Scalable Vector Graphics

From GMpedia.org Wiki

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based 2-dimensional vector graphics file format and specification. The SVG format can support both static and animated graphics, scripting, hyperlinks, and more. The SVG format is an open standard created and maintained by the W3C's SVG Working Group.

[edit] Example

Since SVG files are an application of XML they are edited as plain-text files. Below is an image in SVG format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.0" width="200" height="200">
 <defs>
   <linearGradient x2="1" id="orange_red">
     <stop style="stop-color:#ff0;stop-opacity:1" offset="0" />
     <stop style="stop-color:#808000;stop-opacity:1" offset="1" />
   </linearGradient>
 </defs>
 <rect width="200" height="200" style="fill:url(#orange_red)" />
 <circle cx="67" cy="66.6" r="50" style="opacity:0.7;fill:#f00;stroke:#000;stroke-width:1" />

 <circle cx="133" cy="67" r="50" style="opacity:0.7;fill:#0f0;stroke:#000;stroke-width:1" />
 <circle cx="100" cy="133" r="50" style="opacity:0.7;fill:#00f;stroke:#000;stroke-width:1" />
</svg>
