document object

["Ai, Larry" <la...@cas.org>]

All:

 

    I used batik API to convert my image to SVG format and then include that image in the pdf document.

 

    There are two approaches:

 

1)       draw the image and use SVGGraphics2D.stream(..) to output the image in SVG in a temp file

then in the xsl file, I would say:

 

<xsl:apply-templates select="document('temp.xml')"/>

    

         This approach works fine but I don't want to create a lot of temp files. 

 

2)       I will let the batik method to return a Document object and in my xls file I will say:

 

<xsl:apply-templates select="document(document object)"/>

 

In my batik method, 

 

          document = domImpl.createDocument(null, "svg", null);                   

          g2d = new SVGGraphics2D(document);

 image.paint(g2d);

return document;

 

I assume that the document object will hold the entire tree of the SVG representation of the image.

 

But it does not work! Anyone can provide pointers?!

 

Thanks!
