Infos zum Thema sprites

Using SVG sprites offers a lot of benefits over conventional sprites. Size is not a problem, as a larger SVG doesn't mean bigger file size. Plenty of room to place elements wherever you want them, no need to break your head about the most efficient way to position your tiles. And it is possible to use .jpeg, .png, .webm or .gif together in one sprite. It's even possible to create alpha channels for JPEGs by putting them into a clipping path.
