Tool tip

[Scheit Christoph <ch...@siemens.com>]

Hello everybody!
 
I want to generate dynamically tool tips for some elements of a svg
document.
Using a group and setting a title for example works fine. But instead of
giving
the tool tips already in the svg file, I'm looking for a possibility to set
them using
the batik api (like one would do with any JComponent - setToolTipText(...)).
 
Thank's in advance,
 
Christoph

    Well assuming your document is dynamic, you should be able to
add them using the DOM:

    Element desc = document.createElementNS(svgns, "desc");
    desc.appendChild(document.createText("Some Description"));
    document.getElementById("foo").appendChild(desc);

    That said I don't know for certain if this will work, it is
possible that our title/desc analysis is done only when the
document is loaded (which would be a bug).  If it is the case
it shouldn't be a particularly hard bug to fix.
