# SVG Reader
## Introduction
The **svgio** module is used to read **SVG** (Scalable Vector Graphics[1])
files. It is an XML based format for vector graphics.
This module contains `svgio/source/svgreader` which is used for embedding an
SVG file with "Insert -> Picture -> From File".
SVG is an open standard provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
[1] [Scalable Vector Graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable\_Vector\_Graphics)
## How does it work?
`svgio` module uses sax for reading xml and turns it into `drawinglayer` primitives.
The rendering is done via `drawinglayer` primitives. For more information, you should
refer to [drawinglayer](../drawinglayer) documentation.
## Known Bugs
Known remaining bugs for this module are gathered here:
* [Bug 88278 - [META] SVG import image filter (all modules)](https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=88278)
## Dependencies
Direct dependencies for **emfio** are [**drawinglayer**](../drawinglayer) and
[**sax**](../sax).
