  Graph

Request: I tried to convert PNG file into SVG (at least text) using Inkscape and i have problem with subscript. First attempt is straight from Inkscape, second simplified in Notepad. But in both cases it looks OK in Inkscape but not in brower or commons png preview. Jklamo (talk) 23:28, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

It comes from nesting a <tspan>...</tspan> within another <tspan>...</tspan>, something which should be avoided (and which is annoying to try to fix). By the way, most of that SVG is non-vector... AnonMoos (talk) 03:35, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it looks OK now in browser SVG renderers (i tried 3), but commons png preview is still not OK. --Jklamo (talk) 19:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd converted text to path. Is it allright now?? --Robot8A (talk) 15:49, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

The text is the least of your problems when the SVG has a raster image embedded in it. Try removing the raster image then see how the renderer then deals with any text. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 17:26, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Commons process icons

StaleFred the Oyster (talk)

I'd like to have some good icons, in a consistent set, which represent different Commons processes. I think this would be helpful to make policy and help clearer, particularly from the point of view of users whose first language is not English, since consistent use of these icons would make it easier grasp what's going on.

Request: Icon set Rd232 (talk) 16:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Have you tried looking for icons at the Nuvola project? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 07:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

I've looked around Commons at different icons available, yes. Nothing really suitable. Rd232 (talk) 09:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

That icon set is perhaps the most complete. Which additional icons do you need? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:56, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, to start with I was thinking a consistent style set for the 3 types of deletion process: speedy (i.e. more or less immediate), ordinary by discussion, and "deletion tagging" (delete if tagged for 7 days). Rd232 (talk) 18:06, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Hydrogen spectrum

StaleFred the Oyster (talk)

• 
  Spectral lines of hydrogen on a logarithmic length scale

Request: Colors are important for spectra, and at present these in w:Hydrogen spectral series are confusing. Currently the lines are colored by spectral series, but that information could be conveyed by different line heights for each series. The lines from the "visible" portion should be from the actual visible light Hydrogen spectrum[1] (not black as they all are now) with violet-to-blue on the left and red on the right. I recommend that all the ultraviolet lines on the far left be in color #0088aa dark violet-cyan and all the infrared lines on the middle to right be #aa220 dark red-brown. The important part is to make sure invisible light does not appear to be spectral colors, but the two different sets in ultraviolet and infrared should at least be darkish and seem similar to violet and red.

The nearest ultraviolet lines are shown as visible, which is either a mistake, or a borderline mistake because they are technically visible but relatively faint. Someone who knows the frequency response of the human eye should figure that out, please.

Finally, the emission spectra should be depicted on a black background with white text. 99.24.223.58 22:41, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Request: Hi everyone! I'd very much like to have a graduated version of Abaque wulff.svg. How the graduation should be can be seen on this file. I only need graduation in 10° steps from the center to the right (0° to 90°) along the horizontal line and the same outside the circle between the points E and S (the points themselves shouldn't be named). I intend to use this Abaque wulff graduated.svg in [2] in place of Abaque wulff.svg which is used at the moment. I'd like to try for myself but I don't even know how to save the svg to my computer (and then I'd need to learn how to edit svg files, which I'll have to do anyway someday). Thanks for your help.

Here are some files you can use:

• File:Flag of Portuguese Colony Governor.svg: from here you can take the sphere and the cross to put above the angels' heads (can you check the cross's symmetry? It looks wrong to me.)
• File:Corona real abierta.svg: and here's the crown.
• Category:Angels in supporters: maybe you can find something here to save some time on the angels (wings?)

Request: It's time we get this done right, there's so many scaling issues when people try and do work with this flag. Can someone please properly put in the little flags (provided above) into the old South African flag? The Union Jack is reversed, so you will have to flip it around. The black border around all three flags is part of the design, so that it also a must. Fry1989 ^eh? 02:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by NikNaks Okay, this is definitely more work than I'd anticipated! No worries, though. Working at it. However, surely the Union Jack should be 2-3 ratio like the others? There's a couple in that proportion on Commons, so it's not a problem, but I want to check. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah it's supposed to be the same ratio as the flag of Transvaal. I know it's a battle, but it's worth it to have it done right. I can't scale the flag or else it goes haywire and the three little flags shrink and disappear, and there's a lot of uses for this flag that are stopped dead in their tracks by that problem. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

How's that? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 18:16, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Oh crap, you're gonna hate me, but you accidentally cut off the bottom white stripe from the File:Flag of the Orange Free State.svg, it's supposed to have 4 white stripes, not three. Can you please fix that, you can just put it in the same way you did before, and then I can change the properties so that scaling issues are resolved, and then we're good. Sorry. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Bollocks. I was working off the thumbnails (and hence couldn't see it). Whelp, I'll have to fix that tomorrow! Feel free to revert it to something more accurate in the meantime. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:32, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

If it's any consolation, at least you only have to add one white stripe, and not completely redo all three flags again, but yeah, I make mistakes like that too so I know how annoying it can be. Anyhow, take your time, no rush. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:48, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I see you uploaded another version. If you let me know what the issue is, I can make a file that's much more efficient (like mine). NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 09:22, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

What I did was make every element a path. If you have them as strokes, and somebody tries to scale the flag, they go all wonky. You can try if you wish to make the file size smaller, but honestly I think we can live with the flag being only 9 kb, I've seen alot worse, like over 2 mb. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Nine when it could be under 2 is a travesty. :P I'll turn them into rectangles and see if that helps. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 20:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I don't understand. All the objects are already paths, so I'm not sure what you want me to do. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

The way you uploaded it, all the parts of the Union Jack, and the orange red and blue stripes of the flag of Orange Free State were strokes. I had to convert them from stroke to path. That's the change I made. Fry1989 ^eh? 23:13, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

this is what happens when I try and scale the flag (how you uploaded it, and how it had been uploaded in the past) to a difference size. As you can see, everything screws up. After I converted all the elements to paths, this is no longer a problem. Fry1989 ^eh? 23:25, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

A stroke is an attribute a path has, so I don't really understand. Anyhow, this is an issue with the way you're scaling in your editor, not the file itself. If you're using Inkscape, then there's a button on the toolbar (the first one to the right of the word "Affect") that will scale the stroke with the rest of the image. If you're using another editor, there's a similar option, but I'd have to look it up. I'll revert the file. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 07:52, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah, ok, I didn't know that trick. What I used was holding down CTRL while scaling. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:23, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

They're easily enough changed by sticking to Arial,san serif for the font family. I've already changed the first one (Kentucky), though I don't intend doing them all as I don't have the time, concentration or stamina. :) Let's just hope that whoever does changes them uses a text editor rather than Inkscape! (or even Illustrator for that matter). --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:13, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I propose, make a new request to User:DieBuche or COM:BR. -- πϵρήλιο ℗ 18:22, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

It's safer to convert the text entities into paths: You can't assume that any given system has Arial, San Serif, or any other font family installed. They won't be editable as text anymore, but the conversion isn't all that hard to do. As paths, the text appears on the Web page exactly is it does when viewed in Inkscape, but since there are such images for every county in every one of the 50 United States, there are literally hundreds of these files that need fixing — a huge job. Unfortunately, this conversion results in severe file size bloat. It would be better if the Wikimedia rendering engine got fixed, instead. That said, I tested an edit on the age pyramid diagram for Adams County, Illinois using gedit, simply stripping out the references to "Courier" and "Times" in one line of XML code, then uploaded the file again. This avoids the bloat problem and the thumbnail on the category page now looks OK. To do this effectively, one should use a programmer's editor capable of working on collections of files, such as Bluefish. Such an editor can find/replace text in all currently opened files and save the changes in batch mode. This would save much effort. It could also be done on a Unix/Linux system with a script using utilities such as grep and sed.  —Quicksilver^@ 02:43, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Japanese versions of diagrams

 Done

• 
•

May I have Japanese versions of the first four diagrams (the fifth is already in Japanese, but I would like to have a modification made to it)?

In the first two:

• Tokyo -> 東京
• Osaka -> 大阪
• Mount Osutaka -> 御巣鷹山
• Site of explosive decompression -> 異常事態発生機定位置

In the third:

• "Part A" and "Part B" -> "A:ベイ" and "B:L18接続部" or 部品A and 部品B
  Note. As for the en version, I think "A:Bay" and "B:L18 of the fastener joint" would be more accurate than just "Part A" and "Part B". The sources are these. See sequel, [3], and the bigger image is here, on page 12 in the official report in ja.
• "Repairs carried out correctly" -> 適切な修理
• "Repairs carried out incorrectly" -> 不適切な修理

The fourth:

• "Rear pressure bulkhead" -> ボーイング747型機の後部圧力隔壁

Also I would like to make a modification to the fifth picture. Would it be alright if:

• "60列" and "54列" became "座席列番号60" and "座席列番号54", since the original Japanese report uses those terms?

Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

• The fifth image. "Section A", "Section B" etc./セクション A, セクション B etc.->A部位, B部位
  部位 is the term used in the official report in ja. See page 6/33. You can also see the term 座席列番号 on the same page.
  I corrected some words in ja and two in en. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page at en WP. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 07:03, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I modified all the images, however I have a trouble to upload the images. Please be patient untill I successfully upload the images. Phoenix7777 (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 Done -- I changed some words: ボーイング747型機の後部圧力隔壁->後部圧力隔壁, 異常事態発生機定位置->急減圧発生地点. If you find any problem, please let me know. Phoenix7777 (talk) 09:57, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your work! I have two additional requests:

1. Would it be alright if you made an English version of the new diagram file you uploaded (File:Bulkhead Repair ja.png)? So that way there's a Japanese version and an English version of the new version. If you are unsure what terms need to be used, please refer to the English report.

2. For the old diagram (File:Spoiny English.svg) is it alright if that one also has a Japanese version? So that the old diagram uploaded by Eluveitie and the new diagram are both available in Japanese. If you want to suggest changes to the old diagram to use better terminology, that's fine too. If you think the old diagram is misleading or incorrect, please let us know.

Thank you,

WhisperToMe (talk) 19:26, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

1. I already created an English version (File:Bulkhead Repair.png) and replaced File:Spoiny English.svg with it in en:Japan Airlines Flight 123.[4]

2. I think File:Spoiny English.svg is inappropriate. The position of Part.A and B should be the same. The difference is the setting of the splice plate as you can see File:Bulkhead Repair.png. Without depicting the splice plate, the correct difference cannot be explained. Phoenix7777 (talk) 20:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

1. Thank you very much!

2. In that case, we have two options. We could correct the image of the original image to match what is in the reports, or 2. we could nominate the file for deletion, saying it is inaccurate

WhisperToMe (talk) 23:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it is difficult to depict the difference between the two from the front view. I first thought to create a side view image from this drawing.[5] However I decided to create a 3D image because 3D image is more visually intuitive. I think the image should be deleted. Phoenix7777 (talk) 00:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Front view doesn't say too much, side view looks much better. I think File:Spoiny English.svg should be deleted. --Eluveitie (talk) 06:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Alright - then the "spoiny" images can be nominated for deletion. Anyway, would you be interested in having a Polish version of the new image made? If so, how would you translate "Bulkhead" and "Splice plate"? WhisperToMe (talk) 08:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment: I watched the Mayday (Air Crash Investigation) episode "Out of Control" and it does use a "front-facing" view" to illustrate how the repair had been incorrectly done. The documentary's diagram has a "Panel A" and "Panel B" and shows that one row of rivets held the repair, versus two rows. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:20, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I tried it myself with XnView (set the transparency value to palette entry), but it didn't work for some reason.. I have no idea how to do it. Sincerely, Hoikka1 (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

All done, well the png sans background anyway. The reason you couldn't make the background go away was that the file was actually a bitmap, ie it only had 2 colours, white and black. There was no index for transparent. It just had to be converted from 'indexed' to RGB or greyscale, then have the background removed. The file now has 4 colours, black, white, grey and transparent. You'll also notice the considerable size difference between the before and after. I have no idea why, but as you can see there is absolutely no difference in image quality. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

PS: I almost forgot. PNG compression is lossless so there is no benefit whatsoever to having no compression. The SVG will be even smaller, even though no compression is used (or required). It's just a text file after all. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Royal Standards of Australia

ResolvedNikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Request: Alrighty, I've been putting this one off for some time. The Royal Standard of Australia is made of 6 segments of equal size. However, there's a problem with them on these two flags. They should "fit" together, but currently they do not. Also, the Commonwealth Star on top could use a re-do, it is currently not even a full star, each point is a different piece. If possible, please redo the star with thinner borders, but the same shape and size (not wider or thinner points please). Fry1989 ^eh? 01:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I can't see the issues with this one. Have they been fixed? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 20:09, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

No. The problem is, the six segments should be set to fit together like a puzzle piece (see how the triangles below the eagle fit exactly together in File:Coat of arms of South Africa.svg?), but currently they're uneven and do not fit together (see at Standard of Australia (1962–2022).svg/2000px-Royal Standard of Australia (1962–2022).svg.png 2000px magnification), and also the first section representing New South Wales, the St George's Cross should fit within the black border, not stretch out over it. Second, if you remove the blue disk with Queen Lizzy's cypher, you will see that the Commonwealth Star is not actually a full star, but it's made up of 14 individual pieces. It would be nice to have it be made out an an actual 7-pointed star, and with thinner and more pointy borders (but I would appreciate the spoke ratio of the star generally maintained). See what I mean now? Fry1989 ^eh? 05:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

 Request taken by NikNaks 21:33, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

From what I've seen of the flag, the beveled Commonwealth Star has no (or very little) black borders, as opposed to the realllly thick ones it has now. If you can do it without borders, like the beveled stars on File:National emblem of Bangladesh.svg, that would be great. Thanks for taking! Fry1989 ^eh? 00:37, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Let me know how progress looks to you at Test.svg. Once I've done all the simple geometry, I'll add in the fancier bits and it should look fairly good. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 17:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

If you know of existing files for the central seal, the animals or the crowns, I can use them. The current ones are huge and somewhat broken and I would prefer to avoid using them. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 19:32, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

It's looking great. Most of the animals are alright and seem pretty close to pics of the flag I've seen. The only one I would change is the swan for Western Australia, I would use the swan from File:Flag of Western Australia 1870-1953.svg. The central disk with Queen Lizzy's cypher, you can use the one from Her Canadian standard if you prefer (File:Royal Standard of Canada.svg), but remember on the Aussie standard the laurel is within the blue disk, rather then surrounding it like on the Canadian one. The Commonwealth Star should also be a bit bigger, but other than that, looking good. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, do you intend to also do the shorter ratio version? Fry1989 ^eh? 21:07, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I'm just trying to get this one as good as possible first. I've somehow lost the white frill of the crown, for instance, so I'll have to modify that tomorrow, as well as remaking the star a little larger. Once that's done, it should be easy to change the ratios. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:25, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Request: Just the stars need a fix in the Australian civil air ensign, right now they're in some weird state that I can do anything with them. You can just take the stars from the File:Flag of Australia (converted).svg and put them on File:Civil Air Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg, and they wont need re-sizing. The Southern Cross constellation is supposed to be rotated counter-clockwise 45%.

The New Zealand air force ensign actually uses the Type D roundel, not the Type A currently on it. And the letters NZ could use a redo in block letter form, like you can see here.

The Syrian air force ensign just need to be made SVG. I'm not sure about the ratio, but it's a bit wider than a square ([10]). The national flag in canton, the stars should be more inward because it's a square version, when I made the PNG I just chopped off the sides. SVG elements are File:Flag of Syria.svg and File:Roundel of the Syrian Air Force.svg.

Thanks, but I have to ask that you use use British ensign I linked, and put the stars from File:Flag of Australia (converted).svg on it. I tested it, and the stars from the Aussie flag I linked are the right size for the British ensign without you needing to change their size. The Commonwealth Star is supposed to be equally in between the top and bottom of the lower left sky-blue quadrant, and aligned with the vertical bar of the St George's Cross like it is on the Australian national flag. Sorry. Fry1989 ^eh? 23:39, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I did do that, but I had to alter the sizes of the stars because the files were written very weirdly. The Aussie flag is written as if it's 30 000 wide, and the air ensign is only 35! Is the issue the size of the stars? I can generate some new ones that'll be exactly the right size using a program if you like. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 07:41, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. I took the British file, and the Aussie flag (the converted one I linked), and copied and pasted the stars right from the Aussie flag onto the British air ensign, and they're the right size, they just need a bit of repositioning. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I really don't think there are white or two different yellow colors. I've uploaded a better version in contour and form, but you have claimed the color and reverted.

Yes there are different colours, I sampled them directly from the original. I can only suggest that you calibrate your monitor if you are seeing such radically different colours. I don't know about you but I use a professional grade monitor which is manually calibrated every week (using an x-rite i1 Display 2 calibrator) as this is my trade. The colours you chose didn't come anywhere near the original colours. And yes, I used different stroke weights because the original does. For example the under arm strokes are thicker than the rest. Unlike a lot of people I manually trace so I know that the image is the same relative size (I enlarged the original before I traced) as the original. The text is aligned to the new circle, the soldier is aligned to the circle. I do know what I'm doing you know, but if you are so concerned that the image is off I suggest you upload your version as a new file and let the requester choose which he prefers. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with your professional monitor. This is a "photo" of a "printed pin", this yields at least twice a color distortion, also you can clearly see a blur.

And the images are not rendered correctly (also those in the following request). I'm afraid there's a lot left to do here. --Patrick87 (talk) 14:58, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I finally fixed the rendering and the alignment of the text, so this is probably resolved now. --Patrick87 (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

  What Airfrance447diag-de.png should look like

The key in File:Airfrance447diag-de.png says "kombüse" when it should say "kombüse/stauram" like File:Af447diag-de.svg does. This is because this is a translation of an English-language diagram that says "Galley/storage" - kombüse = galley, stauram = storage Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 21:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually it should be "Stauraum" in both images. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 19:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Karakalpakstani coat of arms

Request: Vectorize.. --112.210.52.85 11:24, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): That's easy: Take File:Emblem of Uzbekistan.svg, modify the flags and replace the text in the banner by "Қарақалпақстан".--Antemister (talk) 20:49, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

It's not quite so simple. The sunburst behind the bird is of a different color and has a radial gradient, although the gradient may be an illusion due to the low resolution. The two lower banners have a solid red stripe in them, not a white stripe with red borders. The mountains in the background are different. All in all, the PNG prototype is too small to be of use. This conversion should only be attempted if a better raster prototype can be located, at least four times larger than the present sample. — Quicksilver^@ 08:45, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 Done I have done a preliminary hand trace for the different elements. If a larger version is found, then the detail can be added, but as it is I think this is a fair representation. Please let me know if I've made any glaring errors. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 14:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

This looks very nice! Only thing I'd change are the sunrays (they appear too thick), you could decrease their width or use a gradient to achieve a similar effect like in the original. The orange parts of the banners on the left and right are a little to wide, too. -- Patrick87 (talk) 14:35, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Better? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 14:36, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, much better now. The most obvious difference remaining compared to the PNG version is the darker tone of the green – was this intended? Otherwise it's a fair representation of the source now. -- Patrick87 (talk) 16:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

The darker green was inherited from the CoA of Uzbekistan; I'm not sure which is correct. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 17:13, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

en:File:OpenJDK logo.png is claimed to be under copyright, and it's used on en.wiki by Fair Use. Fair Use is not accepted on Commons, so it wouldn't be safe to convert it to SVG (although it would be easy) and/or transferring it to Commons. If you think that it should be in Public Domain, please start a discussion in the appropriate place and report the result here. --Ricordisamoa (talk) 10:23, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the logo is copyright ineligible. The license tag at enwiki is incorrect, as the logo does not meet the threshold of originality. Even though the image is appropriate on Commons, I can't find a vector version of the logo online. --Wylve (talk) 11:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

The logo is now correctly licensed as {{Pd-textlogo}}, however I still wasn't able to find a vector version of the logo anywhere. I also tried to find the exact font used in the logo to recreate it from scratch but didn't succeed. It seems to be some variant of Glasgow font, but the version I got didn't match the original in all deatails. -- Patrick87 (talk) 02:20, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

  PNG 2
• 
  New SVG

Request: Unfortunately, while the SVG is a very good trace, it still has issues. Could someone please redo it into a good SVG? Fry1989 ^eh? 21:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): What are the issues? Be more specific. :P I can see a few stray bits of colour, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:37, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Well for example, all the yellow is one big chunk, when it should be separate parts, the shield, the banner, the bird and olive branch. The part with the three colours of the flag should be independent, when it's actually all yellow with the red and green on top. Lastly, there should be transparency where the coat of arms ends. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:05, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

The SVG is a pretty good reflection of the image it was vectorized from. Anyway I mostly fixed transparency (the easy part). AnonMoos (talk) 10:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but there is still alot of crap and layers in there that shouldn't be, but come with the territory of a direct trace. I tried to clean up what I can, but the file would still benefit from being made the way it was supposed to, with all the pieces and elements separate. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:46, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Now separated bird and shield (as well as the yellow flag partition just formally). The path objects are now given meaningful ids so you can easily identify them. It seems to be slowly approaching the goal. --Flekstro (talk) 15:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

What remains to be fixed here? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 14:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

I have made the bird opaque, as requested. Anything else? The SVG is by no means perfect to use, but it seems to be accurate at least. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:38, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

For those crown experts here, is it possible to create SVGs for the earlier flags with slightly different crowns, as shown in de:Flagge der Bahamas. I'am sure that those corwon do already exist as SVGs.--Antemister (talk) 19:52, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Request: Probably because of the huge file size, this file does not render a thumbnail. Can someone rescale it or try regenerating the thumbnail? --Sreejith K (talk) 12:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I suggest that this is an inappropriate image for SVG. When there are several megabytes of elements, and none of them are language-specific, why not just take a screen shot of it at maximum resolution and use a PNG version? This should compress very well as a PNG, so you can use a very large screen and won't lose much fine detail. CLDunlap (talk) 20:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

If this image cannot be compressed to a size that is useful, lets do was you suggested. Can you please upload a PNG file with lesser than 12 MP resolution? --Sreejith K (talk) 10:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Even at that size, if you embed it in an SVG file the size of the SVG size will become very large. Converting the logo to SVG will allow it to be scaled infinitely, while keeping the file size relatively small. Jfd34 (talk) 09:59, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

The Category descriptions points to Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Firefox.svg as Mozilla does not allow high-resolution version of their trademarked logos. Matt (talk) 14:26, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

You're wrong. Your remark was true on past Firefox versions but not with the current logos that are given 3 open licences (MPL, GPL and LGPL), thus permitting publication, reuse and production and publication of derived works (provided that one of the 3 licences are kept, with the required attribution). In other words, the vectorization request os perfectly valid (and the Mozilla Foundation will be also credited on them, having full rights to reuse these SVG versions if it wishes...). The 3 open licences are covering the copytight, the author's right, but not directly the trademark right (but as long as we are told to keep the attribution and say this is atrademark, it is safe to publish the logo or any derived logo that preserves the same trademark right). verdy_p (talk) 16:06, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Well. There a vector version of logo on Mozilla site - in Adobe Illustrator CS4 EPS format. But it is can't be simple exported to svg - many of filters not implemented yet in RSVG(render used on wikipedia). It's need a big editing, to make similar logo without that filters. But altering is not permitted! Just using a png file, and providing link to to vector(for print's) - best way in my opinion.

The EPS-Version doesn't contain unsupported filters but a whole lot of raster graphics to create the gradients (and "prevent" incompatibilities)... It's not possible to convert it to SVG without the original vector file. -- Patrick87 (talk) 02:12, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Err.. What? Do you even downloaded and opened the EPS file in Illustrator? There NO ANY RASTER GRAPHICS! It's 100% vector file - just simple curves with gradient fills, gausian blur, and color blending modes.

No, I used Inkscape. Those must be proprietary extensions by Adobe then that do not follow the SVG standard. Are you able to export a valid plain SVG without any Adobe extensions and not containing rasterized effects? -- Patrick87 (talk) 19:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

It is not the purpose of this lab to attempt to mimic trademarked logos like this. Any errors or inaccuracies would be a misrepresentation, so we shouldn't even attempt it. It's clear that they haven't released an SVG version, so if no-one can convert the EPS there's nothing we can reasonably do. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Request: It would be nice if someone could review these graphics and may improve them or do some bugfix (I'm using Adobe Illustrator and so the text is a bit displaced). Thanks and greetings — Allrounder (talk) 01:06, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I didn't see any great problems, but I moved a few captions slightly, and changed the wording of the bottom white box to "18 years and older". The discrepancies between what you see in Illustrator and how the images render on Commons are due to the fact that the "ArialMT" font is not installed on Wikimedia servers (which substitute a different font with different metrics). If you could install a font which is on the Wikimedia servers onto your own system, and specify it in the SVG file, then theoretically you could see the same thing in Illustrator as here... AnonMoos (talk) 03:17, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Also, the diagram seems to be modified from one near the beginning of the second volume of the Penguin Atlas of World History by Kinder and Hilgemann, but I'm not sure all the changes are improvements. There's no indications of the Supreme Court's ability to rule laws and executive actions unconstitutional, and the senate's main authority over the armed forces is funding. The senate has the ability to confirm presidential appointees and supreme court justices, but no direct power to give orders to the cabinet or Supreme Court. The president does not have a "suspensive" veto over legislation, but a veto overridable by a 2/3 vote of both houses. "Executive Office" is the name of a building, but not really of a layer of government. "§" seems to mean legislative authority, but is not explained. Etc. AnonMoos (talk) 05:49, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't know a Penguin Atlas of World History - what's that? I made this one by myself. Allthough I'm quite sure that the graphics should be correct. However, I made a request at w:Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics/American_politics.

• There's no indications of the Supreme Court's ability to rule laws and executive actions unconstitutional -> I could improve that by connecting the Supreme court and the red arrow.
• The senate has [...] no direct power to give orders to the cabinet or Supreme Court -> Right. But where's the allusion on that in the graphic?
• The president does not have a "suspensive" veto over legislation, but a veto overridable by a 2/3 vote of both houses -> A "suspensive veto" means exactly that: "a suspensive veto is the ability of an executive to return a bill to the legislature without the bill becoming law. The veto is suspensive because the Congress can override the veto, given a large enough majority. The opposite of a suspensive veto is an absolute veto, a power the President does not have." [12]
• "Executive Office" is the name of a building -> No, see w:Executive Office of the President of the United States
• "§" seems to mean legislative authority -> Right. I think that's prettyself-explanatory ;-)

Greetings — Allrounder (talk) 00:01, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

The "Penguin Atlas of World History" is a translation of something which was apparently called the "DTV (Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag) Atlas zur Weltgeschichte" in 1966 (have no idea whether it may have been republished since). I've noticed that a number of political diagrams originating from German Wikipedia seemed to be based on diagrams in that book...

—The blue arrow from the Senate to the Cabinet and to the Armed Forces is oversimplified, since it looks exactly like the blue arrow from the president to the Cabinet and to the Armed Forces, yet the authority of the Senate and the authority of the president are quite different...

—The president's veto power would not usually be called "suspensive" by native English speakers; a veto is final (with no time limit) unless the Congress acts against it within a specified time. "Suspensive" would tend to imply the power to suspend the operation of laws for a certain time, or in the face of emergency.

—The Executive Office of the President is his personal staff (plus outside advisers and certain extra-departmental "czars"), but few outside Washington know or care much about it, and it isn't part of the constitution. The president controls the executive government of the United States, not just the Executive Office.

—I really don't know that § would be very "self-explanatory" to those who haven't perused the Penguin Atlas of World History... -- AnonMoos (talk) 04:27, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

OK, I don't know the Atlas zur Weltgeschichte...

• Yea, of course the powers are slightly different, but this graphic does not intend to describe every detail of the political system, but give a overview about it. But of course you're right that the arrows could be too similar - what would you change to make them more understand- and differentiable?
• Hmm, I'm not a native speaker (like you may have noticed ;-), but I think that this expression is known in English political science, too though (see eg the link). And the presidential veto is not final, but does suspend the operation of laws for a certain time...
• The w:Executive Office of the President of the United States even has it own WP-article; of course the President controls all of the executive, but the graphic leaves no doubt about this though..
• Yes, § is IMHO really self-explanatory (or with what could you confuse it?)

• The blue arrow from the state legislatures to the state courts should be removed. There are many ways of selecting state courts, depending on the state, and I don't think they can be shown on a simplistic diagram like this one. They include direct partisan election, Federal-style appointment and confirmation, Missouri plan-selection of candidates by a judicial nomination convention and a gubernatorial selection of one of them (the Missouri plan also includes "yes-or-no" retention elections). – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Of course there are many ways of selecting state courts but all of them have sth to do with the state legislature. But u can remove the arrow if you want to.. — Allrounder (talk) 13:12, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
