*** Gill (GNOME Illustrations ) and Eye of GNOME (GNOME image viewer and organizer) are the most recent additions to the suite of productivity applications for GNOME. Gill is particularly interesting as its native file format is the Web Consortium's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Internally, the application has been organized around a DOM (Also a W3C standard). Gill is still in its infancy, but given that it is based on a strong foundation, it is already a fairly powerful display. *** Apache Batik SVG Toolkit Any Java 21.1 rc2 2001-Sep-10 Free, with source in java Includes SVG browser, Java to SVG generator, SVG renderer, truetype to SVG font converter *** RO IT Systems GmbH SVG.pm Any perl5 compatible system. tested on solaris, RH & > SuSE linux, and win32 Beta Version 0.31 2001-Oct-10 Currently Available on CPAN and at the RO IT FTP server A 100% object-oriented Perl 5 library for generating stand-alone or in-line SVG contents. SVG.pm claims to support 100% of the SVG 1.0 Recommendation, with embedded SVG, SMIL and foreignObject support. Written by Ronan Oger *** KSVG is an implementation of the World Wide Web Consortium's Scalable Vector Graphics recommendation. It is designed to be a plugin for the Konqueror web browser. so inline viewing is easy *** plus, noted lots of mention of svg libraries so svg can integrate with gimp, but no specific mention of svg plug in for gimp, yet.. so i feel we just need to wait a few weeks, and we'll have svg design tools ready to rock-n-roll. :-) n
