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 is part of a general XML infrastructure
SVG includes a number of “extra” features:
filter operations
animations
scripting
CSS type styling
SVG Fonts
It is present on the Mobile
It is also a good fast prototyping tool for 2D graphics
can be (and is!) used for graphics courses, for example
