Comments

SVG is a markup language for describing two-dimensional graphics applications and images, and a set of related graphics script interfaces. SVG 1.1 is a W3C Recommendation and is the most recent version of the full specification. The second edition - SVG 1.1 - includes clarifications and minor improvements based on developer feedback. Most of commonly used browsers support SVG format by some level. The specification for this format is available on W3C web site:
