SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a W3C
recommendation. It is a royalty-free vendor-neutral open standard
developed under the W3C Process and it has a strong industry support.
This standard defines an XML (Extensible Markup
Language) grammar for 2D graphics which includes features such as
transparency, arbitrary geometry, filter effects (shadows, lighting
effects, etc.), scripting and animation.
SVG drawings can be interactive and dynamic.
Animations can be defined and triggered either declaratively (i.e. by
embedding SVG animation elements in SVG content) or via scripting.
SVG files can also be visualized by external applications such as ADOBE
products, JASC or BATIK.
