Abstract:
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a language for representing two-dimensional graphics. It was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to be the open standard format for both static and animated vector graphics on Web appliances, from desktop machines to mobile devices. The SVG 1.0 specification, whose authors Include representatives from Adobe, Microsoft, Sun, Kodak, Corel, Macromedia, IBM and Apple, became a W3C Recommendation in September 2001. SVG Is rapidly becoming the open standard of choice for graphics on the Web, and the many SVG implementations already in existence ensure the SVG documents can be viewed on a wide range of platforms.
