ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / SVGFormat Class
Members Example Version

SVGFormat Class
Represents a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) object that can be used to export a MapView, MapFrame, or a Layout.
Syntax
public class SVGFormat : ExportFormat 
Remarks
SVG is an XML-based file format that has been specifically designed for viewing on the Web. SVG can contain both vector and raster information. This is a good choice for displaying maps on a web page because it is rescalable and more easily edited than raster files. SVG has been gaining in popularity since the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) selected it as their standard vector Web format. Some Web browsers may require a plug-in to view SVG files; older browsers may not be able to view SVG files at all.
