Hi Joel,
First of all, you originally sent the message for the *subscription address* of the Batik developers list [1]. That doesn't make sense, and I'm wondering if that can even cause some trouble... Please be careful. :-| > we want to use SVG viewer to view files ,before installing SVG viewer we > want to know following detailsfor SVG viewer: Have you tried crawling the Batik site before asking [2]? I'd say all questions are already answered there and, even the ones which aren't, can probably be found at the mailing list archive (I personally prefer the Nabble interface [3], specially for searches). Said that, I'm providing a set of quick answers, which reflect my opinion only. > 1)Is the viewer compatible with XP and Vista. Yes. It's Java-based and there are runtimes available for those operating systems. > 2)Is the software available on the site ,free to download and use? Yes [4]. Note that "Batik is licensed according to the Apache License, Version 2.0" [5]. > 3)Is batik team providing the support to this product. Support seems to be provided by the community *only*. As far as I know there is no "assured" (paid) support plans, but I mighty be wrong (maybe there are, but from third parties). > 4)we have multiple systems,let us know what minimum configuration is needed > to install this viewer. That mostly depends on your use cases. First of all there are the Java requirements but then comes the complexity of the content to be viewed, which seems to have a stronger weight dictating the minimum requirements (as usual)... In most cases 128 MB memory seems to be enough, though I've seen cases where 320~512 MB were required to view a single image (!). The only difference was the content being viewed. I'd say at least 1GHz CPU will be required for a minimum smooth operation and not-too-long image load times (but, again, that is tightly dependent on content and to the expected usage pattern). > 5)does the product (SVG viewer) supports 32-bit or 64 bit machines. This is somehow related to question 1. Java runtimes are available for most known platforms. I'd suggest you checked that out in the Java download site [6] (but remember that Sun isn't the only Java runtime provider...). > Thanks and Regards, Again [2], please consider crawling for answers before asking... ;-) Hope this helps, Helder [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/mailing-lists.html#batik-dev [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#before [3] http://www.nabble.com/Batik-f308.html [4] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/download.html [5] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/license.html [6] http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
