide links (either external or internal) to 
an SVG image inside a pdf document.

Thanks,
Saif.

If you want to embed SVG data into a FO document, you have
to use a fo:instream-foreign-object.
Furthermore, i vaguely remember that you need a top level
svg:svg element.
Therefore, try:
   fo:instream-foreign-object
 svg:svg width=10mm height=20mm viewBox=0 0 101 201
  svg:rect x=0 y=0 width=100 height=200/
 /svg:svg
   /fo:instream-foreign-object
I think it would be a good idea to try the embedded SVG
code in a SVG viewer first in order to see whether it works
and embed it only after you got it working. It may still be
tricky to manage the window/viewport issues, documentation
is very scarce.
Assistance to get your SVG working is more likely to be found
on other lists. If you use Batik as standalone viewer, you
could try batik-user.
