Here's a simplfied example of what I did with it. The source block uses
dot to produce an SVG file for illustration - if you already have one
then you can ignore it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{svg}

* foo

#+name: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file foo.svg :exports results :results none
digraph foo {
  a -> b
}
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_LaTeX
\includesvg{foo}
#+END_LaTeX
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

PNG is a raster format whereas SVG is a vector format. I was trying to
produce some slides and I did use PNG at first because it's easier to
fit into the pdflatex workflow. But when I made the slides full screen,
the PNG got fuzzy. Sticking with SVG got rid of the fuzzies for me.
