Supported SVG 1.2 features

This page lists the SVG 1.2 features that are supported by the code in the Batik SVN repository. Nightly builds are available here.

• XML Binding Language for SVG (sXBL)
  sXBL is supported with the following restrictions:
  
  • XBL cannot be used for SVG resources or visual effects.
  • The traitDef element is not implemented.
  • The handling of CSS is probably not exactly correct.
    Two content selector languages are supported: XPath 1.0 Patterns and the drastically reduced XPath subset.
    XPath Patterns is the default language. To change the language used to the XPath subset, put an attribute
    batik:selectorLanguage="XPath'_*Subset" on the xbl:content element or on the svg document element.
    (The batik extension namespace should be declared with xmlns:batik="http://xml.apache.org/batik/ext".)
    
• *Flowing text and graphics_' Though the syntax for this is likely to change.
  
• The solidColor element
  
• Alternative content based on display resolution
  
• The handler element
  
• Script running in resource documents
  
• DOM Level 3 support
  Core, Events and XPath.
  
• Wheel event
  
• Notification of shape modification
  The RenderedBBox'_*Changed event does not have the boundingBox property, though.
  
• *Global interface_'
  Only startMouseCapture and stopMouseCapture so far.
