Editing SVG Files
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a platform for two-dimensional graphics. It has two parts: an XML-based file format and a programming API for graphical applications. Some of the key features include support for shapes, text, and embedded raster graphics with many painting styles, scripting through languages such as ECMAScript, and support for animation.
SVG is a vendor-neutral, open standard that has important industry support. Companies such as Adobe, Apple, and IBM have contributed to its W3C specifications. Many documentation frameworks (including DocBook) have support for SVG by defining the graphics directly in the document.
Oxygen XML Developer plugin adds SVG support by using the Batik distribution package (an open source project developed by the Apache Software Foundation) and the default XML catalog resolves the SVG DTD.
