The designer used Adobe® Illustrator® 9.0 to create and export the two SVG Smart Graphics: the switches in the control panel (upper left, A321Panel.svg) and the aircraft (right side, A321top.svg). The switches were built in Adobe Illustrator by tracing a photograph of the cockpit's lighting panel. The aircraft and its lights are based upon a rough black-and-white line drawing taken from the pilot's handbook. The designer used Illustrator to add detail and color to the plane and used the Gradient palette to create the attenuated beams of light. Rockwell often used the SVG Interactivity palette to associate JavaScript functions with graphic objects, so that the switches would turn the lights on and off. Because exported SVG documents are plain-text files, Rockwell could also directly edit the SVG files and add JavaScript calls to them, if he chose to.
