R help - Apr 2014 - reading & understanding SVG?

Hello:


       What would you suggest I use to read and manipulate an SVG file?


       I'd like to extract components of an svg file.  I see it's XML, 
but I have very little experience with either SVG or XML.  I've tried 
GIMP and findFn{sos} without finding a clear suggestion of where to start.


       Thanks,
       Spencer

Spencer, what "components" do you want to extract?  Do the SVG files
have a
reasonably well-defined structure?  I've done a fair amount with SVG and
may be able to help.
