SVG

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

A work around would be to use a custom protocol handler (I assume JavaFX
loads the image using URL.openConnection/openStream) who loads the file,
runs it through Batik and returns a stream with the rendered image.

An URL might look like this:

svg:file:/path/to/myfile.svg?size=16x16

and if the above assumption holds true then JavaFX does not even notice
what's going on ;-)

The only a caveat is that this is not working with CSS and relative URLs
in there.

But it uses com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageFormatDescription, com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageLoader, com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageStorage and com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageLoaderFactory. in openjfx9 is still there in com.sun... What's going to happen to these classes in Java 9? Is there strategy about providing ways to use them?
