In this chapter, you learned about a large number of more advanced SVG features. You learned about multiple transformations, which allow you to manipulate SVG elements without changing their underlying structure. This opens up a number of possibilities that we'll continue to examine throughout this book.
You also learned about clipping and masking, which allow you to manipulate images by subtracting portions of them using complicated drawings. This includes the ability to use variable opacity to manipulate images.
Additionally, you learned about implementing a basic SVG filter and about serving SVG files on the web in common web servers.
In Chapter 4, Using SVG in HTML, you'll learn some details about using SVG within the context of an HTML document, which is where the real power of SVG is exposed for the entire world to see.
