I have done quite some work with SVG lately. It is very powerful, especially if you combine it with the 4D XML DOM commands. I have been able to draw a complete map that contains pictures, objects like rectangles, ellipses, polygons and even custom made objects with specific attributes.
A good place to start is the tech note SVG Area which lets you create, edit and move basic shapes. (I’m sorry, I couldn’t find the exact tech note reference) Though I know that some developers have built their own calendar into SVG, I would preferably use hmCal. Very solid and decent support.
