Gelatinous Cube – new javascript library
The Javascript library allows the use of SVG Web SVG graphics in browsers that do not support SVG directly. Under the code name “Gelatinous Cube” the developers have now released a new version which fixes some problems.
While many current browser support vector graphics format developed by the W3C SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), users with older browsers or Internet Explorer are still locked out from SVG. SVG Web seeks to remedy this situation and ensure that SVG graphics are displayed in browsers that do not bring with SVG support.
The approximately 60 Kbytes large Javascript library needs only to be inserted into a webpage. If the browser supports SVG, the graphics are displayed with the native SVG support. Lack of SVG support will force the library to make use of Flash for displaying vector graphics.
SVG Web is available under the Apache License 2.0 and is on http://code.google.com/p/svgweb for download.
