Javascript and SVG

This blog has so far been photography focused, but as my bio page states, I’m also a graphic designer and frontend web developer, so it makes sense to post about my other interests. This post, if you couldn’t tell from the title, is about web development.

In my free time lately, I’ve been exploring the vector graphics capabilities of modern browsers, namely the SVG (scaleable vector graphics) format. The pie chart above is the result of my first experiment, using the Raphael JSย Javascript library to dynamically generate and interact with SVG. I’m impressed so far, especially because Raphael makes vector graphics work in IE 7 and 8, which do not support SVG.
