## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
The **svgio** module is used to read **SVG** (Scalable Vector Graphics[1])
|
|
|
|
|
files. It is an XML based format for vector graphics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module contains `svgio/source/svgreader` which is used for embedding an
|
|
|
|
|
SVG file with "Insert -> Picture -> From File".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SVG is an open standard provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

## How does it work?
|
|
|
|
|
`svgio` module uses sax for reading xml and turns it into `drawinglayer` primitives.
|
|
|
|
|
The rendering is done via `drawinglayer` primitives. For more information, you should
|
|
|
|
|
refer to [drawinglayer](../drawinglayer) documentation.
