PGML (Precision Graphics Markup Language)

PGML is a 2D Graphics Format meant to satisfy both the WWW's scalable lightweight vector graphics needs and the precision needs of graphic artists who want to ensure that their graphic designs appear on end user systems with precisely the correct fonts, color, layout and compositing that they desire. Graphics Format uses the imaging model of PostScript. PGML was a proposal authored by Adobe and has been used as input for the development of SVG.
