Graphical Rendering of parsed XML data

[mfc2005]

Hi I am new to Java programming and am trying to read and an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) file from disk and output the elements and attributes e.g. <rect x="0" y="0" width="1280" height="1024"/> to a GUI.

I have figured out that I should use the DOM XML parser to load the file into a Document hierarchy then I will have more control with the elements and attributes.

The problems I have are:

1. How do I read a file into the parser from the filechooser class?

2.Which classes are best for rendering the document? - should I use the canvas GUI and Graphics2D classes?

Here you have a sample to read the file, fileChooser just returns a path to the file, take the path from there:

I don't understand what do you want to display, though.

Anyway, you shoud use the Java forum for questions like this

Cheers,
