Be aware, the one big draw-back of Raphael.js (and its best feature) is that all drawings are declarative JS. So you won't be able to extract and store the generated SVG, in a designer for instance. You could extract it from browsers which support SVG, by getting the XML, but in IE, you're dealing with VML. A neat project which renders SVG's in Flash for IE, and fakes in the SVG DOM so you can code against it using JS, is svgweb. http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/ http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/
