Unless I'm mistaken, most turtles simply change the state of a bitmapped canvas and have trouble even reading single pixels after that (e.g. what color is 300,201 -- not easy to know). Moving to SVG would be like moving to Postscript for output. Non-trivial. I agree with Jeff, one could develop an application wherein turtles to add to an SVG file under the hood, allowing output that scales. On Googling, I found this project that was (is?) moving in that direction: http://codeboje.de/pysvg-meets-trundle-turle/ Kirby
