- Vector graphics markup language
A vector graphics markup language is a markup language that describes an image at a higher level than a bitmap -- in terms of lines, curves, and other vector graphics primitives.
The list of vector graphics markup languages includes
* Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM/WebCGM)
* DrawingML
* Encapsulated PostScript
* Myv vector format
* the POV-Ray markup language
* Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
* Vector Markup Language (VML)
* Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML)
* X3D
* ReGIS
Like other markup languages,vector graphics markup languagescan be edited in two ways:
* by hand with a text editor, such as notepad
* graphically in a more-or-less WYSIWYG environment, such as Inkscape
A page description language can be used as a kind of vector graphics markup language.
Some vector graphics markup languages use even higher-level descriptions than lines and simple curves -- splines, text strings, iterated function systems, superquadratic ellipsoids, etc.
