EPD is a new encapsulated vectorial graphic format. The project is GPL and you can find it at http://EPD.sourceforge.net/ The idea is very simple and powerful: EPD uses the standard PDF (Adobe trademark) graphic syntax. Every line is only one command. Every line starting with # is a comment. The command BBox(x1,y1,x2,y2) will specify the Bounding Box. This is a simple example # This is only a test with the new EPD format BBox(-50.87109,97.4201,668.62891,700.57977) 0.97 g 1 i -64.1289 549.6731 m 308.6328 97.4201 l -64.1289 625.8317 l -64.1289 549.6731 l h f It's very simple with EPD create an archive of graphical objects. We're developing a simple application to use an EPD: epd2svg The official W3C overview of the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format is at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ If you need a SVG browser viewer we suggest you the Adobe SVG plug-in http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/ We hope many applications will support EPD, to create EPD objects and to include EPD objects in other formats.
