which API?
Simple question: if I want to output (SVG) grahics from Java, using Batik,
which API should I use? What is the "user-friendliest" API? Probably not DOM
tree? :-)
An overview of the different packages would be extremely helpful... for
example, what does GVT stand for? And what is it used for?
Maybe there is something like the GLF, etc (Vincent should know what is GLF
:-))?

org.apache.batik.svggen.SVGGraphics2D
which is described at:

See:

Yes, you are right and I see you've been doing some reading :-), GVT
has similarities with GLF , but there are also some core differences
(e.g., text is much more sophisticated in GVT, there was a notion of
Position in GLF and there is not equivalent in GVT etc...).
