I am new to birt and I am a little confused about the support for SVG
images. I have been snooping around birt and its documentation with the
goal of using it to deliver reports that would contain classic report data
and a map or floor plan that would be related to the data. My map server
could probably be convinced to provide an SVG image (if the report engine
could understand it) but I need to know if birt out-of-box should be able to
display it (and if so, what constraints might be placed on the SVG
graphic). If it can not display SVG, how might I extend birt to do so?
For example the documentation states that SVG is a supported image type (in
the ROM image item doc), but when you go to select an image, SVG is not one
of the proposed types. Also, it seems that the chart engine uses SVG as its
preferred format, but I don't really think that the chart engine is what
should be loading my map.
My interest is basically to generate PDF reports using Birt under a Tomcat
servlet deployment. Should this be possible (for simple line, polygon and
text SVG images - and perhaps with raster embedded in the SVG ) or would I
have to implement a birt plugin?
If I would have to implement an extension, where is the best place to start
looking for example code? If SVG is not the best way to implement this type
of report and since drawing simple vector graphic in PDF is relatively
simply, is there any doc (or examples) on how this might be done under the
birt framework?
Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.
