8. Getting Started: Embedding Methods by which SVG can be embedded in a browser IE9 Developer Preview Support The SVG in HTML5 embedding method without using foreign object (i.e. just create an tag in your HTML file)SVG in HTML5 SVG as a full document type (with.SVG extension) SVG in XHTML (similar to that of HTML, only with XHTML files) SVG using Support in IE9, As or css-image.SVGZ

9. Getting Started: Structure TagUsage (no support)Primary wrapper for SVG content. Support for nested SVG. Clones, “re-uses” SVG Content Method for grouping SVG Same as in HTML

10. Getting Started: Presentation TagUsage,,,,, Elements for drawing basic shapes Geometry of the an object, defined in terms of moveto (set a new current point), lineto (draw a straight line), curveto (draw a curve using a cubic Bézier), arc (elliptical or circular arc) and closepath (no support)Basic Text in SVG (no wrapping) Filling, stroking, colorMethods for painting, filling and outlining basic shapes and paths

11. Getting Started: Interactivity/Styling TagUsage DOML2 Core and SVGDOMIf the element exists, most likely the corresponding SVGDOM support exists. This means that scripting of SVG is readily available. EventsMost events are in place; some SVG specific events are coming next Presentation Attributes / CSSUsing CSS and presentation attributes on elements

12. Getting Started: Transforms TagUsage translateShift the SVG content (x,y) skewX/skewYSkew the content horizontally or vertically scaleScale the content rotateRotate the content

13. What’s coming in Internet Explorer Platform Preview What’s Coming Next Gradients Clipping / Masking / Compositing Linking and Views Remainder of Text, Transformations, Color, Interactivity/Events

14. Call to Action! Let’s Get Going! Download the Internet Explorer 9 Platform preview vwww.IETestDrive.com Visit W3Schools (for initial learning) Build your own SVG and share with the community Join my Facebook group (SVG in Internet Explorer) Make modifications to Open Source Frameworks to Allow for SVG (instead of VML) Help us make sure we are interoperable by reporting any divergences
