About SVGs
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an open standard used to describe
two-dimensional vector graphics. It is great for diagrams and shapes,
while PNGs are better for photographs. SVG files are a bit like instructions
on how to make an image. This means that they can be resized without looking
pixelated or blocky.

Wikipedia, an online user-driven encyclopedia, has lots more info:

SVGs On the Web
---------------
Web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Apple's Safari and Opera have some
SVG support. A plugin is available to see SVG images in older versions of
Microsoft Internet Explorer ( http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ ).
For more information, visit: https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/
How to make SVGs
----------------
Linux/Unix users
----------------
A popular Open Source program used to make SVGs is Inkscape
( http://www.inkscape.org/ ). This will most likely be packaged for
your distribution / operating system.
An earlier program (which Inkscape is based on) is Sodipodi
( http://www.sodipodi.com/ ).
An excellent tool with which to create SVG images for use in Tux Paint is
Inkscape, a high-quality Open Source interactive drawing program.
Libraries which support SVG include Cairo ( http://cairographics.org/ )
and Batik ( http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/ ).
Mac and Windows users
---------------------
Inkscape is available for Mac OSX and Windows. (See above.)
Commercial software like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and Microsoft Visio
have SVG support.
It is likely that is already installed on your system. If not, it should
be readily available from your Linux distribution's software repository.
If not, or to learn more, visit http://www.inkscape.org/, respectively.
