The Apache Foundation has released a new version of Batik.<\/p>\n
Batik is a Java-based toolkit for applications or applets that want to use images in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for various purposes, such as display, generation or manipulation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nUsing Batik?s thumbnail function to navigate a complex SVG document<\/small><\/p>\nBatik is not only relevant for java developers. It also contains various tools that can help in converting svg files into other formats (see how<\/a> we used it to convert the svg produced with Inkscape into a pdf), encode ttf fonts<\/a> in svg font format or simply view an svg document in a browser (batik ships with the squiggle browser <\/a>which is the most reliable svg viewer for the moment)
\nLast but not least, Batik’s latest release now supports many features related to animation.<\/p>\n
