File sizes are typically smaller than for an equivalent graphic in raster format In addition it is possible to add script functions into the SVG file which opens the way for an endless number of enhancements For example it is possible to show the differences between the current and the previous version of a chart How to use an SVG chart e You need to install a plugin on your browser for example the Adobe SVG Viewer see Adobe s downloads page http www adobe com support downloads main html Note only the functionality specific to the Adobe SVG Viewer 3 0 plug in will be de scribed further down at the time of the writing it was the most common SVG viewer and the only one which has been tested within the eAIP Project e Zoom in press the Control key and click with the left normal mouse button alternat ively drag the mouse i e press normal mouse button move mouse and then release button to define a zooming rectangle e Pan press the Alt key and drag the mouse e Additional standard SVG commands are available on a right mouse click menu zoom in zoom out search text etc 2 2 5 Other features Other navigation and browsing features may be available such as Hint text for abbreviations and location indicators internal links content of remarks included by reference etc Some of these are presented as part of the eAIP Specimen chapter Edition Number 1 0 3 Released Issue 5 Electronic
