Hello,
Some time ago I was experimenting with m0n0 firewall and found that it's web interface uses SVG to dynamically show the graphs. Knowing nothing about SVG except that Adobe provides the browser plugin, I had read all I could and found that although SVG can't read data and draw it by itself, it does can modify the drawn image using the javascript script included. The drawing logic comes to the client side, but that is ok.
(I found that it is best to include javascript into SVG file, because the js interpreter of plugin works much more reliable with SVG objects, then browser's own one).
As an example, I attach the slightly reformatted SVG file from m0n0 firewall. This genius example, thanx to m0n0.ch team, gives the great idea of how brilliant it could be if Zabbix would use SVG for its screens. Just imagine, that graphs redraw itself without browser refresh! No blinks! As though it is a standalone application.
I'd love to have a SVG in Zabbix. And if not, I would make a couple of my own
Sincerely,
Mikhail
