There are some old threads about the SVG support.

I have some different elisp SVG hacks. Maybe the attached "dragbox.el"
can be of help. It allows one to draw a box in an image interactively,
so its somewhat like drawing a gauge.

;;; dragbox.el --- draw a bounding box interactively


;;; Commentary:

;; Draw a bounding box on an image interactively.

;; Use m-x dragbox-start to try it out, enter a the name of an image
;; file compatible with SVG, such as jpg or png.

;; Then mark the upper left corner with the left mouse button.
;; Mark the lower right corner with the right mouse button.

;; The bounding box will be drawn as a grey rectangle over the
;; image. This requires an Emacs compiled with SVG support.

;; An ocr application of the  bounding box is included,
;; which will require tesseract, gocr, or ocrad installed.

;; for instance, select an image region as per above, then do:
;;    m-x dragbox-ocr-gocr-image-region
;; if everything works as it should,
;; the image region should be ocr:ed and the text shown in the
;; message area. The ocr:ed text will also be put in the kill ring.

;; Please not that this is only alpha quality, feedback appreciated.

;; TODO

;; - support more than one session probably with buffer local variables
;; - use imagemagick to convert the entered file name to something compatible 
with svg
;; - url encode img name properly to avoid file name encoding issues
;; - some type of local minor mode so as not to pollute image-mode
;;   - unbind mouse up events in this mode
;; - this code is meant as an api for emacs apps wanting interactive bounding 
boxes,
;;   so provide nice api:
;;   - dragbox-start image-file ; start interactive box finding
;;   - dragbox-get-box  ; get the actual box coords
;;       - return image coords rather than svg coords
;;   - maybe some "done" callback for clients to use
;; - set moise pointer to "arrow" over image

;; futureish:
;; - support zooming in the image for better placing of box
;; - investigate MON KEY:s idea to use artist.el
;; - ability to define a set of boxes, for ocr
;; - be able to draw a line in the image as a guide for deskewing
