Did the pictures have to be in SVG format?
Is this only a problem for those who routinely use SVG?
A problem how ?
I *like* SVG since you can zoom without pixellation effects,
and spent an afternoon writing code to screen-dump the HP8568
into SVG format for the very same reason.
I like SVG for the same reason..
Not all browsers provide the same flexibility in viewing the data, or
are as "smart" when plotting a very dense set of lines: say you've got
30,000 datapoints which are individual vectors... if you were displaying
this in a tiny window that is a few hundred pixels, a smart rendering
engine would do some "collapsing" of the vectors, which would make
rendering faster.
There are smart and less smart renderers of .eps and .pdf too..
I wish that some of the more popular tools (Matlab, Octave) would
directly export their plots as svg. For all I know the latest version
might do that, I should check.
