Thank you for uploading IndependentScotland.png!
Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

I notice your graph was in .png format. Assuming it was made in Excel, it should be fairly easy to convert it to an SVG, removing pixellation and blur (as I've done here):
- Copy the graph from Excel and paste it with source formatting into Word/Publisher;
- Save as a PDF;
- Import the PDF into Inkscape;
- Go to Edit > Resize page to selection (or use ⇧ Shift+Ctrl+R) to correct the border;
- Save as any .svg. (I usually choose Inkscape SVG.)
Feel free to ask any questions. I look forward to seeing your graph!—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 21:57, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
