Reassigning all open bugs to the development list. Sorry for the mass mailing. The batik site http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ seems to suggest that export to WMF can be accomplished using FOP. But it doesn't appear to be the case. Any ideas on when/if this might be resolved? Thanks, (In reply to comment #2) > The batik site http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ seems to suggest that > export to WMF can be accomplished using FOP.

I have a working copy of a SVG => PowerPoint transcoder, using POI HSLF classes in scratchpad (last Beta version). I could not use the PPGraphics2D which comes with the HSLF package; however using this class fired no exceptions, but the result was very incorrect, though I don't know if it comes from the maturity of this class, the way I used it, or even specific Graphics2D features that were heavily used by my (rather complex) SVG examples and not supported yet. It turned out I created a new PPTranscoder class, associated with a PPTGraphics2D (of course). I have no problem to give this code to Apache, as it can be useful to others, but apart from the fact that I surely have to perform more tests, I really don't know how to integrate it in Batik (it uses a part of POI). Just to be clear: This code is a Batik transcoder, but it uses the POI library ;) (In reply to comment #4) > I have a working copy of a SVG => PowerPoint transcoder, using POI HSLF classes > in scratchpad (last Beta version) Sounds cool. :-) > I have no problem to give this code to Apache, as it can be useful to others, > [...] I really don't know how to integrate it in Batik (it uses a part of POI). Well, as far as I know (at least) the following should be required: 1. POI HSLF classes should be using a license which is compatible with Batik's (Apache License 2.0 [1]). Without that I imagine it will be pretty hard... 2. You'll need to post your code for review (probably by attaching a patch into this bug); 3. If a Batik committer finds it interesting, you'll need to sign the agreement with Apache on contributing source code (but that can be left for afterward). Hope this helps, Helder [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/license.html (In reply to comment #6) > 2.

A new issue should be created if/when you decide to contribute the code: these PowerPoint comments are even quite off-topic. Please consider creating a separate issue while proceeding with this. ;-) Done, I've created a new issue #47491 |
