I have searched the archives of this forum, but I am unable to find the answer. I want to put SVG graphs--dozens of them--(bar charts or line graphs) into cells of an HTML-type table. I think it may be possible to generate a single XML file with an <svg> and </svg> tag pair for each graph. But I am unable to find the right header and trailer tags to get my browser to recognize both SVG and HTML (XML?). For me, the promise of SVG is doing just this: putting lots of small graphs into a normal ASCII hypertext file. Doing the same thing with raster files creates a file management and space consumption problem. The ability for a single program (such as C++, Perl, or my favorite, SAS) to crank out mixed text and graphics in a single, text-encoded file will take us to a new frontier in data visualization. "Investigations" of a computer performance, financial, or other numerical anomaly can be reduced to just a few mouse clicks. The need to laboriously generate large numbers of separate files containing plots, histograms, and so forth, to support an investigation will be dramatically reduced.
