Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an open, browser-based standard to create interactive web graphics with new HTML-like tags such as CIRCLE. It's part of HTML 5 family technology, while being search engine friendly; easily adoptable by JavaScript and HTML developers; exportable from tools like Adobe IllustratorTM; and straightforward to emit from server-side systems like PHP and Google App Engine. Also available in all modern browsers.
