Hi,
if you use a SVG toolkit like Batik you can use "onload" scripts and use the
DOM to adjust
the boxes according to the bounding boxes of the text. the batik-rasterizer can
output
jpeg, png, tiff and pdf.
I use this succesfully for generating maps where I use a ECMAScript based label
place
Thanks for the tips.
This is basically the workaround I have but unfortunately it's simply not good
enough. The library I was contemplating an SVG backend for is JpGraph which
is a PHP (an unholy mix of C/C++ and Java) server side graph generating
library that I written. It has quite a lot of a
Hi Johan,
First question for you is what library are you using to generate the
SVG? Are you using a purpose built SVG library such as Batik or a
generic XML library such as MSXML? If the former, then you will need
to read the literature on Batik. If the latter then read on.
I use statically ge
Pardon me for butting in, but have you tried to render serverside using Batik,
gtk2, or librsvg?
Admittedly, text bounding boxes are a thorny problem with serverside
generation. My own Perl SVG library totally ignores the canvas and leaves it
to the implementer to use their own canvas-model-pr
Hi,
Well, I do understand that not everyones taste can be catered for in a
specification and I do realize that you can ask for the bbox in a DOM script
(in the viewers that support this). But for basic entities like text, which I
think most people can agree on is needed most of the time even in

Thanks for the replies.
The example with the rectangle was just to illustrate my point. What I need is
in general knowledge of the size of text strings in order to adjust all kinds
of objects on the canvas and the general layout based on the actual text
strings.
The library I was planning to a
Hi,
there is a probably ugly workaround:
some elements accept "objectBoundingBox" as units. This includes pattern,
clipPath, mask
and filters.
You could e.g. use a filter to add such a background rectangle to a text
element.
