Re: Vertical alignment?

I have a servlet that returns data from a database that allows users to see how
much beer has been sold each month against what they proposed.


I would now like to chart this and SVG seems to be fairly easy to
understand.....however, when returning info to the browser I start by saying


res.setContentType("text/xml");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();


Then I try to write the code (the example is what I am trying to output first)


out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
out.println("<svg width=\"300\" height=\"300\">");
out.println("<g id=\"db-symbol\" style=\"stroke:#000000\">");
out.println("<rect x=\"20\" y=\"130\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\"
fill=\"#41B8D4\"/>");
out.println("<circle cx=\"200\" cy=\"200\" r=\"70\" fill=\"#FFFF5C\"/>");
out.println("<path d=\"M 150,60 L 60,180 L 240,180 Z\" fill=\"#F555A8\"/>");
out.println("</g>");
out.println("</svg>");


This is probably dumb (I am quite open to ridicule - but preferably advice) on
how I get the chart to show!


Cheers
