\section{Conversion to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Format}
-Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format is an emerging standard for high-quality graphics.
-Recent versions of popular browsers support SVG graphics natively; i.e.,~without
-requiring a plug-in or
-external application,
-making it an ideal format for posting charts on the web.
-The quality and size of (compressed) SVG images are comparable to PDF\@.
-The \texttt{inkview} application in the open-source \texttt{inkscape}\footnote{%

One approach is to use \texttt{dvisvgm}\footnote{%
