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 partridge and the rabbit are still sure to thrive, like true natives of the soil, whatever revolutions occur. If the forest is cut off, the sprouts and bushes which spring up afford them concealment, and they become more numerous than ever. That must be a poor country indeed that does not support a hare. Our woods teem with them both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
