SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML. It is a 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. Where do I find the SVG specification? The SVG specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/.
