Graphics

Spotfire - This software is not that well known at present but is a growing force in the visualization market for people wanting more graphical information and more in depth information than business intelligence tools can give. Concentrates mainly on the presentation and visualization of data in easy to use manner. Easily distributable and worth consideration.(www.spotfire.com)

SVG - SVG is a graphical technology recommended by W3C(http://www.w3.org/) that utilises XML. Rather than display a graphic as a bitmap (Like JPG and PNG formats) it uses mathematical expressions to display the items. The major advantage of SVG is that the image quality remains constant however large or small the image is. For a neat example of SVG click here. http://www.mango-solutions.com/svg/svg-graph.html
