SVG

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic. The SVG specification is an open standard that supports scripting and animation. An SVG image consists of graphical elements such as shapes, images, and text.

SVG supports three types of graphic objects:

  • Vector graphics;

  • Raster graphics;

  • Text.
