In what coordinate system? In the screen coordinate system it's
the components location and size - both easily obtainable from
Swing ;) So I presume you mean somewhere inside your SVG document.

You probably want to look at things like 'getScreenCTM' which will
give you the transform to the screen coordinate system. Paired with
'getViewPort()' you will have the information needed to calculate this.

You can use the intersection method or just do the simple check on
the BBox of the text (you may need to use the getTransformToElement
method to transform your BBOX to for example the root SVG element's
user coordinate space).

Maik, check out the "Drag" example in the SVG wiki. It uses the CTM to get
the inverse transformation as part of what it does. Your question suggests
you don't understand how matrix multiplication is used to convert from SVG
coordinates to screen (window) coordinates. In an abstract schematic form,
it looks like this ...
screen-coords = CTM * SVG-coords
so
screen-coords * (1/CTM) = SVG-coords
and 1/CTM is the matrix inverse of the CTM matrix. With this matrix, you
can figure out what the SVG coordinates are of the screen coordinate
(0,0), and similarly find the other corner. Those two points (in SVG
coords) should be the points you're looking for. Make sense?

I correct my self - of course it would be more elegant to call the
.inverse() method only once.
The code would read then:
var coordx = evt.clientX;
var coordy = evt.clientY;
//these coordinates are screen pixels
var matrix=document.documentElement.getScreenCTM().inverse();
//matrix now holds scale/rotation/translate/skew values for both x and y
var coordVBx = matrix.a*coordx+matrix.c*coordy+matrix.e;
var coordVBy = matrix..b*coordx+matrix.d*coordy+matrix.f;
//coordVBx and y are now in the coordinate system of the root elements
viewBox coordinate system

Maik - I did not follow the whole thread, I don't know exactly what you
want to do. But I can explain the screen CTM:
CTM stands for "current transform matrix" and holds scaling, rotation
and translation values. It is a 3x3 matrix, but only the first two rows
are relevant. Have a look at
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#EstablishingANewUserSpace
you can call the method ".getScreenCTM()" on the root element (equals
to documentElement) as follows. Subsequently if you want to transform
the screen coordinates (which you receive e.g. by the evt.clientX and
evt.clientY properties) to the viewBox coordinate system of your root
element you can use the following code:
var coordx = evt.clientX;
var coordy = evt.clientY;
//these coordinates are screen pixels
var matrix=document.documentElement.getScreenCTM();
//matrix now holds scale/rotation/translate/skew values for both x and y
var coordVBx = matrix.inverse().a*coordx+matrix.inverse().c*coordy+matrix.inverse().e;
var coordVBy = matrix.inverse().b*coordx+matrix.inverse().d*coordy+matrix.inverse().f;
//coordVBx and y are now in the coordinate system of the root elements viewBox coordinate system
see http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords.html#EstablishingANewUserSpace to see what the matrix values a to f mean.
Good luck,
Andreas

I don't understand that
what is "the inverse of the screen CTM" ?

No you want to convert _from_ screen coordinates.

It is correct because the viewPort is (at least for the canvas) in
screen coordinates. So unless you resize the canvas it should stay the
same when you zoom/pan. But the screen CTM will change for the SVG
element.

Simply transform the viewPort to the outermost SVG element's
coordinate system by using the inverse of the screen CTM for the
outermost SVG element.

Hi Thomas,
I have not found a solution for my problem up to now.
>In what coordinate system?
in SVG document coordinate system
further in text I mean with 'coordinates' always the SVG document
coordinate system

when I debug the viewPort of the rootElement I always get X/Y = 0/0 and
width and height of the current canvas - independ on viewing the
complete document or zoomed in a part of it !? Is this correct or did I
something wrong ?
When I zoomed in, I expected to found X/Y > 0 and width/height smaller
than my documents width/height...
I try to describe my problem by an example:
- my SVG is 2000x1000px
- I zoomed in, so now I see a part of the document starting on
600px/200px, 1000px wide and 500px high
- now I want to get these values: 600, 200, 1000 and 500, to know what
is the currently visible part of the document...
(all coordinates in SVG document coordinate system)
Thanks in advance for help and ideas
