Lang Zhichao, a website construction expert in Nanjing, is constantly exploring new ways to design and provide truly flexible website displays. As we deepen our understanding of graphic design to create a modern website system unrelated to the screen, we set the style of SVG files and write scripts to obtain more online graphics unrelated to resolution.
What is SVG?
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) uses XML format to define vector based graphics on the Web. A vector figure is a figure drawn according to geometric characteristics. A vector can be a point or a line. Vector graphics are mostly geometric graphics, which can be magnified without color change or blurring. They are often used in the design of patterns, signs, characters, etc.
Features of SVG
Compared with JPEG and GIF images, SVG images have the following advantages:
1. SVG images can be created and edited using any text editor, while images in JPEG and GIF formats must be created and edited using special image editing software.
2. SVG images are easier to compress, search (for mapping), index, and script.
3. When the SVG image is scaled, the image does not deform.
4. High quality SVG images can be printed at any resolution.
The similarities and differences between SVG and Canvas are as follows:
1. SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional images in XML; Canvas draws two-dimensional images in JavaScript programs.
2. In SVG, each drawn figure will be recorded as an object. When the attributes of the SVG object change, the browser will automatically redraw the figure.
3. Canvas images are drawn pixel by pixel. Once the image is drawn, the browser will forget it. If the position of the image changes, the scene should be redrawn, including the objects covered by the image.
How should we apply SVG?
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) enables my team to create clear, accurate and dynamic graphics and graphic applications for logos, illustrations, backgrounds, icons and text. Why? All modern browsers support the file formats that their XML supports. In this way, my team can present content that can access your visitors without ugly compatibility problems.
What does our use of SVG mean for you and your website redesign? SVG is easier to view on any device, which means it is the preferred way to build a responsive website system. Your visitors will see clearer icons, vivid color schemes and easy animations. Some of our customers recently switched their icons to SVG to achieve their built-in responsiveness.
The traditional choice of web design and website development teams is to use PNG/RAV files to create usually dim and damaging icons, while using SVG files can create clear and smooth images for high-definition screens of any size. Compared with PNG/RAW, the biggest advantage of styling and scripting SVG files is clear and smooth quality. The quality will not be lost due to the screen from desktop to tablet to smartphone. Each screen size displays the best graphics.
In addition to cross browser support and built-in responsiveness, SVG can also help us reduce HTTP requests. This means that we can reduce the bandwidth sufficiently to ensure faster loading of parts, thus reducing the delay in trying to download backgrounds, icons, fonts and even animations. Faster loading time means more humane experience and better SEO effect.
This is just another challenge for creating a powerful, dynamic and flexible web system for your online business. When starting to design and develop responsive corporate websites, please consider logos, street maps, graphics, complex interfaces and even simple online games using SEO friendly and extensible SVG file format.
