I guess "wrong" is a relative term here. You've got 500 planets and you have to position each circle and text individually. The text is always +15 in the y-direction. Best bet would be to do this: <g class="planet" transform="translate(500,380)"> <circle cx="0" cy="0" r="5" .../> <text x="0" y="15" ...>Planet Foo</text> </g> This is because if you move one planet's coordinates you also have to adjust its text position. Then again, if you decide to change the planet's radii, then you have to change EVERY text position. This is also very brittle. - you could generate your SVG using some PHP that iterates through each element in a table/database - you could generate your SVG using XSLT that takes each planet's description in XML and tranforms it into SVG - you could have a createPlanet() JavaScript function that generates each planet given a name and some coordinates I'd be curious to see if there's a "purely SVG" way to do something like this.
