Method Summary

SVGCompositeDescriptor	handleComposite(java.awt.Composite composite, SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)
SVGFilterDescriptor	handleFilter(java.awt.image.BufferedImageOp filter, java.awt.Rectangle filterRect, SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)
SVGPaintDescriptor	handlePaint(java.awt.Paint paint, SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)

Method Detail

handlePaint

public SVGPaintDescriptor handlePaint(java.awt.Paint paint,
                                      SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)

Parameters:

paint - Custom Paint to be converted to SVG

generatorContext - allows the handler to build DOM objects as needed.

Returns:

an SVGPaintDescriptor

handleComposite

public SVGCompositeDescriptor handleComposite(java.awt.Composite composite,
                                              SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)

Parameters:

composite - Custom Composite to be converted to SVG.

generatorContext - allows the handler to build DOM objects as needed.

Returns:

an SVGCompositeDescriptor which contains a valid SVG filter, or null if the composite cannot be handled

handleFilter

public SVGFilterDescriptor handleFilter(java.awt.image.BufferedImageOp filter,
                                        java.awt.Rectangle filterRect,
                                        SVGGeneratorContext generatorContext)

Parameters:

filter - Custom filter to be converted to SVG.

filterRect - Rectangle, in device space, that defines the area to which filtering applies. May be null, meaning that the area is undefined.

generatorContext - allows the handler to build DOM objects as needed.

Returns:

an SVGFilterDescriptor which contains a valid SVG filter, or null if the composite cannot be handled
