SVG
Format type — Vector
Operating systems — Windows
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML that allows for three types of graphic objects: vector graphic shapes (for example, paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images, and text. A complete description of Scalable Vector Graphics can be found at www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/.
Arbortext Editor displays and publishes SVG images with the following limitations:
Limitation
Description
File Extension
SVG image files must be named with an extension of .svg. Arbortext Editor will not recognize files with other extensions (such as .xml) as valid SVG files.
Inline Markup
Inline SVG markup is not supported. Like other graphic formats Arbortext Editor supports, SVG images are inserted in SGML and XML documents using the appropriate graphic tags (for example, inlinegraphic, mediaobject, and so on).
Height and Width
The top-level tag in the SVG file must have height and width attributes specified as values greater than 0.
Backgrounds
Arbortext Editor displays and publishes SVG images (for print) with transparent backgrounds as having white backgrounds. Transparent backgrounds are maintained when publishing for screen display.
Animation and Scripted Behaviour
Arbortext Editor does not support animation and other scripted behavior of SVG images.
External Resources
Arbortext Editor does not support external links in SVG images by default. If your documents have SVG images with external links, then you must set one of the following pr+
eferences to allow the links to work. You can use Arbortext Command Language command setallowsvgexternalresources={on|off}. Alternatively, you can click Tools > Preferences > Advanced and turn on the preference allowsvgexternalresources.
