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 avaiable 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="XPathSubset" 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 RenderedBBoxChanged event does not have the boundingBox property, though.

• Global interface

  Only startMouseCapture and stopMouseCapture so far.
