I'd like to display a svg image in javafx 2.0, but I don't find such a thing in the API. I guess it's because it's still in beta.
Until the final release, how can I load a svg ? Is there already a library which can handle that, or do I need to parse myself the file and then create the corresponding shapes ?
Thanks
Based on the answer of this question I found a working solution.
1. Include references to the Batik SVG Toolkit jars
2. Implement your own Transcoder
(based on this answer by Devon_C_Miller)
class MyTranscoder extends ImageTranscoder {
private BufferedImage image = null;
@Override
public BufferedImage createImage(int w, int h) {
image = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
return image;
}
@Override
public void writeImage(BufferedImage img, TranscoderOutput out) {
}
public BufferedImage getImage() {
return image;
}
}
3. Get a BufferedImage from your svg
(based on hint in this answer by John Doppelmann)
String uri = "path_to_svg/some.svg";
MyTranscoder transcoder = new MyTranscoder();
TranscodingHints hints = new TranscodingHints();
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_WIDTH, 20f); //your image width
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_HEIGHT, 20f); //your image height
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOM_IMPLEMENTATION, SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation());
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT_NAMESPACE_URI, SVGConstants.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI);
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT, SVGConstants.SVG_SVG_TAG);
hints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_XML_PARSER_VALIDATING, false);
transcoder.setTranscodingHints(hints);
TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(url.toExternalForm());
transcoder.transcode(input, null);
BufferedImage bufferedImage = transcoder.getImage();
4. Create an InputStream from BufferedImage
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
JPEGImageEncoder imageEncoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(outputStream);
imageEncoder.encode(bufferedImage);
byte[] bytes = outputStream.toByteArray();
InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
5. Add the image to your ImageView
//javafx.scene.image.Image
Image image = new Image(inputStream);
//javafx.scene.image.ImageView
ImageView imageView = new ImageView();
imageView.setImage(image);
this.getChildren().add(imageView);
Hope this will help!
I used @pmoule's answer above, but had better luck replacing his steps 3-5 with this:
MyTranscoder imageTranscoder = new MyTranscoder();
imageTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PNGTranscoder.KEY_WIDTH, (float) width);
imageTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PNGTranscoder.KEY_HEIGHT, (float) height);
TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(new FileReader(file));
imageTranscoder.transcode(input, null);
BufferedImage bimage = imageTranscoder.getImage();
WritableImage wimage = SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(bimage, null);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(wimage);
<panel-vbox-whatever>.getChildren().clear();
<panel-vbox-whatever>.getChildren().add(imageView);
Simpler, and it just worked better for me.

you do not need batik, you can try WebView like this:
WebView view = new WebView();
view.setMinSize(500, 400);
view.setPrefSize(500, 400);
final WebEngine eng = view.getEngine();
eng.load("http://127.0.0.1/demo1.svg");
Convert the SVG to FXML and then it becomes trivial. The conversion can be done with XSLT. You can get the stylesheet from here:
http://jayskills.com/blog/2012/06/03/svg-to-fxml-using-netbeans/
Then after conversion to FXML you can load it as a Node with the built-in FXMLLoader:
FXMLLoader.setDefaultClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
URL location = KayakMain.class.getResource("path/to/my/resource.fxml");
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(location);
