Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a document format (similar to HTML) to reproduce 2D graphics.

"Scaleable" means the graphics can be scaled in size (made larger) without loss of quality.

SVG files can be interactive or animated. They are usually generated from application software such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.

However, SVG files can even be generated manually or programmatically.
