Problem with alignment when printing
Hi,
I am trying to print this little SVG:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200" fill="darkblue"/>
</g>
</svg>
When I am telling the printdialog to use 1cm margin each side the svg gets
scaled (aspect ratio is preserved) to fit to the page, which is ok. What
bothers me is that the square also gets centered in the vertical axis. It
is important for me that when i use 1 cm margin the square starts 1cm from
the left edge and 1 cm from the right and not 1 cm from the left and
"somewhere" from the top. Does anybody have a guess how to change the
alignment from center to northwest?
Thanks, Björn

I don't know :). As I stated above if you do use AOI it bypasses
the viewBox handling which is what is supposed to take
preserveAspectRatio into account.

I don't think this should affect things. If you are willing
to dive into the source the code that should be handling the
positioning is line 243 in the SVGAbstractTranscoder.
Also what version of Batik are you using? I seem to recall
fixing a number of bugs in this general area so it might be
worth your while to get the current CVS version and try that.

I am not using the AOI hint, why should I? As I understand the AOI hint it
can be used to
print a subarea of an SVG, but i wan´t to print the complete SVG. In the
PrintTranscoder I add
the hint SCALE_TO_PAGE to Boolean.TRUE. To explain it a bit more precise i
created those two images:
Thats how it is right now:
http://www.si-software.de/images/bs/wrong.gif
Thats how it should be:
http://www.si-software.de/images/bs/right.gif
Perhaps you another idea how to get this result?

This would need to be changed in the document (although the change
to the document can be made after the 'source' document has been
loaded.

Well, then something isn't working right ;)
Are you using the AOI hint? Rightly or wrongly (probably
wrongly) this bypasses the viewBox handling.

Do You mean to change the document itself or is there a parameter in the
PrintTranscoder?
I changed my SVG to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20010904//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd">
<svg width="200" height="200" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMin meet"
xml:space="preserve" viewbox="0 0 600 600"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<g>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200" fill="darkblue"/>
</g>
</svg>
and changed the preserveAspectRatio-Parameter several times, nothing
happened. To be sure my programm has no bug I also tried to print with
squiggle, same result, the output does not change, even though I changed
the preserveAspectRatio-Parameter.

Look at the allowed values for the "preserveAspectRatio" attribute.
In particular 'xMinYMin meet'.
