This article is talk about what is SVG and its main features and how to view them. And the SVG Viewer download is also supplied here.

You can click the left logo picture check the web browser read the SVG file or not. If not, you'd better update to the latest version.
If you are using a IE browser, the most widely used one around the world now, you may feel embarrassed that it can't support the SVG files directly. To view or read SVG with IE, you should install the corresponding SVG viewer or reader plugins. Here we recommend the Adobe SVG viewer for you.

What is SVG?
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated).
The SVG specification is an open standard that has been under development by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.
SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files. This means that they can be searched, indexed, scripted and, if required, compressed. Since they are XML files, SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor, but specialized SVG-based drawing programs are also available.
All major modern web browsers except Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), support and render SVG markup directly.[3] The next major version of IE, Internet Explorer 9, will do so.
Support for SVG in web browsers
The use of SVG on the web is still limited by the lack of support in Internet Explorer which (as of May 2010) is the most widely-used browser. The most widely deployed version of IE (version 8) does not support SVGs however, Microsoft has announced that IE9 will support SVG. Many web sites that serve SVG images, such as Wikipedia, also provide the images in a raster format, either automatically by HTTP content negotiation or by allowing the user directly to choose the file.
[edit] Native support
As of 2009, all major desktop browsers, and many minor browsers, have some level of SVG support, except for Internet Explorer. Other browsers' implementations are not yet complete; see Comparison of layout engines for further details. As of 2010, only Opera, Safari and Google Chrome supported embedding via the <img> HTML element. Mozilla Firefox and some other browsers that can display SVG graphics currently need them embedded in <object> or <iframe> elements to display them integrated as parts of an HTML webpage.[46] However, SVG images may be included in XHTML pages using XML namespaces.
