I have an SVG object graphics destination (still pretty simple, adding
functionality as I need it).

I use Scribus to convert PostScript to SVG when using direct graphics.

IDL used to come along with documentation and header files necessary
to build your own Direct Graphics driver. I think the intent was to
allow people to write drivers for unusual or one-of-a-kind devices,
rather than have them written by ITTVIS. I went looking for this
information once and failed to find it. So I don't know if it is
still exists or is supported. (IDL would have to still run the code
that looks for user-supplied DG drivers in order for this to work).

If all that is still in place, or you can get it from ITTVIS, it would
not be very hard to write an SVG DG driver that can be loaded by
today's IDL. I'd bet you can find a public domain SVG library that
generates the SVG output and provides an API to make this pretty easy.

btw. there are some other nice tools:

you can use pdf2svg
you can use a modern webbrowser
you also can use a modern webbrowser and svg-edit a cool js lib, if you
like to have a whiteboard on the net.
you can use inkscape
you can use openoffice
you can use eog

cheers

Ask ITTVIS :-)

You can use Inkscape to import (E)PS files into SVG (it uses
pstoedit [http://www.pstoedit.net/] to convert the PS file).

ps: I have a partial implementation for native SVG output in FL:

FL> set_plot, 'svg'
