You might look into GraphViz (AT&T) (http://www.graphviz.org/).  You
can create a dependency graph (in a text file) and then convert it to
SVG (including many others) with

The JDepend Java package (http://clarkware.com/software/JDepend.html)
has an XSLT file that converts it's XML generated file to DOT format
for conversion to SVG (using dot).

All:

I'd like to generate an SVG from an XML structure that shows the
parent-child relationships of that XML structure.

Does anyone have any examples?
