Some specific features of the SVG editor:

• The SVG editor is really integrated in the authoring environment. This means that you can edit an SVG image directly in your XHTML document. It is also possible to insert mathematical formulae inside an SVG image (useful for scientific diagrams).
• Once you have given a title to each important component of an SVG image, you can generate a spatial description. This is to encourage and help users to produce accessible contents.
• A shape recognition algorithm allows Amaya to handle basic shapes that do not exist in the SVG language, without using any extension of the language.
• A matrix decomposition algorithm allows to write any transformation as a product of at most three simple SVG transformations. Moreover in the case of a similitude, only translate, rotate and scale are used. This is useful for people who edit the transform attribute, since the decomposition is easier to understand than "matrix(a, b, c, d, e, f)".
