Convert SVG to CALS

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics, a versatile file format developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1999. This XML-based format is primarily used for defining vector-based graphics for the web, enabling smooth scaling and high-quality rendering on various display resolutions. SVG's scalability, interactivity, and animation support make it ideal for responsive web design, complex illustrations, diagrams, and data visualizations. Its textual nature ensures easy editing and integration with other web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, promoting seamless user experiences and streamlined workflows in modern web development.

The CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
