+__doc__="""Use SVGdraw to generate your SVGdrawings.
+
+SVGdraw uses an object model drawing and a method toXML to create SVG graphics
+by using easy to use classes and methods usualy you start by creating a drawing eg
+
+    d=drawing()
+    #then you create a SVG root element
+    s=svg()
+    #then you add some elements eg a circle and add it to the svg root element
+    c=circle()
+    #you can supply attributes by using named arguments.
+    c=circle(fill='red',stroke='blue')
+    #or by updating the attributes attribute:
+    c.attributes['stroke-width']=1
+    s.addElement(c)
+    #then you add the svg root element to the drawing
+    d.setSVG(s)
+    #and finaly you xmlify the drawing
+    d.toXml()
+    
+
+this results in the svg source of the drawing, which consists of a circle
+on a white background. Its as easy as that;)
+This module was created using the SVG specification of www.w3c.org and the
+O'Reilly (www.oreilly.com) python books as information sources. A svg viewer
+is available from www.adobe.com"""

+
+# there are two possibilities to generate svg:
+# via a dom implementation and directly using <element>text</element> strings
+# the latter is way faster (and shorter in coding)
+# the former is only used in debugging svg programs
+# maybe it will be removed alltogether after a while
+# with the following variable you indicate whether to use the dom implementation
+# Note that PyXML is required for using the dom implementation.
+# It is also possible to use the standard minidom. But I didn't try that one.
+# Anyway the text based approach is about 60 times faster than using the full dom implementation.
