Rendering attributed text.
Hi,
I am trying to write out out underlined text using 1.0 of Batik. I am useing the
following API to write the string from SVGGraphics2D :
Graphics2D.drawString(AttributedCharacterIterator, float,float);
But this doesn't work and I end up with "AttributedCharacterIterator not
supported yet" being traced on the console.
Can anybody tell me what version of Batik I would have to update to in order to
get support for this method. Or does anybody know of a good quick workaround for
doing undelined text using this version of Batik.
Thanks,
G.

Oh, okay. I just didn't want people to thinnk that Batik was generating bad XML as the rest
of the is very good. Aslong as we make sure that people know what to expect.....
Thanks,

Gerard,
I already put the patch in. I think the best option is to leave it
in and document (which I have not done yet) that it turns the result
into shape which will create rather large SVG files...
What do you think?

Thanks for your quick response, unfortunately I do not think that this would be a very
good idea for day to day use. After I sent my original email it occured to me to use
TextLayout too; but the resultant text looks awfull and the size of my svg document
went from 20kb to 400kb. It might be better to just not support these functions until
we can do it properly.
>From my exprience, using the TextLayout class doesn't give very good results at small

I will pay bugzilla a visit later on today,
Thanks again,

Gerard,
Humm..... my memory is failing me. I remember studying in great details
the correspondance between ACIs and SVG text and concluding that there
was not a complete mapping. Now, the thing I do not remember is why
not just do what the regression test
org.apache.batik.svggen.AttributedCharacterIterator
does?
I have run the regression test suite with a patch to SVGGraphics2D
doing just that (i.e., implementing drawString(ACI, x, y) and it
does not detect any regression. Therefore, I am going to commit the
fix and it will be available in CVS or in the upcoming developer
release (early next week probably).
Note, though, that this turns your text into shapes (and not SVG
text). This could be improved. If you feel this is a badly needed
extension, thanks for entering an RFE in Bugzilla.
Regards,
Vincent.
