Synopses & Reviews
SVG Programming: The Graphical Web, authored by leading XML expert Kurt Cagle, is a complete guide to creating, using, and accessing the powerful elements of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Intermingling SVG instruction with insightful discussion of key topics such as coordinate systems and attributes, transformations, animation, and image generation, Cagle provides readers with a comprehensive guide to making the most of this rich graphical language.
Initially, readers are presented with an overview of SVG features and concepts that offers numerous examples intended to provide a sound introduction to language implementations. Following this brief introduction, the book delves directly into the heart of SVG development, covering integral SVG attributes such as transformations, shapes, text manipulation, and the incorporation of images, gradients, patterns, and masks. The later chapters are devoted to topics that demonstrate the true power of this XML-based technology, offering valuable insight into animation, interactivity and DOM, filters, and automated graphic generation.
SVG Programming: The Graphical Web offers professionals what they need to know to access the next evolutionary step in web graphical presentation: to create faster, more efficient, and more usable web applications on a level heretofore impossible.

Synopsis:
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 to 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.
