<title>Batik Swing components</title>
</header>
<body>
<p>
The goal of the Batik Swing component module is to provide a Swing
component that can used to display SVG documents.
With the
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/JSVGCanvas.html">JSVGCanvas</a>
class, you can easily display an SVG document (from a URI or a DOM tree)
and allow the user to manipulate it, such as rotating, zooming, panning,
selecting text or activating hyperlinks. First this document explains how
to create a <code>JSVGCanvas</code> and integrate it in to a Swing
application. Then, it descibes some advanced features such as the listener
mechanism used to track all events that occurred while displaying or
manipulating an SVG document.
</p>
<section id="creatingJSVGCanvas">
<title>Creating a JSVGCanvas</title>
<p>
The following example illustrates how to create a
<code>JSVGCanvas</code>, which is a Swing component that follows the
Swing design rule. This means that the component is not thread safe and
all operations on the component or the document it is displaying must
be performed as described in
<a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/overview/threads.html">the
Swing tutorial</a>. The <code>JSVGCanvas</code> is also a
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/">JavaBean</a>, so it
can be used in visual application builders.
</p>
<note>
If you try this example, do not forget to set your
<code>CLASSPATH</code> so that it contains the Batik classes and
resources, as well as Xerces (<code>lib/xerces_2_5_0.jar</code>)
and the XML APIs jars (<code>lib/xml-apis.jar</code> and
<code>lib/xml-apis-ext.jar</code>).

<title>Handling events</title>
<p>
Each time you set a URI or an SVG DOM tree to be displayed in a
<code>JSVGCanvas</code> (using the <code>setURI</code> or
<code>setSVGDocument</code> method), the specified document is first
parsed (in case of a URI), built, rendered and optionally updated. The
proper way to be notified of these different phases is to implement a
listener and attach it to the component. There are five types
of listener:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>SVGDocumentLoaderListener</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGDocumentLoaderListener">SVGDocumentLoaderListener</a>
provides a set of methods that can be used to track
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGDocumentLoaderEvent">SVGDocumentLoaderEvent</a>
events. It describes the loading phase: contructing an SVG
DOM tree using an SVG file.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GVTTreeBuilderListener</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/GVTTreeBuilderListener">GVTTreeBuilderListener</a>
provides a set of methods that can be used to track
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/GVTTreeBuilderEvent">GVTTreeBuilderEvent</a>
events. It describes the building phase: contructing a GVT
(Graphics Vector Toolkit) tree using an SVG DOM tree. The GVT tree
will then be used to render the document.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>SVGLoadEventDispatcherListener</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGLoadEventDispatcherListener">SVGLoadEventDispatcherListener</a>
provides a set of methods that can be used to track
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGLoadEventDispatcherEvent">SVGLoadEventDispatcherEvent</a>
events. It describes the DOM <code>SVGLoad</code> event dispatch phase.
</p>
<p>
This event is triggered only in dynamic documents.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>GVTTreeRendererListener</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/gvt/GVTTreeRendererListener.html">GVTTreeRendererListener</a>
provides a set of methods that can be used to track
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/gvt/GVTTreeRendererEvent.html">GVTTreeRendererEvent</a>
events. It describes the rendering phase: constructing an image using
a GVT tree.
</p>
<p>
In dynamic documents this event is fired only once for the initial rendering.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>UpdateManagerListener</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
The
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/bridge/UpdateManagerListener">UpdateManagerListener</a>
provides a set of methods that can be used to track
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/bridge/UpdateManagerEvent">UpdateManagerEvent</a>
events. It describes the running phase: the update manager is
started and then it can be suspended, resumed or stopped, and
graphics updates can be tracked.
</p>
<p>
This event is triggered only in dynamic documents.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>
These listeners give a complete description of the different steps of
the five phases (including error states). Adapter classes are available
to ease the creation of new listener implementation&#x2014;<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGDocumentLoaderAdapter.html">SVGDocumentLoaderAdapter</a>,
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/GVTTreeBuilderListenerAdapter.html">GVTTreeBuilderListenerAdapter</a>,
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/svg/SVGLoadEventDispatcherAdapter.html">SVGLoadEventDispatcherAdapter</a>,
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/gvt/GVTTreeRendererAdapter.html">GVTTreeRendererAdapter</a>
and
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/bridge/UpdateManagerAdapter.html">UpdateManagerAdapter</a>,
</p>
<p>
For static documents, you can assume that the JSVGCanvas has completed
its job (parsing, building and rendering) when the
<code>gvtRenderingCompleted</code> method call is called, following a
<code>setURI</code> or a <code>setSVGDocument</code> method call.
</p>
<p>
In the case of dynamic documents, the end of the computation (parsing,
building, SVGLoad dispatch, initial rendering and updates) is marked
by a call to the <code>updateManagerStopped</code> method.
</p>
</section>
<section id="interactor">
<title>Adding an Interactor</title>
<p>
The <code>JSVGCanvas</code> provides a set of build-in interactors that
let the users manipulate the displayed document, including ones for
zooming, panning and rotating. Interactors catch user input to the
<code>JSVGCanvas</code> component and translate them into behaviour.
If you want to add new behaviors to the <code>JSVGCanvas</code>, you
can implement the
<a class="class" href="../javadoc/org/apache/batik/swing/gvt/Interactor.html">Interactor</a>
interface. Then, you can register this new interactor to the component
by adding an element to the <code>List</code> returned by the
<code>getInteractors()</code> method of the canvas.
