+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBsvgtopam\fP reads an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image as input and
+produces a PAM image as output.
+.PP
+\fBsvgtopam\fP is so weak that it is probably not useful in general for
+converting SVG images. It understands only <path> SVG elements which
+use only the "M", "L", and "z" commands, and only those that use whole number
+arguments. This is sufficient for converting most of what comes out of
+\fBpamtosvg\fP (not by coincidence - the program was developed for the
+specific task of testing \fBpamtosvg\fP), but the main reason it is part of
+Netpbm is to provide a base for someone to create a full SVG to Netpbm
+converter.
+.PP
+SVG is a vector image format, which means it describes curves that
+compose an image. By contrast, PNM is a raster format, which means it
+describes dots that compose an image. The main practical difference
+between the two types is that you can scale vector images better. A
+vector image also takes a lot less data to describe an image if the
+image is composed of simple curves.
+.PP
+That means it is really an understatement to say that \fBsvgtopam\fP
+is an image format converter. It's really an image drawer, not unlike
+\fBppmdraw\fP.
