SVGTextContent support in Flow*Element extensions
Howdy all,
I'd like to use FlowText to do text editing in Batik (for an SVG-editor
I'm writing). I notice that the Flow* elements don't implement the
SVGTextContent interface, so I was wondering: is there a way to do things
like "getCharNumAtPosition()" with the Flow elements?
Thanks!

Hrm...
I'll keep the minor modifications in mind, for later. For the moment, I'm
just using the methods out of SVGContext/SVGTextElementBridge (have a tight
deadline).
On a related note, does the TextNode auto-update after a change to a
FlowText element?
I ask because as I enter text in the editor, a dump of the SVGDocument shows
that characters have been added... yet the rendering does not change. But
when I change the text of a SVGTextElement (or one of its sub-elements) in
the same document, the rendering does get updated.
Is there some quick and easy way to fix this?
Thanks!

Well it is entirely possible that only very minor tweaks would be
needed to enable the existing SVGTextContent interface to be used
for FlowText. The underlying GVT implementation is essentially
identical (there is an additional post-processing step to wrap the
text but this should 'look' like text on a path to the text content
support code).
The FlowText bridge already subclasses from the normal Text Bridge
so 'getting started' with this shouldn't be too hard.
