SVG is the Scalable Vector Graphics format that has been developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. It combines an XML-based language with an extended PostScript imaging model (adding transparency and antialiasing). This category tracks the development of the SVG specification, as well as implementions of SVG that are being developed.
