I posted this a long time ago, but somehow it is still relevant: Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter.
XML!Īrg! Why!? What's next, raster images in XML? I can see it now. On a whim, I opened it up in a text editor, and what did I find? DUM DUM DUUUMMMMM. The file just seemed way too big for the data it contained.
I thought it was pretty neat that I could resize the image without losing visual quality, but I was rather put off by the size. On a serious note, someone once submitted some art to an open source video game project I run in SVG format. Why can't they be standards-compliant for once? Will be interesting to see what is being used in another few years.Īs usual, Microsoft ignores the standards and does its own thing. Of course, there is the little matter of Flash being well understood by developers who've got lots of experience, and the large installed userbase. Now that SVG (or the MS version) is being incorporated in IE, I could see it being useful for these type of things. So in the end we went with Flash - not for the site design, but for interactive physics examples that helped the user to understand why different design decisions gave their ships different properties. Also, no one else was really using SVG at the time. I also concluded at that time that it would be too hard to get SVG working in the users' browsers (Netscape 6.0 had just come out - it supposedly supported SVG, but damned if I could get it to work properly). I found a few really cool examples, but nothing really useful.

The idea was that they wouldn't have to spend so much time teaching users how to use their software.Īnyway, I was looking at designing interactive websites and had to investigate a whole lot of new technologies, SVG among them.

Two years ago I was doing some research for a software company (they made CAD software adapted for ship design with lots of extra features) who wanted to put their product tutorials online and create a feedback system. SVG (now a W3 standard for 3 years) was itself billed as a Flash-killer some years ago
