Apache Batik

Batik is a pure-Java library that can be used to render, generate, and manipulate SVG graphics (SVG is an XML markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics). IBM supported the project and then donated the code to the Apache Software Foundation, where other companies and teams decided to join efforts. Batik provides a set of core modules that provide functionality to:

  • Render and dynamically modify SVG content,
  • Transcode SVG content to some raster Graphics file formats, such as PNG, JPEG and TIFF,
  • Transcode Windows Metafiles to SVG (WMF or Windows Metafile Format is the vector format used by Microsoft Windows applications),
  • And manage scripting and user events on SVG documents.

The name of the library comes from the Batik painting technique.

Status

Batik was long the most conformant existing SVG 1.1 implementation[1][2][3] and as of 2011 is just a small fraction behind Opera.

Version 1.7, made available on January 10, 2008, had an "almost full" implementation of the current state of the sXBL specification,[4] a nearly complete implementation of SVG declarative animation SMIL features, and some of the SVG 1.2 late October 2004 working draft (see SVG's Development history).

gollark: Odd.
gollark: Wait, must it be EXACTLY three?
gollark: If not I guess the corners will fit enderium.
gollark: Can it run TBU oxide?
gollark: You'd be better off running three pancakes.
