SVG for Statistics

About SVG

SVG is a XML format to describe two-dimensional vector graphics. In the days before SVG, microsoft-led VML(Vector Markup Language) and adobe-led PGML(Precision Graphics Markup Language) was proposed to W3C. SVG1.0 was released in September 2001 by W3C as integrated format from them. The current version is SVG1.1 and its recommendation was released in January 2003. Some software and plug-ins for displaying SVG are now available. The most popular plug-in would be Adobe SVG Viewer, which works on Internet Explorer on Windows98-XP and MacOS8.6-9.1. However, the MacOS version only supports static SVG.
