| <title>Overview</title> |
| <p> |
| Apache XML Graphics Commons is a library that consists of several reusable components |
| used by <a href="ext:batik">Apache Batik</a> and <a href="ext:fop">Apache FOP</a>. |
| Many of these components can easily be used separately outside the domains of SVG |
| and XSL-FO. You will find components such as a PDF library, an RTF library, Graphics2D |
| implementations that let you generate PDF & PostScript files, and much more. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Apache XML Graphics Commons has only just begun. It's in the process of being |
| populated with components coming from <a href="ext:batik">Apache Batik</a> |
| and <a href="ext:fop">Apache FOP</a>. Stay tuned for exciting treasures made |
| available. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In the Wiki, we have a |
| <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics/XmlGraphicsCommonComponents">plan for building Apache XML Graphics Commons</a>. |
| The plan provides an idea of what you can expect to find here when we're finished |
| migrating components. |
