File Formats: Scalable Vector Graphics Format (SVG)
Show in webframe
The Scalable Vector Graphics file format is an Internet standard vector format for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. SVG supports vector graphic shapes, images, and text. For more information about this format please refer to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website http://www.w3c.org.
This file format is not supported in the non-vector toolkits. Read support and write support for this format are provided in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro toolkit and are unlocked when the Vector features are unlocked.
The default extension used by this format is: SVG.
This file format is supported by Adobe SVG Viewer, CorelDraw! 10.0, JASC WebDraw and Apache Batik SVG browser.
This file format does not support layers, but it will save embedded raster objects.
When saving SVG files, the images are stored externally and a reference to the image(s) is added to the file.
The file constants associated with this file format are:
| Constant | Read Support | Write Support | Description |
| Svg | Yes | Yes | Scalable Vector Graphics Format. |
When SVG files are rasterized, they are 24 BPP.
