For the font-tired eyes of my bretheren.

An (slightly interesting) alternative to spreading gifs throughout our code when writing web pages

This is sort of a <japh/>, if you believe me that the code is being generated in perl.
It's a JAPH in XML/SVG, and requires the Adobe SVG plug-in to be viewed. The image is vector-based graphics and really configurable.

Notice the link embedded within the graphic? I think that this is really cool and worth making a japh just for its own sake. And I'm bored, so I want to do something creative.

Sorry, no *nux version available yet from them.

I'm using it as a test of an SVG.pm module I'm putting together to do pretty things with graphs and tables. If anyone is interested, there's a (nascent) discussion mailing list at:

svg-discuss@roasp.com.

svg mailing list instructions. (There are also links to examples there).

28 Aug 2001: Added another sample site for fun-living svg people...

A graph generator that allows xy, parametric, and data-point plotting. I think I'm going to keep on going with this. It's cool and pretty. Makes my manager's eyes happy.

--Added 31 Aug 2001:

More svg samples (server-geenrated SVG) are visible on my SVG Page (Apologies, but right now, I'm only able to support opera and ie on this page for the svg parts. NS does not seem to recognize the <embed> tag on the machine I have at work. Then again, maybe it is just the specific enterprise version at work causing trouble).

-- Nov 2001: Updated SVG.pm to V 1.13 on CPAN

particular thanks to:

1/ Peter Wainwright of Space Future (also the author of Wrox's Perl for Professionals and Professional Apache for the prototype and pod help, and for agreeing to write SVG::Parser

2/ alfred reibenschuh aka Fredo for his excellent SVG OO code which caused me to do a total rewrite of the module in September and to use framework for tag generation without external dependency on XML::Writer.
