This is correct, the SVG Graphics2D is really intended as a way to capture existing drawing code into SVG. The SVGGraphics2D is a heavy weight way to generate SVG elements. Using createElementNS and setAttributeNS is genereally only slightly more verbose code and will generally produce cleaner (and hence probably faster to render and easier to manage) documents. --=_alternative 00405AAD85257429_= Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII"

This is correct, the SVG Graphics2D is really intended as a way to
capture existing drawing code into SVG. The SVGGraphics2D is a heavy
weight way to generate SVG elements. Using createElementNS and
setAttributeNS is genereally only slightly more verbose code and
will generally produce cleaner (and hence probably faster to render
and easier to manage) documents. --=_alternative 00405AAD85257429_=--
