Java & SVG

[JPaterson]

Hello All,

I am looking to make an Java drawing tool which will create, read, write and modify svg files. However i havent got a clue where to start programming. I understand that there will be minimum of 3 parts to such a tool

*SVG file (myDrawing.svg)
* DOM
* Java file (myApplication.java)

I would be very grateful if someone could send me an open source example with the above parts so i can understand how to parse back and fore.

On a side note, is Netbeans 5.0 IDE ideal for the development of such an application?

Thanks,

John

Unless you are doing this as an exercise in programming for your own education, suggest you have a look at

http://www.inkscape.org

I think you'll find they have already been there and done that, but in C++...

If you still want to proceed, you could start with the W3C SVG page which has some useful links, as well as the SVG standards.
