Re: TextPainter

thanks Thomas.

I guess that I am wondering how I can get the Java2D implementation of the Graphics2D to render the SVG as text values instead of outlines.  I am drawing some SVG along with native Java2D calls but then when I render all of that to another svg some of the text shows up as strokes while the text that I drew using drawString shows up as SVG text objects.

So

SVG & Native Java2D -----> Into a Swing Canvas -----> Back to SVG ---> And then on to PDF via FOP and XSL

It's called StrokingTextPainter because it can, optionally, stroke the text it renders (meaning draw a fat line around the outline of the text, which does need to be done as outlines).
