So ParsedURL could help if your image data was in JPEG or PNG
format, but I suspect
it isn't since you mention it's 2D. Assuming your bytes are RGB color
values for the pixels in the
image I would suggest figuring out how to wrap that data into the
java.awt.image.BufferedImage.
Then you could build a o.a.batik.gvt.RasterImageNode that you
insert into the GVT tree.
You can take a BufferedImage and set it on the RasterImageNode. You might
look at the
o.a.batik.ext.awt.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGRegistryEntry in particular the
lines:
cr = GraphicsUtil.wrap(image);
filt = new RedRable(cr);
Which wrap a standard buffered Image such that it's suitable to
set on a RasterImageNode
(it allows it to scale properly).
Personally I'd probably encode the image as a JPEG or PNG and
set it as a 'data' URL since that would avoid the direct mucking with
the GVT tree (generally problematic). The other option is if it will
always be the 'background' would be to modify the Canvas to use your
image as the background fill.
