> Wrapping SVGSalamander is great, I look forward to that feature! Actually, I was hoping you might consider doing this. :-) SVGSalamander is LGPL, which means that we can't legally include it in the platform for licensing reasons. However, it would make a great "add-on", possibly as a project hosted on Google Code (where some other related projects already live, such as Pivot/JFree).

Though if you have already converted it to an image, you might be able to simply use ImageView to display it. Alternatively, you could write your own component that is capable of drawing the individual images (kind of like TextArea draws glyphs).
