Windows Metafile (WMF) can hold vector graphics, bitmaps, and text. It is the preferred vector format for Windows applications. WMF files are designed for 16-bit operating systems, and EMF (Extended Metafile) files are designed for 32-bit systems. WMF and EMF formats are used to store files on the Window's clipboard. Because the files refer to the Window's built-in functions, the files are not usable on other machines and operating systems. They cannot be used on standard Web pages. Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) is a vector graphics format that is in development
now and is expected to become the major graphic format for Web images
in the future. An SVG vector graphic is described in plain text within
a Web document. SVG is written in the XML formatting language that gives
it the ability to draw simple or complex shapes on the screen with straightforward
code. Many charts and diagrams shown on the Web were originally vector
graphics that were converted to bitmapped formats like GIF or JPG. SVG
is much smaller than an equivalent GIF or JPG file, so it downloads much
faster. Many predefined shapes, like rectangles and ellipses, will be
available. SVG will let the designer define far more complex shapes and
combinations of vector and bitmapped graphics. |
