SVG animation

SVG animation elements were developed in collaboration with the working group that published several versions of Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL).

In June 1998, the "Synchronized Multimedia Working Group" (known as "SYMM"[10]) within the World Wide Web Consortium ("W3C") published the first recommended version of the specification known as "SMIL 1.0".

The following code snippets demonstrate three techniques to create animated SVG images on compatible browsers.

attributeType = "CSS | XML | auto" specifies the namespace in which the target attribute and its associated values are defined.

The MediaWiki wiki software automatically generates static, non-animated thumbnails of SVG images.

Viewing the actual .svg image from each respective description page will show its animation in a compatible browser.
