jit.mgraphics svg_create help

hi all, can anyone advise on this?

in the jit.mgraphics reference for the svg_create message, it says you can "Create a named svg object, filling with the contents of specified source. Source can be a file name, or an XML svg string."

does anyone have an example that I could check out that shows using an xml svg string in action?

would be great!

thanks,
rama
