	Scalable Vector Graphics
		The overall purpose of SVG is to be a language for the representation of shapes.
		SVG is an open standard, which means that its specification is publicly available (at W3C) and many SVG freeware and commercial software tools are available from a wide variety of developers and vendors.
		SVG graphics are represented in data files that are plain text which is readable by humans and easily edited using a simple text editor.

	Scalable Vector Graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and animated, and either declarative or scripted.
		SVG was developed by the W3C SVG Working Group starting in 1998, after Macromedia and Microsoft introduced Vector Markup Language (VML) whereas Adobe Systems and Sun Microsystems submitted a competing format known as PGML.
		SVG support would be valuable to a wiki, especially for articles that require diagrams, so the situation may change in the future, when ImageMagick is expanded to cover more of the SVG standard, and work on allowing Batik to run on a completely free Java implementation is complete [2].

		SVG is to graphics what XHTML is to text, MathML is to mathematical equations and CML is to the description of chemical molecules.
		SVG is similar in scope to Macromedia's proprietary Flash technology: among other things it offers anti-aliased rendering, pattern and gradient fills, sophisticated filter-effects, clipping to arbitrary paths, text and animations.
		SVG 1.1 is a big specification and we still have a lot of work to do to fully implement it.

	Main Articles: 'Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG): Vector Graphics for the Web', Ariadne Issue 28
		The Scalable Vector Graphics activity in W3C was triggered in March 1998 by the submission of a proposal for using XML to represent 2D schematic diagrams, called Web Schematics, submitted by Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) and INRIA (France).
		The work to develop SVG has taken some time, not least because dependencies on other W3C work have emerged, and it was realized that rather than develop specific functionality for SVG, it would be more worthwhile in the longer term to generalize some of the functionality in other Recommendations.
		SVG does allow coordinate systems to be defined in more complex ways using units other than pixels and gives control over how the region defined by the viewBox should be mapped into the screen viewport when the two do not have the same aspect ratio, but that goes beyond the scope of this simple introduction.

	oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: SVG Essentials
		Scalable Vector Graphics -- or SVG -- is the new XML-based graphics standard from the W3C that will enable Web documents to be smaller, faster and more interactive.
		SVG makes it possible for designers to escape the constant need to update graphics by hand or use custom code to generate bitmap images.
		SVG is a significant advance on previous graphical approaches, one that few organizations exploit, and 'SE' is a graceful way to gain great confidence in its abilities.

	Scalable Vector Graphics
		Scalable vector graphics are images that computers can display from a set of geometric instructions instead of using information on each and every pixel, as traditional image files do.
		SVG is not a standard as such, because the W3C is not a standards body.
		The SVG graphic produced from an instrument or by a designer can be more valuable than a conventional image of the same subject.

	Cover Pages: W3C Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
		SVG vector graphics are scalable to different display resolutions, so that for example printed output uses the full resolution of the printer and can be displayed at the same size on screens of different resolutions.
		SVG uses a 'painters model' of rendering, meaning that paint is applied in successive operations to the output device such that each operation paints over some area of the output device.
		Vector graphics mean better quality and greater precision for many types of illustrations and artwork, especially technical illustrations and other kinds of artwork created by computer-aided design programs.

	WebReference.com - SVG: The Art is in the Code (1/8)
		SVG can utilize CSS and the DOM, where as Flash relies on proprietary technology that is not open source, at least not in the sense that we can right click on the page and see what is happening behind the scenes.
		While SVG has not yet reached the popularity level of Flash, times are changing quickly bringing with it a sense of enthusiasm for SVG.
		As a consequence, SVG has to be displayed through the use of a plug-in such as the Adobe SVG plug-in.

	Interactive, dynamic Scalable Vector Graphics
		Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML application language which describes 2D vector graphics.
		In addition, SVG images can be created dynamically from XML data, for example from an XML-enabled relational database management system, using XSLT and other technologies.
		An SVG viewer: The most widely used SVG viewer at the time of this writing is Adobe's SVG Viewer, version 3.0, which is available for free at http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html.

	What is SVG? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Short for Scalable Vector Graphics, a vector graphics file format that enables two-dimensional images to be displayed in XML pages on the Web.
		Vector images are created through text-based commands formatted to comply with XML specifications.
		In contrast to JPEG and GIF images on the Web, which are bitmapped and always remain a specified size, SVG images are scalable to the size of the viewing window and will adjust in size and resolution according to the window in which it is displayed.

	Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification
		SVG 1.1 serves two purposes: to provide a modularization of SVG based on SVG 1.0 and to include the errata found so far in SVG 1.0.
		The authors of the SVG 1.1 specification are the people who participated in the SVG Working Group as members or alternates.
		SVG 1.1 is truly a cooperative effort between the SVG Working Group, the rest of the W3C, and the public and benefits greatly from the pioneering work of early implementers and content developers, feedback from the public, and help from the W3C team.

		SWF formats are different beasts altogether belonging to another class of graphics that are rendered using short line segments called vectors.
		This is because the vector-based viewers are able to recalculate how the graphic should look based on the textual description of the circle shape that is found inside of the SVG graphic.
		Because vector graphics are defined programmatically they provide a more efficient means for rendering print and animation, as well as adding interaction (including panning and zooming) and analytical capability.
