SVG Not done Properly

Article(s): Ulyanovsk

Request: The SVG above is very blurry, and looks like a raster. Can it be redone? Connormah (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Is there an original raster? An external link works too. Zoo Fari 22:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the crown if from the top of this coat of arms. Connormah (talk) 03:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Alright, I know this image is fair-use, but I think it needs to be converted to a vector. The quality of this image, I feel in innapropriate for Wikipedia and NEEDS a SVG. Thanks in advance to whoever does this. Connormah (talk) 23:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One question: Can you find a free raster of it somewhere, so the SVG can be free? A copyrighted country coat of arms feels like a throwback to the bad old days of vector-images and would destroy most of its usefulness... 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where would you suggest I search? Connormah (talk) 05:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, can you just upload it under a non-free use rationale? Connormah (talk) 02:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I was very confused when I made that comment. I'm pretty sure people have created free SVGs from fair use ones (That Commonwealth Games one comes to mind), so finding a "free" raster is not required? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:43, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama of Târgovişte, Romania

Article(s): Târgovişte

Request: Hi. I need this photo to be fixed. There are some issues:

In the left section of the photo it can be seen the difference between the last 2 joined photo.
The bottom left part of the image is occupied by a stone pillar. Can it be removed?
The colors may need adjusting as well as the brightness, contrast, etc.
I think the horizon can be straighted.

This is all it needs to be done (in my opinion). If you find out other issues please solve them. Thank you very much.—Sebitalk 12:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The easiest way to fix this would be to use the source images to create a completely new panorama. Do you have access to them? wadester 16 05:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do, they are made by myself. Here is a link with a .rar file containing the images. It would be great if you can make a better panorama, because it is the only I know to exist on the Internet. Thank you very much for your help.—Sebitalk 16:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have restitched the panorama to get rid of the stripe on the left, but there's not much I can do about the brightness/contrast and stone block. I've already pushed the brightness so far it won't really take any more and the pillar is a bit beyond my abilities with a cloning brush; maybe someone else can have a go. Time3000 (talk) 09:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you for your work. If someone else can resolve the other requests, please do it. Thank you again—Sebitalk 15:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kinetic Theory request

Request: I have several images (simple curves on a 2-d plot) that I have scanned from an original text. I would like to have them included in this article. I can email them to you if you like. -- logger9 (talk) 03:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Post them somewhere and link to them here (don't upload to WP if they're copyrighted). Also I'd like to point out that this image File:Coll_3.jpg unless you operated the SEM and captured that image then you can't claim copyright, you put a source that is clearly within range of applicable copyright laws. That image probably will be prodded for deletion as soon as it leaves your personal namespace or until someone else sees it. Also for your article be sure to include as many sources and references as you can, didn't see many when I browsed it. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 13:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response !

I created that micrograph personally on the scanning electron microscope @ UCLA (Boelter Hall). In fact, that is a collage, and I was up most of the night getting it all done! There is no conflict whatsoever :-) In addition, I have published it previously on my own personal website, which has been declared as Public Domain in its entirety.

Regarding the article, all of the main sections were rewritten by me from a single source, and that is stated clearly in the references (on top).

Regarding the figures: the entire (Mott & Jones) text is available in digital format here. Open up the text ("Look Inside This Book") and paginate to Figure 1 on page 7 (using arrows on top next to "Contents" and "Search"). Also Figure 5 (p. 16) and Figure 7 (p. 24). Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks again ! -- logger9 (talk) 02:18, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you the author of this research/book? The book was published in 1936, so copyright has not expired yet. Also the Google book scans you provided does not provide perfect detail of the smaller text, even zoomed in. I can't guess what some of the symbols are. Since by the name you provided in the micrograph image, I'm assuming you're not Mott Nf or Jones H which is the published authors of "The theory of the properties of metals and alloys." Explain how these graphs/data would be within the copyright rules of wikipedia for inclusion/digitalization? — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 00:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm not the author. I just want someone to re-sketch those simple graphs -- and I have larger scanned copies. The first one is not even quantitiatve. It's just a comparison of 2 different types of curves.

If that is against the rules, then forget about it....-- logger9 (talk) 01:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if a graph it's self can be copyrighted, but the data used to make the graph probably can be. Someone else with some experience here should weigh in.... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 02:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows....maybe 10 years or so from now, we could actually accomplish something here. Now isn't THAT a scary thought ??? -- logger9 (talk) 21:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template it. Create a template with text [[File:Image {{{1}}}.png|thumb|200px|blah blah]], then use the template. This requires, however, that you have for every (relevant) value of {{{1}}} a corresponding image. Shouldn't be too hard with SVG, just boring. MER-C 10:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is really boring. any other option ? --Naveenpf 02:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

What is it you want to do? Generate a set of images with a shield with the number on it? Or do you want to dynamically create such an image. I really don't understand the idea here. If you are doing this by yourself on your local computer, you can simply put a string in place of the X that won't appear up in the SVG, such as REPLACEME, then use Bash+sed/python/whatever to use regular expressions to solve your problem. If you can provide more background on the problem, then a solution might be available. User A1 (talk) 05:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look @ {{MES-E}}. You need nearly identically named files, but that's the most elegant way. As far as I know there's no way to pass the number directly to the SVG rendered (Which is good, that would be a massive security hole). 76.117.247.55 (talk) 02:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that this request is stale, but there will be others like it in the future. Can we satisfy them all at a single (if challenging) stroke? Let's make a template which takes a text parameter for the road number and superimposes it on a background SVG of an unnumbered shield for this road type. We can model this on {{Location map}} to allow syntax like

{{Road shield|India NH|width=30|number=1|color=black|font=whatever}}

This would require "Road shield India NH.svg" with the yellow shield and letters NH and a blank space for the number. However, we only need one simple SVG per road type (maybe five SVGs per country), not one per individual highway. ("Number" here is a shorthand for any road designator: "number=A601(M)" could give a valid British road sign.) Certes (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would that work for scaled images? IE. would the letter show up in the right place, size, etc? If so, that would be VERY useful. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 19:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying it now but I'm about to have a Wikibreak and don't think I'll get anything useful published before I go away. First indications are that it is difficult and the resulting templates will be confusing, but it will probably work. Scaling should just be a matter of doing some arithmetic in the template to set position and font-size = width * some scaling factors.

A few design tweaks: The "India NH" bit is not just an SVG but a simple template specifying the background image (any usual format) and the font, colour and size of the text to add. Let's call it "marker" rather than "shield" so it will be attractive to nations like the UK with other sign shapes. I'd also like to use standard country codes followed by a country-dependent road class. That gives us a simplified use like

{{Road marker|IN NH|1}}

The font, default size, etc. come from sub-template Road_marker_IN_NH but can be over-ridden with named parameters if desired. Certes (talk) 19:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Road marker|IN NH|123}} The template is now available for testing. For example, the shield shown on the right is not an SVG file specific to one (fictional) route; this paragraph contains the template usage {{Road marker|IN NH|123}}. Please see {{Road marker}} for further details, including a full list of optional parameters such as custom captions. I suggest we pause to collect comments at this point before rushing into using the template in articles. Certes (talk) 21:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - BTW, I would prefer that the labels are for particular organs rather than the different systems listed in the image description, e.g. book lungs, sucking stomach, digestive gland, heart, brain, etc. Hope that's not a problem. Kaldari (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done how does that look? --Pbroks13^talk? 20:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! That looks amazing. A few small requests. I haven't been able to figure out what the gray branch-like feature connected to the abdominal intestines is, nor does it appear on other spider anatomy diagrams, so I think maybe we should just remove it to reduce confusion. Please change "Silk gland" to "Silk glands" as there are several (and they are of different types). You might want to move the red dot connected to the Brain label up some (closer to the eyes) so that it's easier to see what it's pointing to (right now it's located near several other features, so it might not be clear that it's indicating the blue blob underneath). Also, would it be possible to make the outline for the body wall a tad thicker? Right now it's a bit hard to make out in thumbnails. Kaldari (talk) 21:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, hows that? --Pbroks13^talk? 21:20, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good. What did you think about the idea of removing the unlabeled gray branch-like feature attached to the intestine? Kaldari (talk) 21:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also, it's a little bit difficult to follow the path of the esophagus to the stomach since it's similar in color to the obscured blood vessel right where the two of them cross under the intestine, i.e. if you follow the wrong path it leads to the heart rather than the stomach. If there's a way to make it more obvious that the esophagus is connected to the stomach, that would be great. Sorry to be so picky! Kaldari (talk) 21:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Its not a problem. I made the stomach greener, what do you think? --Pbroks13^talk? 22:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hmm, something went wrong. The image looks messed up now (weird yellow arch over the middle of the image). I actually like the entire digestive system being the same color (yellow) so that you can see that it is one system. Would it be possible to adjust the paths of the blood vessel and the esophagus so that they don't both pass under the intestine at the same place? Kaldari (talk) 22:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - Adjusted. hows that? --Pbroks13^talk? 22:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Awesome. Kaldari (talk) 22:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Wouldn't it be better to use numbers as labels, so editors can add a legend - see for example File:Spider main organs labelled.png and how it's used at Spider. Advantages of this approach:
        Easier to rescale the image.
        
        Easier to use for other purposes, perhaps using legend text that emphasises specific aspects.
        
        easier to adapt to WPs in other langages. --Philcha (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        
        It should be possible to do both I imagine. Kaldari (talk) 22:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another nitpick - In the original graphic, the tube connecting the stomach to the intestines passes between the two major cephalothorax blood vessels. In your version, it passes behind both of them, which is a bit odd since those vessels go to the left and right sides of the cephalothorax, while the stomach is supposed to be sitting in the center. Kaldari (talk) 22:43, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A correction - The yellow dead-end labeled "Digestive gland" in the cephalothorax (front part of the body) actually has a specific name. It is called a "Digestive cecum". The yellow branching thing labeled "Digestive gland" at the back of the body is actually called a "Digestive tubule". Can you change those labels? Kaldari (talk) 22:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I can't upload a layered RGB image as its filesize is in excess of the 100MB upload limit.

It's correct that gif limits to 256 colors, though it's per layer, so each layer can have own colormap. _→AzaToth 20:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ISS Configuration 2J/A

Article(s): International Space Station, Assembly of the International Space Station, Integrated Truss Structure

Request: I'd be grateful if someone could look this SVG over, as I'm at a loss. For some reason, in articles and the image description page, the petals on PMA 3 have no colour fill, but then when the SVG is viewed directly, they do. However, MRM 1 and the Multi-Purpose Laboratory Module turn black, as do the support struts on the left of Columbus. I've checked the code is valid, which it is, and so I really have no idea as to why its behaving in this manner. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and if someone could separate the S0 truss segment from the MSS/Canadarm2 and rotate the truss 180 degrees, that'd be grand too. Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 16:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I don't know what's wrong. Maybe an expert at SVG codes can take a look at it. Zoo Fari 19:00, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no SVG expert but line 5106 (MRM 1?) looks suspicious: it has both color:black and fill:url(something pink and clever). Perhaps these two attributes are inconsistent, and some renderers give priority to color whilst others show the desired gradient? Certes (talk) 22:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Petals fixed. Simply an issue the definitions not being in the start of the file. So a "dumb" svg viewer such as MediaWiki uses sees the call for a particular pattern it doesn't know anything about (yet).

Did notice however that one of the components of the "European Lab Columbus" has no colour fill since "linearGradient6936" and "linearGradient6952" aren't defined. But I'll leave this for someone with artistic skills to fix. Same for the MSS/Canadarm2 edit.

Removing the "color:black;fill:url" inconsistency doesn't seem to change anything but I did it anyway for the sake of good coding. The purple going black was a result of there being two different ways of defining the stop colour. I changed to the one used for the US colours which solved the issue. The black in "European Lab Columbus" is due to another missing definition (and the two mentioned above). /Lokal _Profil 00:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hangebah - Aerial tramway (since it only refers to Roosevelt Island Tramway) but might also be SkyTrain or (Aerial?) Monorail... I think Aerial tramway is most broad and best
People Mover - People Mover

Streckengebundene Nahverkehrssysteme = I think "Rail Transit Systems" is the best (Improve distance/rail transport systems (per google))

Oppinion:

Comment Just like to point out that the four monitors illustrate the power of the product, the product is gear'd for people who would use multiple monitors. This isn't a simple KVM, it's sending the whole PCI bus across a fiber optic cable to a remote non-3d graphics card. It's intended for ultra-secure/quite/space-limited solutions where the end-user is very likely to be using multiple monitors. So I would probably suggest that the new version use four monitors like this. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 06:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the artist can draw it with 4 or 1 monitor, I'm just asking for a SVG in the spirit of the KVM request above (IE. Not slavishly faithful to the current one). 76.117.247.55 (talk) 02:57, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, only 2 things: I think that the 3 monitors should be all connected at once (The description appears to make it into a monitor extender, rather than just a KVM), and the port attached to the computer can be removed. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 00:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 19:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should do a broken line to the computer to indicate distance, this is intended for LONG distance, ergo fiber optic connection, and it's actually transferring the actual PCI Express bus across the fiber optic line to the remote video card, it's entirely different than a KVM where the video card signal is transfered thus GREATLY limiting distance. Since the bandwidth across the bus is vastly less than that from the video card to the monitor it allows MUCH greater distance (and security). — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 21:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: The first image in Edinburgh's Telford College is displayed at 400px but the GIF is 3540×2610 pixels (3.89 MB). It is used nowhere else. Should we replace it with a smaller version, say 400x295px as displayed (54kB)? I can do this myself; I'm just not sure what size to choose and whether to take action at all, as there is a good argument for preserving all the resolution we have.

Certes (talk) 18:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): First off, I changed the file to jpg, reduced the size some, and reduced the grainyness (not sure of the technical term).

Request: Bluntly: un-uglify. The blue ovals should be replaced by two atomic nuclei (compressed horizontally, so they are oval-shaped) smashing each other.

Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 21:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Does this phenomenon occur with nuclei of any particular element(s)? For example, would helium-4 look ok as "a generic nucleus"? Certes (talk) 21:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it occurs with lead ions (no need to be accurate with the number of protons/neutrons, but there should be more than 2/2).Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 22:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a bit less ugly? Do you want the arrows or text restored on the nuclei, or were they unwanted decoration? Certes (talk) 14:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well it is less ugly, but still could be tweaked. Specifically:

There should be arrows indicating that the two nuclei are moving towards each other and are about to collide in the middle of the QGP area.
The nuclei are also rather ugly (no offense) and unrecognizable compared to the usual style (mainly because of the gaps between protons/neutrons), and the pancaking effect is too subtle. Perhaps you can steal the nuclei artwork from File:Beta-minus_Decay.svg or File:Nucleus_drawing.png, and compress it 50% horizontally (but maybe that is too extreme and 66% would be best?).
It would be "more readable" if "Quark–gluon" was kept on the same line.
The way the pink area is drawn is a bit misleading, it should be less of an "hourglass" shape and more of a shapeless blob.

Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 17:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Second attempt - how's that? The QGP is circular but I hope the blur makes it suitable amorphous. Certes (talk) 19:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the QGP looks great. But the nuclei look too big for the picture I think. Shrinking them by 50% should yield a nice result, and I would further increase the pancaking. I doubt there will be more tweaking necessary after than. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 22:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: The ship in the SVG version was created using a poor autotrace method. Someone please make the ship higher quality. The original bitmap file may help. Hugh Jass (talk) 07:36, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by hydrox. The colors, and especially the propotions, are a bit off from the original. Should they be fixed as well to be more similiar with e.g. File:Murray_River_Flag_(Upper).svg? hydrox (talk) 11:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The colours in the PNG version seem to be arbitrary. The colours in the SVG version, however, were taken from "File:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg", a far more relevant source.
As for the proportions, only the overall ratio and the width of the white stripes should be changed, every-thing else is fine.
- The original PNG's proportions were mostly absurd so I simplified them to:
  - The thickness of the white section is 17/60 of the vertical height of the flag. By the white section, I don't mean each individual white stripe, I mean the total white area behind the blue one, just like how I made it in the SVG.
  - The thickness of the blue sections are 1/6 of the vertical height of the flag.
  - The diameter of the eight-pointed stars are 1/8 of the vertical height of the flag. This also means that they occupy 2/3 of the space they could possibly fit in.
  - The eight-pointed stars are regular octagrams with one point facing straight up.
  - The centres of the octagrams are arranged so that one is at the very centre of the entire flag, and the rest of them are equidistant from the centre and any edge of the flag.
  - I just estimated the size and placement of the ship.
- The original dimensions from the PNG are exactly (in terms of the vertical height of the flag):
  - Thickness of white section: 5/18. This sounds more reasonable than my simplication, come to think of it.
  - Thickness of blue sections: 37/216.
  - Diameter of eight-pointed stars: 25/216.
  - Type of eight-pointed star: Impossible to tell. Looks similar enough to a regular octagram facing straight up, anyway.
  - Arrangement of stars: Same as my simplification.
  - Ship: Vertical height is 37/108. Placement is that it is centred in the red area given.
Concerning the overall ratio: the PNG's ratio is 216:385, which is completely ridiculous and cannot be simplified, so I reasoned that this was erroneous and re-made it with 2:3 as it is a common ratio. However, looking at Flags of Australia, it is clear that nearly all (if not all) Australian flags have the 1:2 ratio, so that is what it should be changed to.
If it helps, the flag being flown on the ship is "File:English_White_Ensign_1620.svg".
So, in summary, your task is now:
- Make the ship better.
- Make the flag 1:2 ratio, while keeping to my simplified proportions (because the original ones were absurd), with the exception of the white area.
- Change the thickness of the white area to 5/18 of the height of the flag.

Yes, I'm working on this over the weekend. hydrox (talk) 12:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that it took so long. I have uploaded a new, 1:2 ratio version. Vectorizing the frigate was an easy job, but the reason why it took so long was because I was looking at flags like File:Australian_Federation_Flag.svg and File:Australian Colonial Flag.svg which have similiar bordering stars in a bit different location. Their arrangement places the bordering stars a bit closer to the flag edges and makes the flag look more symmetric. However, in the original, as you posted above, the centers of each star are arranged mid-way between the center star's center and each border, an arrangement which places them all closer to the center of the flag, and which I have honoured in my version (if I did my math right.. ) hydrox (talk) 05:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC) edit: third recalculation still proves valid. The center top legs of each star are located at (x,y): 450, 196.875; 225,196.875; 675,196.875; 450,309.375; 450,84.375. Each star is 56.25 x 56.25. Total flag dimensions: 900x450. hydrox (talk) 07:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
