Question

Its been a couple of years since I used SVG. At the time I looked at sample SVG files to see how to code basic stuff, and hand coded with some parts generated by small ad hoc programs. The images were geometric diagrams. My concern at the time was that many people use Internet Explorer as a browser, and it does NOT support SVG. The plugin, by Adobe, that allows IE to read SVG is probably not installed on many computers. And Adobe has now dropped all support of that plugin. To me, this meant, that to make the stuff generally viewable I needed to convert the SVG to fixed size bitmap, e.g. png files. That seemed to defeat the whole purpose of SVG, which for me was to allow users to zoom in on fine details of a figure without loosing resolution. [Sorry that doesn't really answer your question, but it seemed important to mention my concerns with SVG. If the situation is now different, I would be interested to know that.]
