Résumé :
Leading expert Kurt Cagle gives a complete guide to the creation of powerful Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Intermingling SVG instruction with insightful discussion of key topics such as coordinate systems and attributes, transformations, animation, and image generation, readers are provided with a comprehensive guide to making the most of this exciting new Web standard.
Cagle goes directly into the heart of SVG development after a brief introduction of the SVG standard. Readers are presented with an overview of SVG fundamentals and usage and given numerous examples as a practical introduction to language implementation. This material sets the stage for later chapters, which expand upon this basic material to introduce integral SVG concepts such as transformations, shapes, text manipulation, and the incorporation of images, gradients, patterns and masks. The final chapters demonstrate the true power of SVG, offering insight into animation, interactivity, filters, and automated graphic generation....
