What's the best way to get an SVG loaded so I can draw it to a buffered image? I basically want to load an SVG and turn it into a raster icon. I'm trying to use JSVGComponent but the loading is so multithreaded I can't figure it out at all. Just trying to listen does nothing - I wait forever for a loaded event. It seems similar to the annoying Java default image loading behavior where it incrementally loads images - great for web-like incremental drawing effects, but annoying if you just want to load an image, right now, no questions. I think it might be waiting on something - a paint() command or similar - to actually load - lazy loading, in other words. As far as I know the JSVGCanvas is really for viewing the document. This means it also sets up a bunch of event handlers and threads. This is the sort of code that you need (without error handling and other things). GVTBuilder builder = new GVTBuilder(); BridgeContext ctx = new BridgeContext(userAgent); GraphicsNode root = builder.build(ctx, doc); float w = (float)ctx.getDocumentSize().getWidth(); float h = (float)ctx.getDocumentSize().getHeight(); Graphics2D graphics = create graphic from buffered image... root.paint(graphics); - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Structure Handlers - RTF Renderer
Hi, I have had a look at the structure handling concept in particular with reference to the rtf renderer. The idea is to use a structure handler class that is available to the FO tree and replaces the current position of the StreamRenderer. This structure handler will have a number of methods for the start and end of elements like block, table, list item etc. and others for external graphic etc. It will pass appropriate information mostly the current fo object. This should make it possible for the rtf handler to get the appropriate information from the FO tree during the creation of the FO tree. Currently the StreamRenderer does a very limited version with start, end document and end page sequence. This could become a subclass of the structure handler where it will only use a few methods (probably should rename it to RenderHandler). This should also help us to improve the normal rendering process as well. Does this sound like a suitable approach? Will it make the rtf rendering possible (Bertrand?)?

eps preview - question
Hi all I've a little(?) problem on previewing eps graphics in an awt-rendered window. I know that acrobat reader doesn't preview emebedded postscript. But have I misunderstood, I thought fop does the preview on screen!? I'm using 'external-graphic' for that. My rendered page does preserve the space correct for the picture but it doesn't show everything of the picture. I need this preview to give the user the possibility to cancel the printerjob before printing. Has anyone an idea what is going wrong or a way to do it?

West wrote: The full range of what I want to do with versioning I am not sure of; the minimum I am sure of. I canvassed this a short time ago. That is, to eliminate the situation where the identification of a build depends on manual intervention in the build.xml file which may or may not match a tag in the CVS tree, which may or may not correspond to the full set of files in the release. I am astonished that this situation is tolerated, although I should not be astonished to be told that it is the general condition of Ant-based builds. Considering that *every* project has a version you would think there is a standard and robust way of handling this. Ant is a cross-platform (by virtue of Java and XML) makefile system, basically, optimized for Java projects. Which is not new information. Sometimes we all lose sight of the fact that that is all it is. I have yet to do anything with Ant that I couldn't have done with a standard makefile; it just happens that Ant is easier to use for complex Java projects. Ant imposes no standards for versioning or configuration management. That would be well outside the scope of the tool. What it does provide are useful tasks for simplifying whatever versioning and CM a team decides to employ. Apart from open-source use of Ant (mainly with FOP) I have used Ant in real-life for over 2 years. At one company the versioning and CM was based on IEEE, so we tailored our buildfiles to do that. There we used CVS. At my current place of employ, Hummingbird, we use Ant with VSS and our own versioning standards - our buildfiles are tailored to support _that_. And Apache projects are different yet again. I don't find it unusual or objectionable that the version information is not automated. If we did regular builds that would be a candidate for automation, certainly, but we don't (Gump does, admittedly, but _we_ don't). Finally, I think it would be reasonable to automate labelling (tagging) in conjunction with an actual release. But overall I don't think things are that bad. [ SNIP ] Let me say a few words about the CVS tree. It's not a sacred site. It has branches in order, among other things, to enable isolated development. IMHO, all individual development should take place on personal branches, unless multiple developers are closely co-ordinating attacks on particular pieces of code. Make changes, find out what others are up to, merge into your own branch from the trunk as necessary, and when you're ready, notify everyone that you want to merge back to the trunk. Do that. Find, and resolve with the other developers any merge conflicts. Abandon the branch. Throw another one and move on. This tool allows such things to happen and protects everybody's investment, so let's take advantage of it. If a branch is abandoned without ever being integrated into a release, so what? That is true. On the other hand this sort of approach does not enforce and promote community development. In practice branches are used for version and maintenance+bugfix or major changes and development occurs in the one place. For unproved concepts something like a scratchpad is used. Also this doesn't really scale with more developers. Part of the reason can be seen from the resources available to the trunk code. Gump provides a compile and project compatibility check. People can grab a nightly download to check and use the latest build (admittedly broken right now). Other developers can see the changes directly. I don't think protecting people from problems will lead to the solution of those problems. I tend to agree with Keiron on this, Peter. You're right, the CVS tree is not sacred, but the development model you advocate is not the usual one. For the reasons that Keiron states. Another good reason for branches is planned development that is out of sync with other planned development. That is, one or two developers have a major feature to work on, over a month or two, that is going to straddle a number of releases, and they simply will not have working code available during that time period, and what they are doing would actually affect functionality if it were to be in the main branch. But with this major exception I can't think of any other situations, apart from the release maintenance scenario, where a branch is really called for. Just my opinion.

Re: Embedding Example
Our application uses FOP on a seperate server and is access via an ASP page by way of SOAP (MS Soap Toolkit 2.0).
