[ncl-talk] svg output file

[Micah Sklut]

Hi Rick,

The svg file includes the png binary data in the <image> tag.
I have attached the svg file for reference.

This goes along with my most recent ncl-talk message just posted, whether
contour maps can be output in vector format, or if they are simply raster
images by nature.
