What is SVG ?
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open-standard language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML. It is a Recommendation from the W3C. SVG lets you describe rich images with features such as gradients, transparency, filter effects and animation. SVG has three types of graphic objects: shapes (e.g., paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text. Graphical objects can be grouped, styled, transformed and composited (e.g., drawn with transparency). SVG has a large set of static features which includes nested transformations, clipping paths, masking and filter effects. In addition, SVG images can be dynamic and interactive. A rich set of event handlers such as ‘onmouseover’ and ‘onclick’ can be assigned to any SVG graphical object. These handlers can invoke scripts, which, in response to an event, can dynamically modify the SVG graphic through the SVG Document Object Model (DOM) API, allowing, for example scripts to change the color or location of graphical
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open-standard language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML. It is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation. SVG allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (e.g., paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text. Graphical objects can be styled, transformed and composited into previously rendered objects. The feature set includes nested transformations, clipping paths, alpha masks, filter effects and template objects.
