shape editing toolkit

[Andres Toussaint <an...@onemileup.com>]

Hello all in the Batik Comunity.

I am in the need to develop a simple shape editing tool for the app i am 
doing. Allow me to explain:
I have a basic canvas into which i add items do design a layout. This 
canvas is not square in shape. I provide normally the SVG file for this 
canvas, and the editing tool is for the following:

- Some times the user will want to modify the dimensions of the canvas 
shape (overall or a single piece), or add some other deformation to the 
canvas. (as an example: imagine the canvas as a state map, but some may 
want to add the neighboring country to the same canvas, and some may 
want to remove all the peninsulas.) My canvas are basically simple 
geometric shapes, all have the same fill, and simple 1pt stroke, and the 
functionality i want to give is to add and remove simple geometric 
shapes (rect, oval, polyline) and to modify the existing objects by 
draging the object´s vertices.

Has anybody out there developed editing routines that allow to modify 
the SVG shape shown in the JSVGCanvas (simple geometric shapes, no need 
for complex fills, layers, etc..) or located some project that does 
this? If not, anybody interested in colaborating in this project? The 
closest i have found is the "magelan" project hosted in Sourceforge, but 
does not do SVG editing.

Thanks in advance,
Andres.
