Comparison of layout engines (SVG)

This article is a comparison of layout engine support for Scalable Vector Graphics.

SVG version support


SVG	1.1	Tiny (SVGT)
		Basic (SVGB)
		Full
	1.2	Tiny
sXBL
XBL 2.0

Gecko general overview notes

SVG — Firefox 1.5 and 2.0 support a subset of SVG 1.1.

SVG in Firefox 2.0

Gecko 1.9 will support many more features.

KHTML general overview notes

KHTML — Does not have any native image support. This is by design: in Konqueror, multimedia files are handled by KParts. The KDE project also developed a SVG plugin for Konqueror, known as KSVG.

Presto general overview notes

SVG Basic — Presto 9.0 has added quite large, but incomplete SVGB support.

SVG 1.1 support

Comparison of various Scalable Vector Graphics element support.

Note: IE does not support SVG natively, but requires third-party plugins.
