SVG Explorations

SVG seems to have got buried under all the hype about the HTML5 canvas. But it's really quite cool and I'm surprised more sites aren't using it for dynamic content.


Part of the problem seems to be early and inconsistent implementation. A lot of the demos that are floating about the web are old, uninspiring and bland. Some good examples can be found on the raphael.js site and a decent example of a full page built with SVG is emacsformacosx.com.


I've built a small example using CSS styling and JavaScript mouseover events to randomly rotate each path in an image I "traced" using Illustrator.


Take a look. (Hint: Try to click the pink element!)


Update: Apparently Google Graphs(a spreadsheet option) are rendered with SVG. Cool!
