About this title

Synopsis

Scalable vector graphics (SVG) is a subset of XML that combines graphics with programming to control web images. This introduction to SVG for web designers describes its syntax and document structure, then explains how to create images with basic shapes, format text, add colors and patterns, apply filter elements, animate graphics, and work with SVG images in Illustrator and CorelDRAW.

About the Author

ELLEN PEARLMAN taught at Columbia University's Computer Technology and Applications program for over a decade. She has also taught at the Parsons School of Design in their M.A. in Digital Design Program, The New School University's Computing Center, and at the City University of New York's Baruch College Internet Program. Pearlman was also director of research for Basex, Inc., a technology analyst firm specializing in knowledge management, virtual communities, convergence, and Web services.

LORIEN HOUSE is a graphic artist and Web designer who attended Columbia University's CTA program (programming track), and discovered she liked writing code almost as much as she liked drawing pretty pictures. With SVG, she discovered she could do both at once. House has designed and built Web sites for small businesses and nonprofit organizations, and recently worked on a project to bring interactive Hudson River sonar images to the Web for the first time.
