AW: AW: AW: Batik and SVG for displaying multiple graphical Objec
ts.. .
OK now it is clear.
BATIK is the right think to solve your task.
Than all comments from Vincent are correct and the best way to create and remove elements is manipulating the DOM in the update manager.
You can retrieve this from JSVGCanvas methode
getUpdateManager().getUpdateRunnableQueue().invokeLater(yourDOMUpdateRunnable);
here is an code snippet---------------
canvas.getUpdateManager().getUpdateRunnableQueue().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Element rectangle = document.createElementNS(svgNS, "rect");
rectangle.setAttributeNS(null, "x", String.valueOf(x));
rectangle.setAttributeNS(null, "y", String.valueOf(y));
rectangle.setAttributeNS(null, "width", String.valueOf(ddx));
rectangle.setAttributeNS(null, "height", String.valueOf(ddy));
rectangle.setAttributeNS(null, "style", "fill:white; stroke:black");
svgRoot.appendChild(rectangle);
} //run
});
---------------------------------
This is an example to create an rectangle.

Betreff: Re: AW: AW: Batik and SVG for displaying multiple graphical
Objects.. .
OK Sorry for causing this confusion. I'll try again but to do so I'll
better describe my whole application (real stand alone application not a
web application):
Imagine I have a stream of Objects (not grapical Objects) let's call
them "Events". These Events are to be represented as graphical Objects,
let's call these graphical Objects "Representation".
So every "Event" get's assigned exactly one "Representation". I want to
specify these "Representations" as SVG. Lets say all Events "A" should
be displayed as a Representation "blue filled rectangle" ("BFR"), and
all Events "B" as "red filled circles" ("RFC")
So what happens: I have a screen - call it "Monitor". The Monitor should
display all different "Representations".
So assume I have a Event stream consisting of the Events:
A A B A B
We know As should be represented as BFRs and Bs should be displayed as
RFCs somewhere on the Monitor for some time and then disapear again.
So let's read "A", generate a SVG "BFR" and display this graphic
somewhere on the "Monitor", then read the next "A" generate a SVG "BFR"
and display it somewhere else on the Monitor, read Event "B" generate
SVG "RFC", and display it, meanwhile the Event "A" has "timed out" and
we want to remove the Representation for it from the Monitor again...and
so on.
While Events happen, representations are generated and displayed and
removed again...there is a timeline that advances and the content of the
Monitor (= different Representations = single SVG) changes when time
advances.
Sorry for confusing you again, I should have described it like this before.
I hope it's a little bit easier to understand now.
Thanks,
Reinhard

getting Update Manager for JSVGCanvas...
Posted by Reinhard Brandstädter <r....@gmx.at>.
Jan suggested updating a SVGDocument displayed in a JSVGCanvas via the
UpdateManager, but now I'm struggling with getting the UpdateManager for
my canvas.
I'm new to Batik and just playing around a little bit, but the Javadoc
isn't very helpful...
How do I create a UpdateManager so that I can use it in the way
described by Jan below?
I tried something (useless as the UpdateManager returned is null) like this:
This test should only "move" the rectangle "myrect" accross the canvas (?)
------
svgCanvas.setSVGDocument(svgDoc);
svgCanvas.getUpdateManager(). \\
getUpdateRunnableQueue().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
int x=0, y=0;
for (;;) {
x = (x+1)%400;
y = (y+1)%400;
Element e = svgDoc.getElementById("myrect");
e.setAttribute("x",(new Integer(x)).toString());
e.setAttribute("y",(new Integer(y)).toString());
}
}
}
);
------
thx,
Reinhard
