A couple weeks ago I mentioned the first release of svg2vml, a lightweight library that enables cross platform, JavaScript-driven vector graphics. Here's a quick example where I use svg2vml to create Digg style gradient buttons:
If you're reading from a feed reader that doesn't embed iframes, you'll need to click through to see the example.
Check out the frame source for full details. Notice that the button itself is an HTML DIV and that we use CSS and HTML elements to define and position our text. So it's possible to mix HTML and vector graphics as you see fit.
We're just scratching the surface. svg2vml can do all kinds of cool stuff. Have fun!

Today on the JSViz Blog, Lorien announced svg2vml, a thin translation layer that enables VML capable browsers (Internet Explorer) to display a subset of SVG without any new code.

Hey friends, sorry I haven't been posting or responding to any of your e-mails lately! I assure you I've got an excuse. I'm moving from my place in Rochester, New York to California next week to start a new job with Google. I'll let you know more when I can, but please hang tight in the meantime.
I've got plenty of JSViz news to share and I'll be posting as time and wifi permit over the next week.

I just posted this new tutorial on jsviz.org...
JSViz 0.3.3 includes a few examples to help you get started. In this tutorial, I'm going to go over one of them. We'll create a Snowflake Graph from the contents of an XML file. You can find the example source, with comments based on this tutorial in the 0.3.3 Distribution.
Here's the final product
1) Start with a new HTML file
Add appropriate JSViz imports and an empty "init()" function body:

The jsviz.org website is now available but I'll be cross-posting big news here to keep subscribers and search traffic informed:
JSViz 0.3.3 is now available. This release includes two major features:
Snowflake Model is an updated implementation of the "Tree Model" offered in JSViz 0.2. This is a geometric model, offering superior speed to Force Directed layouts, but only capable of representing hierarchical data (sorry, no circuits).
An Example Snowflake Graph
Layouts offer a simplified interface to the core JSViz libraries. New projects can now be created with minimal code and simple configuration. Additional examples, using Layouts:
An Example Force Directed Graph with Data Loader
An Example Force Directed Graph with Randomly Generated Data
You can download the full source as a single ZIP archive or browse individual files on the Download page
I'll follow up with tutorials shortly.
