what the heck!! that is so wild, mind blowing, i thought the main difference between raster graphics and vector graphics was the quality but i didn’t think about it too deeply.

i had no idea svg files actually used html code and pretty much could be modified using only text and amazing code woa!!! this opens up the possibility for so many things on linux i think.

for example, on a linux distro, we could modify the desktop environment and make it waaaaay lighter by getting rid of jpg or png icons and just using pure svg on it.

svg can be given a lot of attributes like movement, mouse hovering, change color, change anything. and most svg files are still under a megabyte. wow… please let me know other fun facts about svg or eps files. i really like doing graphic design on linux and inkscape.

    If you have an SVG image you can either embed it directly on the website, or link it using img tag. Whatever the case, there’s no need to export it to PNG.

    And yes, that will likely result in a smaller website and furthermore images which can scale smoothly.
