Anyone know of a standard way to display vector graphics w/in a web page? Preferably something that an EMF file could be converted to without too much trouble... --------

I convert them to GIF. I use Paint Shop Pro which lets you scale it to the size needed when opening the file.

Try VML or VRML - can't remember which. I think there are a few articles about it here on CP. Or search google.

Try Portable Network Graphics (PNG), the native format for Macromedia Fireworks or Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an Adobe format still in it's infancy I believe. Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd.

Here's a simple article I wrote on VML a while ago. If that's not enough to get you started then maybe do a search on Google for "VML" or "SVG", else send me a mail. Cheers, Simon "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch.", Eric S. Raymond

I suppose the problem here is that it isn't an MS standard, so we have to stick with plugins like shockwave, etc. for browsers. Derek Lakin.
