Line 248 ⟶ 253:
:I've uploaded another cleaned-up version [[:Image:Haeckel Discomedusae 8 cleanup2.jpg|here]] made in the GIMP. What I did was I first constructed a crude mask of the figures, scaled down the image and used the Resynthesizer plugin to remove the figures. I then scaled the resulting "blank page" up again and inserted it as a new layer in "divide" mode, thus removing the shadows and the paper color. I also selectively blurred a copy of the page and, using the difference of the blurred version and the "blank page" as a mask (after levels adjustment), combined the blurred version with the original so that the background was blurred but the figures stayed crisp; this got rid of the dust and paper grain in the background.

::Yeah, Resynthesizer is useful, thanks for that tip (though it's pretty CPU/RAM hungry). The latest image would probably look better if its black levels were corrected.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand your request. Wikipedia already have an illustration of the Knight's tour. Is the pattern in your book different from this one? It looks like a simple illustration to do and both illustrations should be made SVGs. So, please explain what the pattern looks like. Maybe you could provide a list of moves (eg A1-B3-A5- etc)?

:It's much less complex than I'm making it. The pattern in the book is completely different from the one we have, and is not the general pattern the book cites as a typical tour for subject. When I get home, I can do the list of moves (although I'm very chess-dumb) or provide the source image this would derive from, whatever works. --[[User:Badlydrawnjeff|badlydrawnjeff]] <small>[[

:::You know, looking at your image, I realized the one case I hadn't really considered was a cyclic tour. Having the dot and the arrow superimposed like that doesn't look all that nice. I'm not sure what to do about it, though. One option would be to move the arrow back a bit, but that means I'd also have to adjust the length of the last line segment; in its current position, the arrow quite nicely hides the end of the line. Still, it's doable. The other option would be to just dispense with the arrow entirely if the line ends coincide. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 14:38, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
