Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

About Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
IES has adopted Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as a graphics file format. SVG is a web development language based on XML. SVG, a W3C recommendation (web standard), enables web developers and designers to create dynamically generated, high-quality graphics from real-time data with precise structural and visual control. Through the use of SVG, we are able to offer dynamically generated, high-quality, scalable, interactive graphics from real-time data. Although many SVG viewers are available, IES recommends the Adobe SVG Viewer 3.0 (or above) as a stable, well-supported viewer.
