SVG 2 and the Artist

SVG is the vector graphic format for the Web. The SVG working group is in the process of updating the specification to SVG 2. This update brings many new features of interest to artists and designers: mesh gradients, auto-wrapped text, new blending modes, hashed fills, 3d transforms, etc. Experimental implementations of some features are already available in web browers and Inkscape. I will give an overview of the new features with demonstrations where possible.
