Three SVG Articles on XML.com

The three headline articles on XML.com all concern SVG: The Visual Display of Quantitative XML (Fabio Arciniegas A.) transforms data using XSLT (and uses JavaScript for interaction that I have shown can be done with intrinsic animation); Server-Side SVG (J. David Eisenberg) describes using Java with Batik to serve SVG graphics, with fall-back to JPEG or PNG should the user’s browser not support SVG; Doing that Drag Thang (Antoine Quint) gives a system for making draggable objects in SVG (using EcmaScript); this is the second in his series, which starts with Digging Animation, where he compares SVG with SWF (Macromedia Flash) and shows how to suplicate a simple interactive animation.

Patriotism!

As we come up to the Jubilee weekend, I have dug out my little Australian flag in case any flag-waving is required. Typing Australian Flag in to Google finds Ausflag, a campaign for a new Australian flag (I quite like this one), and The Australian National Flag Association, dedicated to celebrating Flag Day (the anniversary of the first hoisting of the Australian flag on 3 September 1901). I had a look and found a cool new New Zealand flag as well.
