Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is one of the most exciting specifications emerging from the multitude of W3C XML vocabularies. SVG enables the creation of resolution- and media-independent graphics in a text-based format that permits integration with XHTML, XSL and XSLT, XLink, DOM and other W3 specifications, including support for CSS, scripting, and animation. As you can see from the software listed below, there are a number of ways to use SVG today. See our Sept. 1999 article for a gentle introduction.
