Chapter 7. Creating SVG with Perl
The SVG specification describes several more elements than those
described in Chapter 6. In particular,
the animation tags allow you to animate SVG elements, and the <script> element can be used to attach
JavaScript code to an SVG document. This chapter starts with a sample
SVG application that generates slide presentations from custom XML
templates, and then develops two animation examples: a simple bouncing
ball using the animation tags, and an animation graphic using JavaScript
to dynamically reposition objects within the image. The remainder of the
chapter presents tips for inserting Unicode strings in SVGs and a
tutorial on using the XSLT transformation language to convert arbitrary
XML formats into SVG.
