    SVG or Canvas or something else? I have used SVG but am thinking of switching to use HTML5 Canvas instead. What are your opinions?

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

    Why?

                  No. Only someone who believed in acos would do that - otherwise it's asin.

                      Do you need unstable (non-persistent) or partial drawing, buffers, dynamic scalar image generation (opposite as vector image generation), layers or 3D? Then use canvas. For all other simpler cases use SVG. None of those technologies is superior - SVG is simple to use for simple use cases, Canvas is simple to use for advanced use-cases (and difficult to use for simple use-cases).

                        Useful but renders to HTML5 Canvas anyway.
