Creating Graphics for Both Web Pages and PDA Displays 
Today, the most common graphic file format used on web pages is raster, which has certain limitations. A new technology called Scalable Vector Graphics is emerging as the raster alternative. SVG files contain all the traits of normal vector graphics. Their unique properties make them more suitable for mobile product displays. By comparing and contrasting SVG and raster traits, one can best determine the correct file format for specific end output displays.
