Scalable Vector Graphics Format (SVG)

The Scalable Vector Graphics file format is an Internet standard vector format for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. SVG supports vector graphic shapes, images, and text. For more information about this format please refer to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website http://www.w3c.org.

The default extension used by this format is: SVG.

This file format is supported by Adobe SVG Viewer, CorelDraw! 10.0, JASC WebDraw and Apache Batik SVG browser.

This file format does not support layers, but it will save embedded raster objects.

When saving SVG files, the images are stored externally and a reference to the image(s) is added to the file. Use FILE_SVG_EMBED_IMAGES to save raster images embedded inside the SVG file.

File constants associated with this file format are:

Constant	Write Support	Description
FILE_SVG	Yes	[247] Scalable Vector Graphics Format.
FILE_SVG_EMBED_IMAGES	Yes	[289] Scalable Vector Graphics Format with embedded raster images.

When SVG files are rasterized, they are 24 BPP.
