SVG renderers

Right now there are two significant renderers, the one from Adobe and the one in Firefox.

http://www.croczilla.com/~alex/fosdem2003/

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 has SVG built in. It can also still use the Adobe plugin. See and http://www.croczilla.com/svg/

Mapserver and SVG

I can change a .map file to generate SVG as output. See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/svg-howto/?searchterm=SVG for an example on how to do this.

What does using SVG output buy me?

See my demo at http://mapserver.wildsong.biz/svg/

It's broken right now because I want it to correctly generate gzip compressed images. Working on it... it appears to be a problem in the 4.6 sources. 05-July-2006
