No it doesn't it implies that the geometry is calculated, nothing needs to be rendered. That is typically the act of putting bits on a device, and is generally much more expensive than just calculating the bbox of content. > In general, I think that most implementations (other than Batik) do not > rerender within a function block-- but do a complete rerender of changed > portions at the end of the block when control is passed from the script. Batik maintains geometry as the DOM is manipulated, we do not 'rerender' on every change. > Which is to say that this type of problem isn't unexpected-- but you > have to be able to obtain those rendering properties on the fly.

You almost certainly need to calculate the BBox in order to render the content, so why does doing it before the rendering make it worse than during the render? ------------------------ Yahoo!
