So what is the big deal?

• Q: Is SVG any more than “PostScript in XML”?
  • (or: is SVG interesting for a specialist in Computer Graphics?)
• A: very much so!
  • SVG includes a number of “extra” features:
    • filter operations
    • animations
    • scripting
    • CSS type styling
    • SVG Fonts
  • it is also a good fast prototyping tool for 2D graphics
    • can be (and is!) used for graphics courses, for example
