Apache Batik SVG Toolkit Overview

Apache Batik is a Java-based toolkit for applications or applets that want to use images in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for various purposes, such as display, generation or manipulation.

The project’s ambition is to give developers a set of modules that can be used together or individually to support specific SVG solutions.

The Batik modules are of one of three types: application modules, core modules and low level modules.

Application modules illustrate how to use the core modules and let users evaluate the Batik software by experimenting with its features. So, the application modules illustrate the functionality that Batik offers. The Batik SVG Toolkit distribution contains a few demos:

• Squiggle SVG Browser
  The Squiggle SVG Browser lets you view SVG file, zoom, pan and rotate in the content and select text items in the image and much more.
  
  
• SVG Font Converter
  The SVG Font Converter lets developers convert character ranges from the True Type Font format to the SVG Font format to embed in SVG documents. This allows SVG document to be fully self-contained and have their rendered identically on all systems.
  
  
• SVG Rasterizer
  The SVG Rasterizer is a utility that can convert SVG files to a raster format. The tool can convert individual files or sets of files, making it easy to convert entire directories of SVG files. The supported formats are JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, however the design allows new formats to be added easily. In addition (and despite the name) the rasterizer tool can also convert SVG files into PDF.
  
  
• SVG Pretty Printer
  The SVG Pretty Printer lets developers “pretty-up” their SVG files and get their tabulations and other cosmetic parameters in order. It can also be used to modify the DOCTYPE declaration on SVG files.

Core modules are the heart of Batik and the primary deliverables for the projects. These are the modules developers use to manipulate, generate, create, convert, render and view SVG content. They can be used individually or in combination for various purposes, and the application modules offer some usage examples:

• The SVG generator is a module containing SVGGraphics2D class, that lets all Java applications or applets easily convert their graphics to the SVG format, as easily as they draw to a screen or a printer, by leveraging the Java 2D API’s extensible design.
  
  
• The Swing components module includes, primarily, the JSVGCanvas class, a UI component that can display SVG content and let the user interact with that content (zoom, pan, rotate, select text, etc.).
  
  
• The Bridge module is rarely used directly. It is responsible for creating and maintaining an appropriate object corresponding to an SVG element. The bridge converts an SVG document into the internal representation Batik uses for graphics (GVT, the Graphic Vector Toolkit).
  
  
• The Transcoder is a module that provides a generic API for transcoding an input to an output. This module transcodes an input stream or a document into a particular ouput format, used for converting SVG documents to other types.

Low-level modules are used internally by the core modules to accomplish their work.
These modules are not expected to be used directly by developers using the Batik API. Rather, they support the operation of the core modules. The low level modules include:

• The Graphic Vector Toolkit (GVT) module, which represents a view of the DOM tree that is more suitable for for rendering and event handling purposes. This module describes DOM tree in terms of a tree of Java graphics objects.
  
  
• The Renderer module is responsible for rendering a GVT tree and any related task. For example, a raster based renderer may perform some caching (the default renderer in Batik does that). However, a renderer could perform any task deemed necessary and does not have to be raster based.
  
  
• The SVG parser module contains parser classes for complex SVG attributes such as the transform or color attributes. Higher level modules rely on the SVG parser module.
  

Here are small list of projects and products that using Batik SVG Toolkit:

• The Apache Cocoon project uses Batik to rasterize SVG images.
• The Apache FOP project uses Batik to handle SVG images. It uses the SVG rasterizer and extends the Batik transcoder architecture to offer SVG to PDF conversion.
• ElixirTech’s ElixirReport uses Batik for charting and for its SVG component.
• GLIPS Graffiti is an Open Source Extensible Full Feature Native SVG Editor.
• eDoc Studio, a page layout package, uses the Batik SVG generator to export pages to SVG.
• ILOG Discovery Preview, a free visual data analysis tool letting you visualize and edit data sets in a very wide variety of views (2D graphs and charts, various kinds of treemaps, parallel coordinates, parallel histograms and much more), uses the Batik SVG export module.
• The JFreeChart Project uses Batik to export charts in the SVG format.
• Lagoon, an XML-based framework for web site maintenance, uses the Batik SVG Rasterizer to render SVG as bitmap graphics for web publishing.
• ILOG JViews Component Suite, a product for advanced visualization, uses and extends the Batik SVG export module.
• Lords Map is a program to allow players and visitors to view the current map of various campaigns. Lords Map uses Batik’s SVG DOM and SVG Generator.
• Luxor XUL is a free, open-source XML User Interface Language (XUL) toolkit in Java released under the GNU GPL that supports hand-picked Mozilla XUL goodies and also includes a ultra-lightweight, multi-threaded web server, a portal engine, a scripting engine, a template engine and much more. Gerard Bauer, the Luxor project lead, has written an extensive SVG presentation.
• OptimalJ, a UML Class Diagram Editor for NetBeans, uses Batik to export SVG.
• Sketsa is a vector drawing application based on Batik. With Sketsa, you can create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution, without losing detail or clarity.
• Oracle Corp.’s JDeveloper10i uses Batik to export class diagrams in SVG. It uses the SVG export module.
• Svolgo, a Graph Visualisation/Transformation Framework for the Semantic Web Cross-model transformation, node and arc diagrams, representation in SVG. This project uses Batik’s SVG DOM implementation.
• Volity is an open platform for Internet-based multiplayer casual gaming. Its official client, Gamut, uses Batik, allowing developers to create game UI files that use ECMAScript-driven SVG.
• XWeb, a tool to create websites automatically out of XML input. Uses the Batik SVG Rasterizer.
• XML_svg2image is a PHP class which translates SVG files to PNG or JPEG using Batik.

225 million SVG enabled devices have been shipped

Ikivo and AMD claim to enrich graphics on mobile phones Based on Open standard and Imageon processor. Hoping to take advantage of the growing demand for high quality graphics on mobile devices, Ikivo has introduced a version of its accelerated vector graphics software that'll run on AMD's Imageon media processor. This solution is based on OpenVG - a royalty-free, cross-platform API that provides a low-level hardware acceleration interface for vector graphics. Ikivo's software utilises its Mobile SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) technology to improve a mobile device's ability to display high quality images.
Uses include Mobile TV, 3D games, media players and on device portals (ODPs). Ikivo is claiming that globally as many as 225 million SVG enabled devices have already been shipped.AMD is arguing that its Imageon chip can support high speed graphics whilst still requiring only low power levels – necessary for use in smartphones and other handheld devices.

Renesis SVG Player Launches Version 0.7

From press release:
"A new Release v0.7 of the Standalone and IE-Pluginable Renesis® SVG Player is out. What's special on this version is the all-in-new Font and Text Engine which supports things like Unicode, Embedded Fonts, Text Selection, Copy to Clipboard, Text-Anchoring, Font-Stretching, Text-Decorations and much much more. The perfomance of the text engine should have improved as well. Other news are many many bugfixes and improvements based on our bugtracker as well as fixing one huge issue that caused a lot of crashes on various platforms. The next release is planned for somewhere between Juli and August 2007 and will mainly be a maintenance Release that will get a completely rewritten DOM Structure (not the EcmaScript binding!). Why should you care? As of now, inserting a lot of elements (especially text nodes) causes a lot of memory overhead and speed loss. The new structure system should shorten down the used memory to as low as 30-40% for dynamic changes as well as speed up the dynamic changes by a factor of 4-10x at a minimum so stay tuned! As always, comments, thoughts and questions are always very welcome into our forum. "

Yahoo! Groups for SVG developers

There is a Yahoo! Groups for SVG developers:

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, an XML-based 2D graphics language designed by the W3C. It is a free, open standard, and is platform- and vendor-independent. SVG images can be static or animated, and can provide interactivity through script or declarative syntax. SVG is popularly used as as a rich WebApp presentation format, but also for Web-friendly scalable images. This is a mailing list for anyone who is interested in developing SVG content, or in helping others solve development problems in either the SVG format or in scripting.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Here is a small note about Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
(excerpt from the W3C, About SVG page):

SVG is a platform for two-dimensional graphics. It has two parts: an XML-based file format and a programming API for graphical applications.

Key features include shapes, text and embedded raster graphics, with many different painting styles. It supports scripting through languages such as ECMAScript and has comprehensive support for animation.

SVG is used in many business areas including Web graphics, animation, user interfaces, graphics interchange, print and hardcopy output, mobile applications and high-quality design.

SVG is a royalty-free vendor-neutral open standard developed under the W3C Process. It has strong industry support; Authors of the SVG specification include Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Canon, Corel, Ericsson, HP, IBM, Kodak, Macromedia, Microsoft, Nokia, Sharp and Sun Microsystems. SVG viewers are deployed to over 100 million desktops, and there is a broad range of support in many authoring tools.

SVG builds upon many other successful standards such as XML (SVG graphics are text-based and thus easy to create), JPEG and PNG for image formats, DOM for scripting and interactivity, SMIL for animation and CSS for styling. SVG is interoperable. The W3C release a test suite and implementation results to ensure conformance.

Adobe SVG viewer for LINUX

You can find the Linux version of Adobe SVG viewer (ASV3 Beta) on Adobe ASV download site.

Grab the Redhat Linux version. It should work in any Linux distribution. Linux is not yet a fully supported platform by the Adobe SVG team. However, they provide this beta version which did not go through quality assurance. ASV3 on Linux does not properly work in current Firefox/Mozilla versions, but should work in Konqueror and Opera.

Linux Installation Instruction:

• Download the tar.gz file and untar it in a temporary directory ("tar -zxvf adobesvg-3.01x88-linux-i386.tar.gz"). cd to the adobesvg-3.01 directory. Adobe provides an install shell script, but that usually does not work, due to the heterogenous pathes used in the various Linux distribution. You can safely delete the file "install.sh".
• As a next step copy all remaining files in this directory to your plugin directory (on my SuSE box it is "/usr/lib/browser-plugins").
• If the browser does not yet watch this directory for detecting new plugins you need to tell it. In Konqueror open "Settings" --> "Configure Konqueror" --> "Plugins" --> and edit the "Scan Folders". You can add the new directory if it is not yet listed and tell konqueror to manually scan for new plugins.
• ASV should now appear in the plugins list as "libNPSVG3.so". In Konqueror if you want to use ASV instead of KSVG you need to edit the "File Associations" in the "Configure Konqueror" panel. In the known types tree view go to "image" --> "svg+xml" go to the "Embedding" tab and check "Show file in embedded viewer". In the "Services Preference Order" list move the "Netscape plugin viewer (nsplugin)" up to the first position.
• Your Konqueror is now ready to view SVG files in ASV3.
• In Opera you need to go to "Tools" --> "Preferences" --> "Advanced" --> "Content" --> "Plug-in options" and add the path to the "Plug-in path". ASV should now be enabled in Opera.

Third-party SVG plugin for IE

Microsoft's Internet Explorer Browser (IE,MSIE) Internet Explorer does not currently (as of IE 7.0) support SVG natively, but third-party plug-ins are available - such as Adobe SVG Viewer.

There has been no firm public statement about intent to support SVG in some later version of the browser, though unofficial statements have indicated the possibility. There is support for a similar technology, VML, but this is found in no other browser.
Internet Explorer 4, 5, and 6 all understand SVG embedded with the object tag, presuming you have installed a plug-in.
