I read about the recently released library for working with SVG - Raphaël ( habrahabr.ru/blogs/webdev/41647 and habrahabr.ru/blogs/svg/42949 ). Where it was stated, I quote: "So a bunch of Raphaël + jQuery will provide great opportunities for development."
However, in the plugin library on jQuery, I recently found a ready-made development for working with SVG ( plugin page ).
This plug-in not only allows you to build graphics, but also to animate it with the plug-in itself. There are a lot of examples of work, so I advise you to visit the site of the plugin itself . ')
Plug-in by Keith Wood . On his website , there is still a lot of interesting things.
