Read an update today on the IEBlog site about the initial support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) in Internet Explorer 9.
Some pretty cool stuff, like being able to define SVG inline in HTML5, but the example they gave did make me LOL, they have used it to create SVG circle to highlight…..giant otters !
Admittedly, given the power and flexibility this offers, their choice of exmaple could have been anything, but still…..priceless :o)
I suspect I’m going to find this all rather useful when it becomes official and mainstream, as it’s a pain when trying to highlight stuff in documentation at work written in html. Now I can include an image of a screenshot and use inline SVG to draw shapes around bits I need to draw attention to, as opposed to my normal efforts which look much like below :o/
