Using SVG in GWT

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to include SVG content inside a panel (or whatever would work in GWT), be able to add more to the SVG (like add a circle or a curve) programmat

Answer 1

Interesting!

I've tried to use Raphael through GWT/Java code but I can't seem to be able to use your trick.

I have the following block in my HTML page :

When I compile/browse the page in Firefox, I get my circle in my page, no problem.

Then I add the following native java to my module entrypoint method and call it :

 private native JavaScriptObject returnRaphael() /*-{
            return $wnd.rr;
        }-*/;

Debugging shows that the returned object is always null...

Plus, I don't understand why I could not simply do the following in my Java code:

public native void createRaphael()/*-{
    Raphael("some_div", 200,200);
}-*/;

GWT keeps telling me that Raphael does not exist, though, as I see through firebug, the library is perfectly included. This does not work either :

public native void createRaphael()/*-{
    $wnd.Raphael("some_div", 200,200);
}-*/;

Surprinsingly, I manage to access draw2d (openJacob draw2d) classes and functions with that $wnd but not my Raphael objects... There must be something I did not get...
