I first produced PDF output, and then used a program called "pdf2svg", although better might be making a SVG output driver for Ghostscript.

I also don't know what would be the policies on Wikipedia if you are using PostScript code to draw the diagram and are then uploading a SVG file and want to include the PostScript source codes in case someone else will edit the diagram in this way. -- This signature intentionally left blank.
