Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny 1.2 Specification

SVG Tiny 1.2 describes a full-featured vector graphics language suitable for both mobile and desktop use. It features both scripted and declarative animation, synchronized with video and audio, and is implemented on modern cellphones.

Mobile SVG Profiles: SVG Tiny and SVG Basic

SVG Tiny and Basic are entry-level vector graphics specifications, widely implemented on earlier generations of mobile phones and adopted by Java JSR-226. SVG Tiny 1.1 has no scripting support. Implementations of these profiles are shifting to the more fully featured SVG Tiny 1.2 specification.


2003-01-14  
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification

SVG Tiny 1.1 is the foundational vector graphics specification implemented by most modern desktop browsers and by graphical authoring tools.
