SVG References
The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium provides vector graphics and animation in an XML-based format. I stumbled upon this format a few years ago and found it to be easy to generate from a Perl script. This allowed me to quickly generate nice graphics from data I was already manipulating in Perl.
Over the years I've been working with SVG, I have found it to be much more powerful than I had originally thought. I've written dynamic applications, games, and some eye-candy. Some of this is available in the projects section of my website.
Below are some references for this interesting little XML application.
