Scalable Vector Graphics
SVG is the W3c approved, XML based, markup language for describing two-dimensional graphics and graphical applications in XML.
Native support for SVG is now available for all major modern Web browsers.
Implementation
The export to SVG format has been implemented using JFree.org's JFreeSVG library. The JFreeSVG jars are included in the distributed plugin.
Compilation
If you want to compile the plugin from the source code, you need to install Maven, which uses the assembly plugin to build the binary jar with all dependencies included.
Example
You need an SVG enabled browser to view the SVG files produced by JaxoDraw. If you want to test if your browser supports SVG, here is an example, and here is what you should see.
