Is that possible to convert a geographic shape from a .shp file to a path in a .svg file? yes - have a look at http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/utils/shp2svg/ there are also commercial alternatives, such as mapviewsvg or FME (Safe Software) The advantage of MapViewSVG is, that it converts

2005-05-05 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi, this is probably because you use an old version of Batik/FOP. If you upgrade to the newest version it should work fine. At least it worked for me. However, it rasterizes objects with transparency. You can, however control the resolution with batik-rasterizer. I would also suggest that

Hi, if you want to do it in a cross browser/OS solution, you should use browserEval() for that purpose - see http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/browser_eval/browserEvalTest.html for an example. This example works in all major browsers and operating systems. Many other examples only work in

2005-05-27 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi, Batik does a good job in printing SVG. It can also convert SVGs to PDFs, but if you use opacity, it will/might rasterize your vector graphics that include opacity. You can set the resolution, however. Don't forget to allocate enough memory for batik. The default of 64MB memory is too small

hi, the navigation script overwrites the transform attribute of the group with the id mainMapGroup while panning. It might work if you nest another group within mainMapGroup and put your matrix transform and at that inner/nested group so it does not get overwritten. thus the structure
