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 to reproduce 2D graphics.
Scaleable means the graphics can be scaled in size (made larger) without loss of quality. This is not true with raster graphics.
SVG's are usually generated from "drawing" software such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
However, SVG files can even be generated manually or programmatically.
SVG's can also be interactive or animated.
