New format SVG will create competition Flash?
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) - later development, than Flash. Initially developed Adobe, and then under aegis W3C it was improved by a number{line} of developers. As well as Flash, SVG uses all advantages of vector performance of objects, allowing to create the pages of the small size sated with dynamics{changes}. As he is based on XML, with his help it is possible to create dynamic to the schedule, the data for which undertake from base (Data-driven graphics). As to interactivity SVG allows to solve various problems{tasks}, using all power JavaScript, Java and Microsoft Visual Basic (it is supported Document Object Model).
There is a reasonable question: than he is better Flash? From my point of view, at SVG there are some advantages.
? As he is based on XML his code is easy for seeing{overlooking} and editing in any text editor, that, certainly, it is pleasant to programmers. With Flash such it is impossible.
? SVG can use cascade tables of styles (CSS), that allows to manipulate visualization of the data easily: it is enough to change parameters in one place, and the design will change for all site.
? Support of filters Gaussian is built - in a new format blur (degradation of borders of fast-moving objects, automatic creation of shadows), Turbulence and fractalNoise (variants zalivki object shumopodobnym contents), that relieves of search of a filling structure. Manipulating parameters of filters, you achieve even illusion of dimensions (are created a patch of light from light, blackout from the opposite party and a shadow from object).
? The text in SVG is saved in a readable kind that allows to search for phrases in contents of a SVG-file. In Flash it no, roundabout a way an insert of key phrases in the container keywords bodies of the HTML-document.
As there will be affairs with promotion of a new format - to say difficultly as in most cases potential Flash for creation of entertainment pages quite suffices. On the other hand, in design circles authority Adobe is rather high, and it can have an effect on growth of popularity SVG. The greatest activity in promotion SVG shows Adobe, offering{suggesting} for development of decisions on his base two products: Illustrator 10 and GoLive 5. Except for them, we shall note Corel with the DRAW and WebDraw, issued Jasc Software.
