open-in-new
<p>Precision Graphics Markup Language (PGML) is an <a href="/facts/Extensible_Markup_Language/clNgUfWk">XML</a>-based language for representing <a href="/facts/Vector_graphics/y8ok7M2P">vector graphics</a>. It was a <a href="/facts/World_Wide_Web_Consortium/lGWmhF6M">World Wide Web Consortium</a> (W3C) submission by <a href="/facts/Adobe_Systems/Bj1d5XvJ">Adobe Systems</a>, <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a>, <a href="/facts/Netscape/JGWlEUI7">Netscape</a>, and <a href="/facts/Sun_Microsystems/VJ9EzEFd">Sun Microsystems</a>, that was not adopted as a <a href="/facts/W3C_recommendation/lGWmhF6M">recommendation</a>. PGML is a 2D graphical format, offering precision for <a href="/facts/Graphic_artists/JUvBzYMU">graphic artists</a>, guaranteeing that the design created will appear in end user systems with the correct formatting, layout and the precision of color. </p><p>PGML and <a href="/facts/Vector_Markup_Language/rbxTcUzX">Vector Markup Language</a>, another XML-based vector graphics language W3C submission supported by <a href="/facts/Autodesk/6aydGFN5">Autodesk</a>, <a href="/facts/Hewlett-Packard/abuNSYNu">Hewlett-Packard</a>, <a href="/facts/Macromedia/MDTnKa0k">Macromedia</a>, <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>, and <a href="/facts/Visio_Corporation/kf25GvjN">Visio Corporation</a>, were later joined and improved upon to create <a href="/facts/Scalable_Vector_Graphics/ARq5C3YV">Scalable Vector Graphics</a> (SVG). </p>
