+SVG (scalable vector graphics) is an XML based vector image format.
+These images can be converted to a raster image (e.g. png, tiff) at any resolution by
+exporting it from applications such as Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/) or gimp (http://www.gimp.org/).
+Therfore the SVG format can be useful for creating publication quality figures.
