Batik is a Java based toolkit for applications which handle images in
the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for various purposes, such as
viewing, generation or manipulation. Batik provides building blocks
that developerscan assemble in various ways in their Java
technologyapplications to generate, parse, view or convert SVGcontents.
Batik, for example, contains a Swing componentthat can add SVG viewing
capability to all Java technologyapplications. It can also be used to
generate SVG on a client or server, and allows to convert SVG content
into other formats such as JPEG or PNG. Batik's goal is tomake it easy
for application developers to handle SVGcontent for various purposes,
client-side or server-side.
