SVG

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated). The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.
SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted and, if required, compressed. As XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but it is often more convenient to create them with drawing programs such asInkscape.
All major modern web browsers have at least some degree of support and render SVG markup directly, including Mozilla FirefoxInternet Explorer 9Google ChromeOpera and Safari. Earlier versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) do not support SVG natively.
