SVG Draw Tools?

I need to include some basic draw tools in our app - very much like Adobe's
"SVG Draw" demo. In fact, theirs would work perfect for our needs, but I
doubt they'd license it to us.

I need draw tools for two types of clients: Web (like Adobe's) and Swing.
Have you seen any tools out there for drawing that we could plug into our
app?

Thanks,

--BobC

Hi Andres,

I sent a response to your onemileup.com email address... hope that got
through.

Bob:

I am currently developing a toolset just like that. It is a
Java-Batik-Swing solution, with a set of pluggable tools. The
application objectives:
- a SVG drawing tool to be plugged into other applications.
- a Toolset design to allow for pluggable tools, styles and actions.

The objective of this application is to provide simple authoring tools
for other SVG applications.
The application is already working, and I am implementing new features.

It features:
    SELECT:
          Select, Rotate, Scale, Move

    DRAW:
          rect, ellipse, line, path

    STYLE
          fill, Stroke, stroke-width

    CANVAS:
          Zoom in-out (for the moment using only JSVGCanvas interactors)
          Pan (in a JSVGScrollPane)

The application is not jet in production mode. We have a plan to provide
a comunity version of this application. Still unsure of the method for
doing so.

Also, I have refactored the Adobe´s "SVG Draw" application into a tool
that offers almost all the same functionality as this SVG application,
but with a couple of enhancements:
    - The ECMAscript has been modularized, so the tools can be pluggable.
    - The Tools have been placed into a toolbar  floating pallette.
    - The application has been made to be able to run in the following
browsers: Batik (Squigle and JSVGCanvas), Adobe SVG Viewer v3.0.x, Adobe
SVG Viewer 6.0 Beta, and has been tested in: Windows: IE6, Firefox 1,
Netscape 7.1; Mac OS X: IE, Safari, FireFox and Netscape.

We may be able to work something out.

Thank you Tonny! I'm going to see what Andres has first, since it seems more
inline with our needs.

For Swing SVG draw, you might check out Sketsa SVG Graphics Editor.
It is available at http://www.kiyut.com/products/sketsa/index.html

Michel Hirtzler did a SVG based drawing tool, that is a lot better than
Adobes tool (which is quite old):
http://pilat.free.fr/dessin_loc/draw.svg

Unfortunately he did not write the code to make it work with Batik (or
ran into compatibility problems?), but I guess with a little more work
he could make it work in Batik as well. At least the parts you are
interested in. You can contact Michel if he is interested in collaborating.

Alternatively, if you only need it in Batik you can create a drawing app
with the help of Java.
