Does anyone know if it's possible to use Draw2D headless, ie without
drawing graphics on the screen. I will be using it to display also but
there will be a requirement for batch (headless) operation , ie from the
command line, where the laid out figures will be saved as SVG files.

I would be grateful for any information or experience people have had
using it in this way,

Anthony

What do you want to do in headless mode? If you are talking about
laying out figures in batch and save the result then you can probably do
it. Layout algorithms usually do not need the screen object to
calculate the layout location. You give it the model
(location/size/connection) and it will do the layout. You just take the
resulting model and save to whatever format you want.

Thanks for your reply
>What do you want to do in headless mode?
Ultimately I want to create an svg file from the laid out figure, perhaps
using batik and drawing the figures onto its canvas.
