02:51:37 <overlordpuppy> Is there an alternative implementation for svg2png? The firefox add on installed, but it idles on rendering frames. And it's only rendering 1 frame that's 320x240px.
03:20:48 <overlordpuppy> Has anyone ever used svg2png? I have an svg file, I load it into svg2png, then hit render. It Doesn't do anything, but then I take one of the example ones and it works fine. I'd like to find out what I'm doing wrong.
04:39:18 <lmanul> Hey guys, I have a quick question: I'm trying to flip an object (right now with transform="scale(-1,1)") without changing its position (currently it's obviously changing its x coord into -x). Is there an easy way to do that?
04:40:16 <lmanul> (Google didn't help me but if there's a page I should read to rtfm I'll be glad to do that :-) )
04:47:17 <heycam> lmanul, you'll have to translate to the origin, do the flip, then translate back
04:48:14 <heycam> if the point you want to flip around is x=100, then you'd do transform="translate(-100,0) scale(-1,1) translate(100,0)"
04:48:27 <heycam> hmm
04:49:08 <lmanul> I see, there's no way of doing that without harcoding the coordinates in the SVG right?
04:49:32 <heycam> no, there's no way to automatically determine the centre point that you want to flip around
04:49:59 <lmanul> heycam: Ok, got it, I'll hardcode the coordinates then. Thanks a lot!
04:50:04 <heycam> np
05:11:42 <lmanul> heycam: Is there a more specific channel dedicated to Java/Batik and SVG?
05:11:55 <lmanul> (Sorry to bother again)
05:18:11 <heycam> lmanul, no there isn't
05:18:22 <heycam> just here...
05:18:30 <lmanul> Ok, let me post my Batik question here then :-)
05:18:40 <lmanul> I'm trying to get the Bbox of an element,
05:18:57 <lmanul> But I'm doing this before doing any rendering (I'm actually just transcoding the SVG to a bitmap at the end)
05:19:12 <lmanul> So getBBox returns null, as expected I suppose
05:19:27 <lmanul> Should I do some kind of dummy rendering as a first step, to get the coordinates?
05:20:07 <heycam> yes you need to do that
05:20:15 <heycam> you need to "build the graphics tree"
05:20:21 <heycam> there's an example on the wiki, i think
05:20:29 <lmanul> Ok
05:20:46 <lmanul> I'll search for that, thanks again for your quick answers :-)
05:21:07 <heycam>http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-batik/BootSvgAndCssDom
05:21:07 <svg-chump_> A: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-batik/BootSvgAndCssDom from heycam
05:21:17 <lmanul> Great!
05:21:21 <heycam> so after that bulid(), then you should be able to use all of the standard SVG DOM stuff
05:21:52 <lmanul> That's really cool, looks easy
07:14:58 <[AD]Turbo> yo all
07:18:01 <ace_me> hi all !
07:18:07 <ace_me> [AD]Turbo!
07:18:11 <ace_me> svg !
07:18:18 <ace_me> JIbberJim!
07:25:37 <JIbberJim> ace_me:
07:25:43 <JIbberJim> Hi [AD]Turbo:
07:26:42 <ace_me> how are you JIbberJim ?
07:26:54 <ace_me> how's Joost going ?
07:28:08 <JIbberJim> I'm good
11:40:06 <nicomen> is it possible to include an html document in an svg document and scale it?
11:40:54 <stelt> just put a transform on a foreignObject and see
11:41:30 <stelt> should be no problem.
11:41:44 * stelt wouldn't be surprised if you find bugs to report
11:43:24 <nicomen> stelt: but from an external html page?
11:45:23 <stelt> what would an internal html page be?
11:46:07 <wito> nicomen: you could put an iframe in your foreignobject, I suppose
11:46:14 <nicomen> ah
11:48:01 <stelt> nicomen, will the result be on-line?
11:48:28 <stelt> the web needs more foreignObject examples imho
11:53:39 <nicomen> yeah
11:53:57 <nicomen> online, and needs more examples
11:54:49 <stelt> url?
11:59:06 <nicomen> ah it's offline now, just playing around
11:59:24 <stelt> ok
12:00:44 <nicomen>http://people.opera.com/nicolasm/svg/includescalehtml.svg
12:00:44 <svg-chump_> B: http://people.opera.com/nicolasm/svg/includescalehtml.svg from nicomen
12:00:49 <nicomen> doesn't seem to play that well
12:33:53 <stelt> nicomen, bug ed_work about it :-)
12:39:39 <nicomen> yeah ;)

17:47:13 <giselle> hello, i need some help
17:48:45 <wito_> giselle: Yes, you do. :)
17:49:26 <giselle> i know.. =(
17:49:53 <giselle> i'm using batik, i guess you all know it right?
17:50:56 <giselle> the thing is that I was using windows, and everything was working perfectly, but then I installed ubuntu here, and now the program runs but nothing is rendered in the canvas
17:51:12 <wito_> if you're on linux
17:51:21 <wito_> I advice using Inkscape
17:51:34 <giselle> I don't know what's going on, the svg file is there and I can open it using other software
17:51:56 <giselle> no, my application generates a svg
17:52:12 <giselle> and i'm using batik to display it
18:04:03 <giselle> any ideas?
19:26:49 <stelt> please moderate on svg.org
