viewBox
Hi folks,
I see from the demo examples that viewBox seems to be doing something -
but I was hoping to use it to clip some SVG objects and it doesn't seem to work
(or do what I expected).
Can anyone say whether it is working correctly ?
I asked a similar question a couple of months ago and Aaron said he had submitted
a patch for viewBox... Has it been committed?

The bigger problem is scaling :-) I have yet to find a way to make
the same SVG look the same in Batik and FOP :-( The biggest
problem is that FOP doesn't support the viewBox attribute. I've
created a patch and posted it but it didn't show up in the CVS,
yet.
Without this, you cannot specify which part of the SVG should
show up where (ie. you will not see the correct portion
of the SVG and you won't get the correct size).
Question: What base unit is FOP using when I don't specify one ?
Ie. how large will this rectangle be ?
<svg width="5cm" height="5cm">
<g>
<rect x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10"/>
</g>
</svg>

Now it's committed. It seems to work with my dia sequence diagram!

Almost all of the patches were committed except ONE. the patch for SVG.java
without it the viewbox does not do a thing!
Hope anybody can commit it, so everybody can enjoy svg in fop.

Re: viewBox

Hi Alex,
I can't remember if Aaron's patch was every committed. But I was trying
to import SVG generated by the "dia" tool and the viewBox it is using
isn't working right. From a quick look at the SVGRenderer code, I'd say
the current implementation is quite partial. However, as I understand it
(which could easily be wrong, as I'm quite a novice at SVG) viewBox on
the top level svg element defines a kind of automatic transformation
(scaling, translation). It doesn't really seem designed for clipping,
although I guess if the svg coordinates are outside the viewbox, it
should probably clip too.
HTH,
Karen
