Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a standard for authoring and deploying two-dimensional vector graphics using XML documents. It is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation that has been authored and endorsed by a number of industry organizations. Featuring the quality and versatility of vector graphics, the simplicity and extensive tool compatibility of an XML foundation, and the dynamics of a feature-rich Document Object Model (DOM) interface, SVG brings a powerful new ingredient to DHTML projects. Combining this with some creativity—and a little ingenuity—yields a limitless canvas of interactive Web possibilities, enabling you to improve the appearance, usability, and functionality of your Web apps.
