Thanks Max, I guess I'll go for SVG. And will let you know when I master XSLT and SVG. Priya -----Original Message----- From: Max Dunn [mailto:maxdunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2001 11:16 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] SVG vs VML Use SVG. It is fantastic for graphs. The only possible advantage of VML would be if you want to do something specifically with Microsoft Office products, it has a close connection to these applications. One could argue that VML has a larger installed viewer base than SVG, but this is extremely temporary. Perhaps if for example everyone in your company has Powerpoint and your IT department thinks the Adobe Viewer is dangerous and won't allow Java, that is one of the few situations in which I would imagine VML to be relevant. SVG is the future for the visual display of quantitative information. It is an open standard and it's overkill for graphs, it could accomplish anything you could ever imagine with graphs and anyone could view it using the (free) Batik or Adobe Viewers, as well as an increasing array of other viewers/editors. Let me know if you ever master the XSLT/SVG bit, though, I'm VERY curious about this subject. I have so far found it faster for charts to simply spit out data from a database and with the JSP, ASP, or Javascript put variables from a database into the SVG or do things conditionally with the SVG based on these variables. Not elegant but it's fast, I think viewers are still working on their DOM implementations, too. Over time though, I believe XSLT/SVG will become the norm. SVG is a true success story of XML.

I am working on JSP and want to use xml and xsl for drawing graphs but can't make up my mind and which to use.
