Raster images have an intrinsic size, the number of pixels. When scaling SVG, you scale based on the explicit size the document states. So 50% is half of the explicit document size. They wouldn't be called scalable vector graphics if you couldn't scale them externally. ;) On Oct 26, 2007, at 9:41 PM, Devi Web Development wrote: > While you could say a raster image has an intrinsic size (I have no > idea what the formal definition of this phrase is), SVGs *explicitly* > state their size.
