Batik is a pure-Java library that can be used to render, generate, and manipulate SVG graphics. SVG is an XML markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics. The project was supported by IBM and then code donated to Apache Software Foundation where other companies and teams decided to join efforts. Batik provides a set of core modules that provide functionality to: * render and dynamically modify SVG content, * transcode SVG content to some raster Graphics file formats, such as PNG, JPEG and TIFF, * transcode Windows Metafiles to SVG (WMF or Windows Metafile Format is the vector format used by Microsoft Windows applications), * and manage scripting and user events on SVG documents. The Batik distribution also contains a ready-to-use SVG browser (called Squiggle) making use of the above modules. The name of the library comes from the Batik painting technique.  [edit]  Less
