So far, in this book, you've been exposed to most of the basic SVG features and elements. With just the tools you've experienced so far, you could start to do some real tasks with SVG. That said, SVG has a lot more to offer. This chapter will start to look at more advanced SVG tools. Some of these techniques will play an important role in doing dynamic SVG animations and visualizations.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Transformations
- Clipping and masking
- Importing content into SVG
- Filter effects
- Serving SVG on the web
All of these, along with the tools you've already learned about, will give you a strong SVG foundation.
