 The SVG code is valid.
 This vector image was created with Perl.
 and with R.
  This file uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor.

Creation technique

  1. Simulate process observations using perl, output to file.
  2. Read file into R, use qcc package to render control chart.
  3. Save to PDF.
  4. Import into Inkscape, save to SVG.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
