I am using Batik to handle SVG images. Is there any way to get a java.awt.image.BufferedImage from a SVG-file?

I know there are transcoders, with which I could transcode the SVG into, for example, a PNG and then load that PNG with ImageIO.read()· But I don't want to have the temporary file.

Using Batik, something like this:

public static BufferedImage rasterize(File svgFile) throws IOException {



    final BufferedImage imagePointer = new BufferedImage[1];



    // Rendering hints can't be set programatically, so

    // we override defaults with a temporary stylesheet.

    // These defaults emphasize quality and precision, and

    // are more similar to the defaults of other SVG viewers.

    // SVG documents can still override these defaults.

    String css = "svg {" +

            "shape-rendering: geometricPrecision;" +

            "text-rendering:  geometricPrecision;" +

            "color-rendering: optimizeQuality;" +

            "image-rendering: optimizeQuality;" +

            "}";

    File cssFile = File.createTempFile("batik-default-override-", ".css");

    FileUtils.writeStringToFile(cssFile, css);



    TranscodingHints transcoderHints = new TranscodingHints();

    transcoderHints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_XML_PARSER_VALIDATING, Boolean.FALSE);

    transcoderHints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOM_IMPLEMENTATION,

            SVGDOMImplementation.getDOMImplementation());

    transcoderHints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT_NAMESPACE_URI,

            SVGConstants.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI);

    transcoderHints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_DOCUMENT_ELEMENT, "svg");

    transcoderHints.put(ImageTranscoder.KEY_USER_STYLESHEET_URI, cssFile.toURI().toString());



    try {



        TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(new FileInputStream(svgFile));



        ImageTranscoder t = new ImageTranscoder() {



            @Override

            public BufferedImage createImage(int w, int h) {

                return new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

            }



            @Override

            public void writeImage(BufferedImage image, TranscoderOutput out)

                    throws TranscoderException {

                imagePointer[0] = image;

            }

        };

        t.setTranscodingHints(transcoderHints);

        t.transcode(input, null);

    }

    catch (TranscoderException ex) {

        // Requires Java 6

        ex.printStackTrace();

        throw new IOException("Couldn't convert " + svgFile);

    }

    finally {

        cssFile.delete();

    }



    return imagePointer[0];

}

A very easy way is to use the TwelveMonkeys lib which adds additional image type support to java's ImageIO

So for example you just add these to your maven (or copy the needed jars):

    <dependency>

        <groupId>com.twelvemonkeys.imageio</groupId>

        <artifactId>imageio-batik</artifactId> <!-- svg -->

        <version>3.2.1</version>

    </dependency>

    <dependency>

        <groupId>batik</groupId>

        <artifactId>batik-transcoder</artifactId>

        <version>1.6-1</version>

    </dependency>

And then you just read it with

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(svg-file);

To check if the svg reader is registered correctly you could print out the image readers:

Iterator<ImageReader> readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("SVG");

while (readers.hasNext()) {

    System.out.println("reader: " + readers.next());

}

The lib also supports additional params, see readme on github.

This is what I use. It's an extension of BufferedImage with its own static factory that can be used wherever a BufferedImage is used. I wrote it so that any call to getScaledInstance(w, h, hint) will render from the SVG, not the rasterized image. A side-effect of this is that the scaling hint parameter has no meaning; you can just pass 0 or DEFAULT to that. It renders lazily - only when graphics data is requested - so the load / scale cycle shouldn't give you too much overhead.

Edit: I added support using the above CSS config for scaling quality hints.
Edit 2: Lazy rendering wasn't working consistently; I put the render() call into the constructor.

It has the following dependencies:

• org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-anim


• org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-bridge


• org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-gvt


• org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-transcoder


• org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-util


• xml-apis:xml-apis-ext


• commons-logging:commons-logging

When I made this, I used batik 1.8; YMMV.
