   Exactly the reason why I have never looked into SVG.  I already knew   
   PostScript years before SVG was released.   
      
   One of the big benefits of Postscript is that it is a full-blown   
   programming language, not just a graphics description language.  E.g.,   
   when doing a graph that shows some of my measurement results, I put   
   all the measurement results in, and then select from these   
   measurements the data relevant for the graph, and display them as   
   appropriate.  E.g., Figures 8-12 of   
      
   all include the same data, it's just what's selected and displayed   
   that's different.   
      
   You can find some graphs for getting started in   
   .
