My first ruby contribution

I had some code accepted into a Ruby project yesterday. Run, don’t walk to SVG::Graph, an SVG graphing package. I am quite pathetically excited about it. Does anyone know of an SVG viewer that runs in Firefox?

    Hehe, yeah - Firefox itself! Firefox 1.5 supports SVG natively (though some big parts are missing). Opera 9 also supports most of SVG.

    Looks pretty decent - unfortunately Fx doesn’t support the blur filter, so it doesn’t look as slick (but the Adobe SVG Viewer can be installed for Firefox 1.5 too - in which case you have to turn off native rendering via about:config).

    I also use SVG::Graph, and agree that it rocks!

    And you don’t need an SVG viewer for Firefox 1.5 - it has built in SVG support. You can even include SVG markup inline with your XHTML! Check out the following links:
