* Understand Compositing and Color extensions in SVG 1. 2 in 30 minutes!

The example above shows a notation named " type-image-svg " that references the standard public FPI and the system identifier ( the standard URI ) of an SVG 1. 1 document, instead of specifying just a system identifier as in the first example ( which was a relative URI interpreted locally as a MIME type ).

Since 2001, the SVG specification has been updated to version 1. 1 ( current Recommendation ) and 1. 2 ( still a Working Draft ).

The SVG Mobile Recommendation introduced two simplified profiles of SVG 1. 1, SVG Basic and SVG Tiny, meant for devices with reduced computational and display capabilities.

SVG Tiny later became an autonomous Recommendation ( current version 1. 2 ) and the basis for SVG 1. 2.

In addition to these variants and profiles, the SVG Print specification ( still a Working Draft ) contains guidelines for printable SVG 1. 2 and SVG Tiny 1. 2 documents.

Conforming SVG 1. 1 viewers will display compressed images.

Examples include Web accessibility a set of guidelines and two accessible web portals designed for people developing reading skills are peepo. com — try typing a letter with your keyboard for more — and peepo. co. uk with enhanced graphics, unique style controls and improved interactivity ( requires an SVG supported browser ).

* Export diagrams as GIF, PNG, PS, EPS, PGML and SVG.

Modern imaging systems like PostScript, Asymptote, Metafont, and SVG use Bézier splines composed of cubic Bézier curves for drawing curved shapes.

It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ) to draw the shape.

Other approaches, such as individual frames served by AJAX, or SVG images may be animated via JavaScript or SMIL.

Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic ( i. e., interactive or animated ).

The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) since 1999.

SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files.

As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but it is often more convenient to create them with drawing programs such as Inkscape.

All major modern web browsers — including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari — have at least some degree of support for SVG and can render the markup directly.

Earlier versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer ( IE ) do not support SVG natively.

SVG has been in development since 1999 by a group of companies within the W3C after the competing standards Precision Graphics Markup Language ( PGML ) – developed from Adobe's PostScript – and Vector Markup Language ( VML ) – developed from Microsoft's RTF – were submitted to W3C in 1998.

SVG drew on experience from the designs of both those formats.

SVG allows three types of graphic objects: vector graphics, raster graphics, and text.

SVG does not directly support z-indices that separate drawing order from document order for overlapping objects, unlike some other vector markup languages like VML.

Text can be in any XML namespace suitable to the application, which enhances search ability and accessibility of the SVG graphics.

The difference with the GIF image, is that the SVG image will be parsed within the SGML document, according to the declarations in the DTD, where the GIF image is just referenced as an opaque external object ( which is not parsable with SGML ) via its " data " attribute ( whose value type is an opaque ENTITY ).

Neither mobile profile includes support for the full DOM, while only SVG Basic has optional support for scripting, but because they are fully compatible subsets of the full standard, most SVG graphics can still be rendered by devices which only support the mobile profiles.

The use of SVG on the web is still limited by the lack of support in older versions of Internet Explorer ( IE ) which ( as of June 2012 ) is the second most widely used browser, behind Chrome.

Web browsers which can display SVG images on web pages include Firefox, Internet Explorer ( IE 9 +), Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

SVGT 1. 2 includes some features not found in SVG 1. 1, including non-scaling strokes, which are supported by some SVG 1. 1 implementations, such as Opera, Firefox and WebKit.

Implementations of SVG that uses the OpenVG API will be hardware accelerated on devices which have hardware acceleration of OpenVG.

SMIL is one of two means by which SVG animation can be achieved ( the other being JavaScript ).

Wikipedia prefers SVG for images such as simple maps, line illustrations, coats of arms, and flags, which generally are not like photographs or other continuous-tone images.

Changes in 4. 2. 0 included a compositing manager for Xfwm which added built-in support for transparency and drop shadows, as well as a new default SVG icon set.

Compatibility with Inkscape: Inkscape's native format is SVG, which is supported by AI, but the two implementations are not 100 % compatible.

As a result of these submissions, a new W3C working group was created, which produced Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ).

Some can show SVG format which is a standard W3C format.

* Need to be able to run text against an arbitrary curve ( though some implementation support SVG, which can be used to get around this limitation ).

The mechanism is similar to HTML's tag ( which is specific to the HTML markup language ), but the XInclude mechanism works with any XML format, such as SVG and XHTML.

On May 1, 2009 Zack Rusin from Tungsten Graphics added OpenVG state tracker to Mesa 3D, which enables SVG vector graphics to be hardware accelerated by any Gallium3D-based driver.

) Morphic is also used in Lively Kernel, an experimental UI toolkit from Sun Microsystems which is written in JavaScript and Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ).

Vector image standards which are present on the World Wide Web today that draw some similarities include Macromedia Flash and SVG.

The K700 also has a built-in email client, WAP and HTML browser which supports the SVG Tiny specification, a media player which is capable of playing MIDI, WAV, MP3 and AAC audio files and 3GP, MPEG-4 video files, and an FM radio ( which is only operable when the supplied headphones are inserted ).
