Who or what is SVG?

SVG Stands for Scalable Vector Graphics.  It's an XML based graphic description language, with the graphics specified in a vector (i.e. lines, circles, characters, etc) format rather than in a raster or pixewl by pixel format, so SVG file can contain a lot of information in a few bytes, and can be used to produce images of different widths and heights from the same source.

Here's a piece of SVG which draws a green box in a white frame, and adds the text "SVG Rools?"

Code:

<svg width="400" height="400"> <rect x="30" y="30" width="340" height="340" style="stroke: black; fill: #339933" /> <text x="60" y="250" style="font-size: 40pt">SVG Rools?</text> </svg>
