Hi Rick, I have to say I disagree with you about the Visio SVG export. Have you tried exporting SVG from other applications? On a whole, the exported SVG out of Visio is very simple and clean comparitavely. Mind you, there are those bits in the Visio namespace that is used for roundtripping. However, it is relatively trivial to write and XSLT to remove these. You may be misinterpretting the unintelligbleness with say an embedded raster graphic? I have first hand knowledge of the export and have no problems with it from extensive experience.
Cheers, Alastair PS. Any program that exports SVG is a win for the SVG community as a whole. Just as any browser that supports SVG is also a win. --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Bullotta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Visio's SVG export is, ahem, "not that great".
