<p>Any amount of such canvases may exist simultaneously. It is important to note that a call to function
<a href="../func/init.html#cdKillCanvas"><font face="Courier"><strong>
cdKillCanvas</strong></font></a> is required to <b>close</b> the file properly.</p>
+<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> because the SVG specification states that
+floating point number must use dots &quot;.&quot; for floating point separators, we set
+the numeric locale to &quot;English&quot; when the canvas is created, and restore it when
+it is destroyed. But since it uses the global C function <strong>setlocale</strong>
+if you use other C functions that are locale dependent while the SVG canvas is
+being used then be aware that they will be affected.</p>
