Creating Scalable Graphics and Animations Using Browser-Based Language Interpretation

Abstract

Scalable vector graphics, or SVG for short, are a powerful and invaluable image format due to their ability to be scaled to any size without loss of quality. Writing an SVG file without software assistance can be a laborious process, especially when the design includes animation or repetitive elements. In this research project, each of us designed a web-based computer language to simplify the process of creating scalable graphics and animations. Though our languages differ in grammar and appearance, we each used the fundamental stages of computer language interpretation in creating our final product.
