Proceedings of the 2001 ACM Symposium on Document engineering, 2001•dl.acm.orgThe XML-based specification for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), sponsored by the World
Wide Web consortium, allows for compact and descriptive vector graphics for the Web. This
paper describes a set of three tools for creating SVG, either from first principles or via the
conversion of existing formats. The ab initio generation of SVG is effected from a server-side
CGI script, using a PERL library of drawing functions; later sections highlight the problems of
converting Adobe PostScript and Macromedia's Shockwave format (SWF) into SVG.
