Google is pushing the Web vector graphics technology - Shouting Watch - Shouting Web blog

People have been suggesting a revamp of Web graphics technology for at least 10 years, and Google believes the time has come. Google hosted the SVG Open 2009 conference yesterday, October 2, to discuss issues related to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Web graphics standard. With the support of many browser vendors and Web developers for SVG, this vector graphics standard for use on the Web is likely to become mainstream in the next few years. As Brad Neuberg, a development engineer at Google, said at the conference, new programming standards are difficult to form, but they do come, he said, first they are ignored, then hyped, then declared dead, and finally found that they are the real problem solving technology. Vector graphics use lines, curves, geometry, and color values to represent graphics, while dot-plots such as JPG and GIF use dot-plots to describe graphics, the former has a smaller file size, the same scaling quality, for example, we can look at the SVG version of the Wikipedia logo, even if enlarged to the size of the entire page, the quality does not decline.
