SVG for statistics

Thursday, 12. March 2009, 10:59:32

A customer needed some special statistics, so I had to write a small statistics tool. At first I wanted to visualize it using common graphics like GIF, but I decided to use vector graphics using the SVG format instead. The biggest advantage is, that the customer can reuse the graphics in his DTP and graphic software packages without any quality loss, no matter how big or small the final result will be. He could create posters out of it and it would still look sharp.
