SVG in Internet Explorer, SVG Web and Raphaël

SVG, the Scalable Vector Graphics standard, has been held-up hostage of its lack of support in Internet Explorer for the last 6 years since SVG 1.1 became a W3C recommendation.

Google is now fixing this with SVG Web, a Javascript library that emulates SVG but it still requires the Flash plugin.

The other option is to use Raphaël, an outstanding Javascript dynamic vector graphic library that relies on SVG in SVG-capable web browsers and VML in IE. Raphaël which is currently at version 0.8.6 is growing fast as the solution for Plugin-free vector graphics on the web. I use Raphaël for my current project for dynamic charts.
