: EXPERT TALKS: SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics
Overview
SVG is an XML-based language to describe vector graphics for the Web. While the initial acceptance of SVG at its first release in 2001 was still low, it is now supported by all major browsers. Also, (X)HTML5 describes a clear way of how SVG is integrated in modern web pages. This gives SVG a recent rise in popularity. In this talk we will explore some of the possibilities of SVG.
