Quick.SVG Element Conversion Matrix

The following is a conversion matrix showing CGM element to SVG element conversions. Quick.SVG provides accurate element-to-element conversions from source CGMs to SVGs. Other SVG conversion software sometimes converts difficult source elements to a series of straight polylines so graphically it will look similar, but the actual elements are not reusable since they do not represent the actual elements. This table is provided to show actual element conversions.

Since available SVG elements do not match exactly, the closest possible elements are used. Quick.SVG's conversion is so accurate, the exported SVG could be converted back to CGM elements if needed.
