In my post yesterday I showed how to publish Visio files as html image maps. That was one of the alternatives. Today I’ll present how to use SVG to achieve the same goal: publish Visio diagrams in SharePoint without having the Enterprise license. There are some alternatives:

1. Show Visio diagrams as pdf files on SharePoint Pages
2. Embed Visio diagrams as html image maps - Read more in my previous blog post
3. Embed Visio diagrams as svg pictures - This blog post.
4. Link to Visio files that are opened using Visio Web Viewer in a new browser tab.

SVG

SVG stands for scalable vector graphic, it is a xml-based format for defining images. It is supported in all modern browsers. Because SVG can be part of a page markup, it can be easily embedded into SharePoint.
