This is the last in a series of posts refuting some recurring claims about the death of SVG<\/abbr>, In the first post<\/a>, I gave a brief overview of SVG<\/abbr>. In the subsequent posts, I refuted each of the major claims that I have seen for the death of SVG<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

Those claims were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Death by lack of GUI<\/abbr> Widget Claim<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Death by lack of the 3D Graphics Claim<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Death by lack of the Video or Audio Playback Claim<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Death bby lack of the Internet Explorer support Claim<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hope by now you can seem that these recurring myths are based mostly on misunderstanding or misinformation. SVG<\/abbr> is a very effective technology, but it is not designed to do everything. Its popularity and usefulness have been growing for almost a decade now. Despite regular doom-sayers proclaiming the death of SVG<\/abbr>, it lives on and grows stronger every year.<\/p>\n
