More from the DOMViewer??

["Bishop, Michael W. CONTR J9C880" <Mi...@je.jfcom.mil>]

I just discovered the Batik gem that is the DOMViewer.  What would it
take to be able to actually edit the various attributes of each element
in the document and commit the changes back to the "real" document and
have them show in the JSVGCanvas?  It'd be nice to customize that
attribute panel.  I'd disable the "id" field for editing, pop
JColorChoosers for the color attributes, etc, etc.  Any tips?  Is there
a way to go about getting to this object to play with?

   Well all of the code for the DOM viewer is in:
        sources/org/apache/batik/util/gui/DOMViewer.java

   It is a pretty nice tool.

    Just download the Batik source, and have fun.  IIRC the
DOMViewer was written fairly simply mindedly so it might not be real
easy to extend but that also means it's a fairly simple piece of code 
so it's pretty easy to start working on.
