Hi Robby,
I use a combination of
- XSP database queries
- dynamic SVG generation using the MSXMLDOM and Javascript.
I generally find it easier to write scripts than to use XSL for the SVG generation.
For example the function below will load XSP data to a template SVG:
---------------------------------------
function addCentroids()
{
var xml1 = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); xml1.async = false;
datapage="http://10.0.0.27:8080/cocoon/mod06001/content/page5.xsp";;
xml1.load(datapage);
dataNodes = xml1.getElementsByTagName("zone");
//
var svgdoc=document.svgMap1.getSVGDocument();
var svgRoot=svgdoc.documentElement;
newGroup=svgdoc.createElement("g");
newGroup.setAttribute("id","centroids");
newGroup.setAttribute("class","centroid");
svgRoot.appendChild(svgdoc.createTextNode("\n"));
for (i=0; i<dataNodes.length; i++)
{
newGroup.appendChild(svgdoc.createTextNode("\n"));
newCentroid=svgdoc.createElement("circle");
newCentroid.setAttribute("id",dataNodes.item(i).getAttribute("id"));
newCentroid.setAttribute("cx",dataNodes.item(i).getAttribute("cx"));
newCentroid.setAttribute("cy",dataNodes.item(i).getAttribute("cy"));
newCentroid.setAttribute("r","5");
newGroup.appendChild(newCentroid);
}
svgRoot.appendChild(newGroup);
svgRoot.appendChild(svgdoc.createTextNode("\n"));
}

Subject: Dynamic SVG creation
Hi,
I have already experimented with SVG for dynamically creating images and
graphs. At the moment i write a servlet (xsp) that generates (dynamically)
an XML-file which I use as input for the appropiate stylesheet (xsl) to
generate an SVG file. I was wondering if that's the only way to do this and
if it's the best way. Who uses batik and how do you implement it in your
portal?
