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:
“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
