Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML -based vector image format for defining two-dimensional graphics, having support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium since 1999. SVG images are defined in a vector graphics format and stored in XML text files.
Wikipedia:SVG help. Scalable Vector Graphics is a commonly used file format for providing a geometrical description of an image using basic objects such as labels, circles, lines, curves and polygons. An image can be reduced or enlarged to an arbitrary size, and will not suffer image data loss, nor will it become pixelated.
Website. xmlgraphics.apache.org /batik. Batik is a pure- Java library that can be used to render, generate, and manipulate SVG graphics. IBM supported the project and then donated the code to the Apache Software Foundation, where other companies and teams decided to join efforts. Batik provides a set of core modules that provide functionality to:
Use a program like Inkscape (free), Gimp (free) or Adobe Illustrator (not free) to read the SVG file and export to PNG. Use a website like cloudconvert.com (free) to upload the SVG file, convert, and download the raster file. In your browser, "print" the SVG image to PDF, and use a program (like Preview on a Mac) to export from PDF to PNG.
File:HTML source code example.svg. Size of this PNG preview of this SVG file: 315 × 250 pixels. Other resolutions: 303 × 240 pixels | 605 × 480 pixels | 968 × 768 pixels | 1,280 × 1,016 pixels | 2,560 × 2,032 pixels. This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Information from its description page there is shown below.
This image needs to be converted to the SVG format. Once that is done, it should be moved to Wikimedia Commons in accordance with Wikipedia's image policy. Once the image is improved, see moving files to Commons for information on how to proceed. If you can not convert to SVG, go ahead and move to the Commons anyway. See Move-to-commons assistant.
SVG-edit is a cross-browser web-based, JavaScript -driven web tool, and has also been made into browser addons, such as an addon for Firefox, a Chrome extension, and a standalone widget for Opera. [1] There's also an experimental SVG editing extension on MediaWiki that uses SVG-edit. [2]
MediaWiki converts the SVG image to a PNG image. The SVG format is the working format of the stored image so that people can more easily convert images for use in different languages. If you're using a browser other than Internet Explorer, just keep clicking the image and you'll eventually get the full-size image, which will be the SVG version.
