Patterns are rendered as **SVG** — short
|
||
for [Scalable Vector Graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics) —
|
||
an XML-based vector image format and an open standard.
|
||
While you don’t need to be an SVG expert, a basic understanding of the format
|
||
will greatly help you to understand FreeSewing.
|
||
|
||
For example, the coordinate system and the way paths
|
||
are structured are all related to the SVG drawing system, which is closely related
|
||
to other 2D drawing technologies such as PostScript or PDF.
