JD15DE - SVG Masterclass ( here be dragon )
Von Marco Dings
Scalable vector graphics (SVG) have become increasingly popular over the last years. They offer small file-size and crystal clear graphics with the same source file on devices from UHD displays to smart-watches. SVG's have a good adaption for contemporary browsers (http://caniuse.com/#search=svg). Graphics through SVG's can be styled using CSS and animated using javascript, svg can be used to apply Photoshop like filters to your images and more. However "Here be dragons" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_be_dragons). To take full advantage of their possibilities the designer and the developer have to agree on a certain way of working and some rules, and styling/manipulating is far from trivial when we go beyond the basics.
