GIF Images embedded using data:

I'm having trouble with an image embedded inside an SVG. The image data
itself is inside the xlink:href attribute, e.g.

xlink:href="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhjACMAMQAAP///wAA

etc.

The image isn't displayed. Instead I see the Squiggle logo. Is the data:
protocol supported by Batik?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the reply. At least I know there isnt a problem in my code now.
Can I request that Batik issues a warning message when it encounters things
it can't handle? It saves hours of searching for a resolution.

Thanks,

Chris


Hi Chris,

    The real problem is the use of GIF (which isn't required to be 
supported by an
SVG implementation).  The decoding of GIF is handled by the Java Platform 
and
due to a quirk in the way the platform provides the functionality it 
was/is difficult to
use that functionality for Data protocol, so we don't.

     If you switch to PNG/JPEG this will work fine.
