Adobe SVG Tutorial - The tutorials presented here are designed as an overview and introduction to SVG features and functionality. The purpose is to provide enough information so that you, as an SVG creator, will have a basic understanding of the format's potentials for development. Hopefully, these pages will even inspire you to try developing your own SVG demos. Almost all of the graphics here were developed using Adobe® Illustrator® 9.0. Many of the illustrations also incorporate simple JavaScript functions that the user is encouraged to explore and reuse.

A Common Design for Vector Graphics GUI Components - There are many GUI components available which can be used to display vector graphics and animation. Most of them are dedicated to particular classes of vector images such as graphs, business diagrams, SVG images, geographic maps, technical drawings, and financial charts. Unfortunately, it is not yet always possible to find a suitable component for a particular application which satisfies price, licensing, scalability, performance, stability, feature availability, and other requirements. And if one wants to add vector-based visualization to an existing application, additional requirements of integration ability arise.
An Introduction to SVG - If you are excited by the idea of Flash, then you are going to love SVG. If you haven't heard of SVG, it's about time you did. Think Adobe Photoshop meets Flash meets XML. SVG or Scalable Vector Graphics is an open standard language proposed by the W3C for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML.
Available graphics formats, and hints on publication-quality graphics - The MPD provides these output formats for graphs - PNG is the standard format for web display - EPS and SVG are intended for pre-press work and are of publication-quality.

Creating Scalable Vector Graphics with Perl - Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a compact XML language to describe two-dimensional images. With SVG you can create extremely sophisticated images complete with paths, layering, masks, opacity control, animation, scriptable interactivity, and a small host of other advanced features -- all using nothing more than your favorite text editor or XML tools. This month we talk about creating SVG documents quickly and simply using Perl and David Megginson's XML::Writer module.

Powerpoint and SVG - Although this articles addresses the use of SVG with and within PowerPoint - a rather long introduction to SVG preludes the actual content. This is because SVG is not rather widespread as yet - and many readers would benefit from a basic introduction. If you are already SVG-aware, please feel free to skip the introductory paragraphs.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) : Webreference - As so many recent languages are, SVG is an XML-based language that allows developers to describe the representation of graphical images to appear on a Web site in XML-like terms. Unlike binary images which can only be read by program code, SVG files include the actual instructions necessary for the creation of Web images that scale gracefully and can be integrated within XML or even XHTML files. Additionally, SVG files can be altered, if necessary, via standard text editors

Scalable Vector Graphics SVG - Online SVG course
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) - An overview and introduction to Scalable Vector Graphics
Scalable Vector Graphics: The Art is in the Code - One of the most exciting developing technologies is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG is exciting because it offers Web developers a method to create and animate images through an XML programming language.
SVG Scalable Vector Graphics - One of the most exciting technologies to appear in recent years is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). In developing for the Web, we've become used to JPEG and GIF files and Flash animations. Dynamic HTML has also been used for animation and achieving a high degree of interactivity. However, SVG has the potential to surpass these formats and create a whole new style of graphics and dynamic page generation. This potential is due to several factors:
SWF Is Not Flash (and Other Vectored Thoughts) - Vector graphics, once the sole domain of desktop publishing types, is now becoming increasingly more popular with Web designers and developers. They use vectors to pack their graphics and animations into small chunks of data using the famous Macromedia Flash authoring application. Combined with a bit of sound and creative coding, the popular "Flash movies" or "SWFs" have become the most widely used format for delivery of rich media.r.
SVG and Flash as the same species - We can name several technologies for displaying 2D interactive vector graphics on the web however, two names rises among other contenders. These are the Macromedia’s Shock Wave Flash (SWF) and the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Unlike Flash SVG is not for sale.
The Creative Toolbox: Open-Standard Upstart SVG Takes on Macromedia's SWF - The SVG vector-based file format means more freedom for designers and a faster Web for everyone. Now is the time to learn more.
W3C Scalable Vector Graphics tutorial in (PDF) - The W3C provides a 76 pages tutorial on SVGl in PDF format.
Web Based Vector Graphics - What are SVG and Flash graphics? How are these graphics created? How does a browser display these types of Web-based vector graphics?
Scalable Vector Graphics Color Names - This page shows the 147 color names defined by the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Specification and swatches of colors that are defined using those names. These colors are sorted by their color name. This is just one of the ways you can define colors in HTML attributes and in Cascading Style Sheets; you can use a quick reference table to help you choose from among the many color tables available.
Using Animation PNG Files - Most of the images I want to display on my website are vector based. I'm currently using JPG/GIF files, but what woukd be the best format for future use? I've considered Flash and PDF but I don't like the idesa of people having to download proprietary software to see my images. I know that W3C has established a standard for vectors but what do you think would be the most likely browser standard for showing graphics in the near future?
What is SVG? - SVG (or Scalable Vector Graphics), is based on XML and has been over 2-years in development by the W3C. It's supposed to allow users to see Web graphics faster, scalable and (even cooler) makes these graphics searchable. SVG can contain both raster and vector graphics - viewable as either a standalone document type, or embedded inside HTML or XML documents (using the <embed> tag). Pretty neat so far huh?
What is Vector Graphics ActiveX - Vector Graphics ActiveX is the professional graphics solution for creating business and technical drawings and the most powerful for today. It provides over 1000 methods, properties and events and is fully object oriented. Developers get full control of all objects at run time and can process graphic documents, analyze and visualize any kind of the real processes, create interactive GIS-systems and CAD-systems.
Working with SVG in Adobe Illustrator - You can save artwork in SVG format using the Save command and the Save for Web command. (See Saving artwork in an SVG format and Optimizing images.) How you set up your artwork in Illustrator will impact the resulting SVG file. Keep in mind the following guidelines:
As Graphic Designers, we are all creative individuals. I thought that most of you would love to know about all of the fantastic online drawing and painting tools that are available online. Not only are they fun, but they are also quite useful for sketching out some of our ideas. Some of these tools can also be used as design collaboration tools to use with your co-workers, clients, friends, teachers, and family. Enjoy and don't hesitate to send me links to online drawing tools that I might have missed.
