Very interesting.
I don't have a great trust of Autodesk either. (It's hard when they
keep violating their customers with forced upgrades.)

Hi Sunburned,
I actually got on board with DWF back in 1995 when AutoDesk first
introduced the WHIP! web browser plug-in. I got the "free" SDK and
started developing an application based on it. Imagine my surprise
when I got a letter from AutoDesk saying that they were revoking the
licenses of

The unit for line width is defined by the graphics system - so 1 = 1
pt. = 1/72 of an inch (or metric equivalent).

Hi Stefan,
We still may wish to change the UI so that it is possible to set
fractional line widths as is possible in other programs. That would
require more refactoring. It depends on how much control users need.
Such capability is always included in programs like Illustrator, and
is commonly

do you think that is possible? Since ever
A very late response to Larry:
so, do you think that your modification of the BasicStyle constructor is
now obsolete, since we can use "0"
BTW... I am exporting in svg and then prepare my images in
illustrator(inkscape). Thus, i don't really have styling problems. but

@Larry: IIRC the zero policy was introduced by Sun
as a reaction to some user complains at bugs.sun.com
that lines were vanishing when the scale becomes very small.
I can't remember when that was done. Before 1.4?

It simply creates

Larry,
I know it is very easy to convert to SVG by using the JTS graphics
painted on the LayerViewPanel and the Batik libs.
I wonder if some of the problems could be eliminated by using the JTS
Goemetries and Layer styling information to convert directly to SVG.
Just a thought.

More surprises (for me). Someone stop me if this is already
documented. If you set the line width to zero, you get very faint
lines. The documentation for BasicStroke says, "If width is set to
0.0f, the stroke is rendered as the thinnest possible line for the
target device and the antialias hint
Interesting... It turns out that when rendering antialiased lines,
Java2D actually draws lines with fractional widths as shown in the
attached JumpWindow screen capture. This would make it possible to
modify the Change Style line width slider to support floating point
values that represent very
Larry,
This is a great post. Thanks for documenting some of the problems we
are having with the rendering system. Perhaps I need to take a crack
at these with my pluggable renderering system, instead of stand alone
labels. I'll give this some thought.
