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. SVG supports scripting and animation. The vector image is composed of a fixed set of shapes.

SVG allows three types of graphic objects:

  • Vector graphics;

  • Raster graphics;

  • Text.
