Greetings,
I've tried to find information in the archives regarding this issue but
didn't find anything.
I'm currently working with some SVG files that have "fill: transparent"
css attributes.
These files render correctly on the web-browsers I've tested so far
(Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge and Safari), with the respective areas being
transparent/blank.
On the other hand, Batik is rendering this image ignoring this
attribute, and the same areas are rendered as black. After debugging
I've realized that since there isn't a recognized value for this, Batik
uses default, which is black.
In order to have the same behavior on Batik, I need to use "fill: none"
instead of "fill: transparent".
My current solution for now is to add this constant to CSSConstants.java:
StringCSS_TRANSPARENT_VALUE ="transparent";
In SVGPaintManager.createValue method I just add to the CSS_NONE_VALUE
check, the constant I've created, and if it validates, it's treated the
same way as a NONE_VALUE.
if (lu.getStringValue().equalsIgnoreCase
(CSSConstants.CSS_NONE_VALUE) || lu.getStringValue().equalsIgnoreCase
(CSSConstants.CSS_TRANSPARENT_VALUE)) {
return SVGValueConstants.NONE_VALUE; }
Would this be a viable solution to support this value on Batik, or is
there a better approach? Should we handle "transparent" differently from
"none"?
Would it make sense to add this to other AbstractValueManager
implementations that use the CSS_NONE_VALUE?
Thank you for your time,
Miguel
