SVG format is ascii based vector format. We made experimental pdf with pictures
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/files/postgres-11-diagram.pdf
(GIN AM diagram, Appendix L).

Appendix L also demonstrates our sample database with step-by-step
introduction to Postgres for beginners.  We have a separate book for beginners,
which we released under BSD license and  it's available on
russian/english languages.
Our experience shows, that people really appreciate it. I hope we will
have time at PGCon
to discuss documentation somehow.
