1706                            Map and legend can be exported separately in the
1707                            Thuban-Map-SVG format.
1708                            You get files that comply with
1709                            the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification
1710                            and can be read by many vector drawing applications.
1711                            </para>
1712                            <para>
1713                            Goal of svgexport is to provide
1714                            the start of a printing pipeline for Thuban.
1715                            For this purpose the written Thuban-Map-SVG files
1716                            contain information that can be used in postprocessing.
1717                            Typically a general vector drawing application is
1718                            more powerful then a geographic information viewer;
1719                            e.g. having much fancier symbols and fonts.
1720                            Also users benefit much more when learning to use a
1721                            more general application they can also use for other
1722                            tasks.  So the charming idea is to enable
1723                            the drawing application to postprocess a Thuban maps.
1724                            So thee xtra information in the format will make it
1725                            possible to export from Thuban and if a few geoobjects
1726                            change, and keep the general layout and style
1727                            of the full map in the vector drawing appplication.

1730                            Markus Rechtien has developed a prototype of this
1731                            printing pipline as his Diplom thetis, showing
1732                            the feasability of Bernhard Reiter's concept.
1733                            Scripts exist for the drawing application Skencil
1734                            (<ulink url="http://www.skencil.org"/>).
1735                            </para>
1736                            <para>
1737                            Technical notes: the names of the layers are used
1738                            as base for ids within the SVG format.
1739                            If you try to export with two layers having
1740                            the same name, you will get a name clash error.
1741                            Just change one of the layer names and try again.
