SVG input mode
In the SVG input mode, the SVG images that are used for SVG visualization can be used to interactively control the simulation. Since the SVG images are reused, using the SVG input mode requires the use of SVG visualization.
The idea is that certain SVG elements are coupled (mapped) to events from the CIF specification. Clicking on those graphical elements then results in the corresponding event being executed by the simulator. This way, the user interface of a system can be modeled graphically, and can be coupled to the specification (during simulation), by means of events. The user interface of the system is thus part of the specification, but is controlled interactively at runtime (during simulation) by the user.
The events that are coupled to visualization elements are called SVG interactive events or SVG input events.
