Abstract

The XML-based specification for Scalable Vector Graphics(SVG), sponsored by the World Wide Web consortium, allows for compact and descriptive vector graphics for the Web.This paper describes a set of three tools for creating SVG, either from first principles or via the conversion of existing formats. The ab initio generation of SVG is effected from a server-side CGI script, using a PERL library of drawing functions; later sections highlight the problems of converting Adobe PostScript and Macromedia's Shockwave format (SWF) into SVG.
