I am currently working on how to read in ESRI shapefiles, parse/edit layers and then export out to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) file type. I have been using GeoTools primarily for reading/loading shapefiles. I am also displaying them using an JMapFrame GUI.

My issue currently is how to export a shapefile, after reading it in, to an SVG file. There is a great example by OpenJUMP which does exactly as I need, however, while looking at the code used to implement this feature, I am unable to figure out how to do it myself. I want to avoid using OpenJUMP's program as export to SVG using java code (so I can do other things before exporting).

Note: I have 2 files - ShapefileExporter.java (main class) and ExportShapefile.java (export to svg code)

Here is some of my code reading in shapefiles:

    public class ShapefileExporter {    
        final static ExportShapefile exportSHP = new ExportShapefile();
        final JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
        JToolBar jtb;
        MapContent map;
        JPopupMenu rcMenu = new JPopupMenu("Popup");
        private JMapFrame jframe;
        private File shapeFile;

        // Main, start program
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

            ShapefileExporter exporter = new ShapefileExporter();

            if (args.length == 0 || !args[0].toLowerCase().endsWith(".shp")) {
                System.out.println("Any provided shapefile.prl or .sld will be used");
            } else {
                String pathname = args[0];
                URL shape = acquireURL(pathname);

                if (shape == null) {
                    System.err.println("Could not find shapefile");
                    System.exit(1);
                }

                exporter.loadFile(shape);
            }
        }

        // Load Shapefile into JMapFrame
        protected void loadFile(URL shape) throws IOException {

            FileDataStore store = FileDataStoreFinder.getDataStore(shape);
            SimpleFeatureSource featureSource = store.getFeatureSource();

            Style style = SLD.createSimpleStyle( featureSource.getSchema() );
            FeatureLayer layer = new FeatureLayer(featureSource, style);  

            ShapefileDataStore ds = new ShapefileDataStore(shape);
            FeatureSource<SimpleFeatureType, SimpleFeature> fs = ds.getFeatureSource();

            map = new MapContent();
            map.addLayer(layer);


            jframe.setMapContent(map);
        }

        // Constructor, create/display JMapFrame GUI
        public ShapefileExporter() {

            File default_dir = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "NetBeansProjects/Working On");
            jfc.setCurrentDirectory(default_dir);

            jframe = new JMapFrame();

            jframe.setSize(1000, 800);
            jframe.enableStatusBar(true);
            jframe.enableToolBar(true);
            jframe.enableLayerTable(true);

            JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
            jframe.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

            JMenu menubar = new JMenu("File");
            menuBar.add(menubar);

Note: 'file' 'jframe' and 'map' are being declared and pointed to from another file.

Example of JMapFrame display:

GIS Display

Update: I got the code working, there were some issues with the pom.xml and versions of libraries I had.

Have a look at the code referenced in my blog post which shows how to do exactly this, including styling the layer.

Here is the actual code:

private void exportSVG(File file) {

Dimension canvasSize = new Dimension(frame.getMapPane().getSize());

Document document = null;

DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db;
try {
    db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e1.printStackTrace();
    return;
}

// Create an instance of org.w3c.dom.Document
document = db.getDOMImplementation().createDocument(null, "svg", null);

// Set up the map
SVGGeneratorContext ctx1 = SVGGeneratorContext.createDefault(document);
SVGGeneratorContext ctx = ctx1;
ctx.setComment("Generated by GeoTools with Batik SVG Generator");

SVGGraphics2D g2d = new SVGGraphics2D(ctx, true);

g2d.setSVGCanvasSize(canvasSize);

Rectangle outputArea = new Rectangle(g2d.getSVGCanvasSize());
ReferencedEnvelope dataArea = map.getViewport().getBounds();

frame.getMapPane().getRenderer().paint(g2d, outputArea, dataArea);
OutputStreamWriter osw = null;
try {
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
    osw = null;

    osw = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8");
    g2d.stream(osw);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SVGGraphics2DIOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    if (osw != null)
    try {
        osw.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

  • I am getting an File exception for file: /filepath/ java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null incompatible with Global antialiasing enable key on line: OutputStreamWriter osw = null;

  • Scratch that, it's the line jframe.getMapPane().getRenderer().paint(g2d, outputArea, dataArea)
