[Biojava-l] Server-side output of SequencePanel graphics

[Roy Park]

I need suggestions on three related topics:

I have written a SVG generating class for the SequencePanel output, using
Batik, and I am wondering what our "policies" are regarding external package
dependency (i.e. Batik, in this case)?

Also, I have two versions of PNG/JPEG generating code from SequencePanel,
one using JDK 1.4's ImageIO class (much cleaner), and the other using
Batik's (convoluted) bitmap generating scheme (not complete yet).  I know
that you people have been talking about converting biojava over to 1.4 - so
where are we on this now?

And finally, what would be a good name for the above class?
SequencePanelExt?  SequencePanelSVG?  Or should I modify the SequencePanel
altogether?

Thanks in advance for any helpful insights.
