Tilman,
I ended up handling this case by copying and overriding the SVGGraphics2D
drawImage() method as follows:
/**
* method to replace the SVGGraphics2D implementation and handle image
transparency by
* adding an "opacity" to the DOM element.
*
* called with:
* oImage Image object
* nX int width of image in pels
* nY int height of image in pels
* ImageObserver ImageObserver object
*/
public boolean drawImage( Image oImage,
int nX,
int nY,
ImageObserver oObserver)
{
// setup the DOM element to add to doc
Element oImageElement =
getGenericImageHandler().createElement(getGeneratorContext());
// set the transform and image handler
AffineTransform oTransForm = getGenericImageHandler().handleImage(
oImage,
oImageElement,
nX,
nY,
oImage.getWidth(null),
oImage.getHeight(null),
getGeneratorContext());
// determine it we need to add opacity to element
if ( oImage instanceof BufferedImage )
{ // is a buffered image, get it's transparency flag
int nTransparentType = ((BufferedImage)
oImage).getTransparency();
if ( nTransparentType == ColorModel.TRANSLUCENT )
{ // yes, add attribute to element, using ImageSite
default opacity value
String sOpacity =
DbSystemDefaults.DEF_SVG_IMAGE_OPACITY;
oImageElement.setAttribute(CSS_OPACITY_PROPERTY,
sOpacity);
}
}
// then add the element to the DOM
if (oTransForm == null)
{ // no transform, just add to DOM
domGroupManager.addElement(oImageElement);
}
else
{ // have a transform, calc the inverse
AffineTransform oInverseTransform = null;
try
{
oInverseTransform = oTransForm.createInverse();
}
catch(NoninvertibleTransformException e)
{
// This should never happen since handleImage
// always returns invertible transform
throw new SVGGraphics2DRuntimeException(ERR_UNEXPECTED);
}
// add transform, then the element, then invert the transform
gc.transform(oTransForm);
domGroupManager.addElement(oImageElement);
gc.transform(oInverseTransform);
}
return true;
}
