Generate AWT shapes

[Michael Jurke <ju...@zedat.fu-berlin.de>]

Hi,

with the SVGShape utility class I can generate SVGElements from AWT shapes.
Is there also a possibility to traverse an SVGDocument, generate and 
iterate through the shapes? (and ignore other elements or rather print 
some debug info) For sure GVTTreeBuilder can be used somehow - anyone 
has an idea or examples?

And is there also a possibilty to generade a Shape from a single 
SVGElement? How and how are children handled?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks a lot
Michael

        This is the primary purpose of the entire Bridge and GVT packages
in Batik.  You can take a look at the 'Boot SVG and CSS DOM' on the wiki:
        http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-batik/BootSvgAndCssDom

        Simple SVG shapes become a ShapeNode in the GVT, groups become
a CompositeGraphicsNode.  You can walk that tree and do whatever you
want.

        Such a simple approach will miss things like 'filters', the
semantics of 'use' elements, 'image' elements, etc.  Also of course
dynamic content.

        Good luck.
