A brief introduction to SVG

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and is an alternative to the immediate-mode raster graphics rendering that takes place in the HTML canvas. SVG is an XML-based graphics rendering language and should look at least somewhat familiar to anyone familiar with HTML. An SVG tag can be placed right inside of the HTML and accessed like any other DOM node. Because we are writing a tool for configuring particle emitter data, we will be adding SVG into our app for data visualization purposes.
