Interface DomExtension

All Known Implementing Classes:

BatikDomExtension

public interface DomExtension

This is a Service interface for classes that want to extend the functionality of the SVGOMDocument, to support new tags in the DOM tree.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getAuthor() This should return the individual or company name responsible for the this implementation of the extension.
java.lang.String	getContactAddress() This should return a contact address (usually an e-mail address).
java.lang.String	getDescription() Human readable description of the extension.
float	getPriority() Return the priority of this Extension.
java.lang.String	getURL() This should return a URL where information can be obtained on this extension.
void	registerTags(ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation di) This method should update the DOMImplementation with support for the tags in this extension.

Method Detail

getPriority

public float getPriority()

Return the priority of this Extension. Extensions are registered from lowest to highest priority. So if for some reason you need to come before/after another existing extension make sure your priority is lower/higher than theirs.

getAuthor

public java.lang.String getAuthor()

This should return the individual or company name responsible for the this implementation of the extension.

getContactAddress

public java.lang.String getContactAddress()

This should return a contact address (usually an e-mail address).

getURL

public java.lang.String getURL()

This should return a URL where information can be obtained on this extension.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Human readable description of the extension. Perhaps that should be a resource for internationalization? (although I suppose it could be done internally)

registerTags

public void registerTags(ExtensibleSVGDOMImplementation di)

This method should update the DOMImplementation with support for the tags in this extension. In some rare cases it may be necessary to replace existing tag handlers, although this is discouraged. This is called before the DOMImplementation starts.

Parameters:

di - The DOMImplementation instance to be updated
