SVG development InfoField	The SVG code is valid . This diagram was created with an unknown SVG tool. This diagram uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor. This SVG diagram contains embedded raster graphics . [2] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics . Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}} . This SVG diagram shows a librsvg bug . Bypassed bug description: phab:T35245 This diagram is a retouched picture , which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Added annotation and converted to SVG with data URI . The original can be viewed here: Milky Way 2005.jpg : . Modifications made by Cmglee .
