Software and Support in Applications
SVG images can be produced by the use of a vector graphics editor, such as Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, or CorelDRAW, and rendered to common raster image formats such as PNG using the same software.
Software can be programmed to render SVG images by using a library such as librsvg or Batik. SVG images can also be rendered to any desired popular image format by using the free software command-line utility ImageMagick.
Web browsers which can display SVG images on web pages include Firefox, Internet Explorer (IE 9+), Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.
SVG on the desktop has also become common. The GNOME project has supported and extensively used SVG icons since 2000.
Other uses for SVG include embedding for use in word processing (e.g. with LibreOffice) and desktop publishing (e.g., Scribus), plotting graphs (e.g., gnuplot), and importing paths (e.g., for use in GIMP or Blender).

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“... the outcome of the Clarence Thomas hearings and his subsequent appointment to the Supreme Court shows how misguided, narrow notions of racial solidarity that suppress dissent and critique can lead black folks to support individuals who will not protect their rights.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
