I've designed a feature of our commercial network management service, Masergy Network Analyst 2.0, using dojo.gfx, and we're very happy with the results. While the product itself is available only to customers, I've posted some screenshots at: http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/fG8zN3 While we've used SVG internally for a number of years for our own traffic engineering applications, we could never push a solution to our customers that required a plugin, applet, etc. When dojo.gfx reached maturity (recent builds include text handling), we decided to give it a go, and it's been great. I miss being able to pass declarative SVG document fragments and just load those into the DOM, as we now have to use dojo's client-side API to modify the canvas, but it's pratically miraculous how much functionality works on both IE and Firefox, plus Opera and Webkit builds. Both firefox and IE have some marginal performance for large DOM trees of SVG documents, but it's manageable. What I've done with dojo.gfx is to wrap the presentation and data binding logic into our own javascript objects representing logical visual elements. Firefox and IE respect a large amount of similar CSS for both SVG and HTML, so styling can be done with external stylesheets. As I say, we (and our customers) are very happy with the results.
