Sorry, was away for a bit. I did it in Inkscape, but not automagically: I just used the bezier tool, putting control points wherever I thought they'd be needed, and then went around with the curve editing tool fitting the curve as precisely as possible. To find the inaccurate bits, I put the jpeg in front of the curve, and deleted it, then went "undo - redo" to see which parts moved. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 10:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

::I think this map will benefit from being turned 90 degrees counterclockwise and made bigger so that the labels aren't squished in. Lowercase labels will help too, IMO. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 19:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

::::Yes, only I wonder if you could increase the size of the base map to as to avoid the appearance of all the text crowding it (Also it would allow writing "F.H." out) and secondly, the edges of the things like the North arrow would appear sharper and less "traced". Finally, I suspect the text should be "Jones' fleet" for the possessive. The idea of the turning it is probably a good one; if anyone later determines it would be better the original way, it should be easier to change an SVG than a GIF.

:::::Here you go. Oh and [[User: auawise|Auawise]], when making new versions of a file you may simply upload them over the previous image. This prevents Wikipedia from having a bazillion versions of one file under different names. If you're starting completely over or doing something radically different, a new file with a version number may be warranted, but for minor fixes (color changes, etc.) it's not necessary.

'''Request:''' I recently added a png version of this graph, made by matlab, source code is in the png talk page. At the image page, an infobox appeared saying that the image would be better in svg format, so I tried to change it. Everything worked, except the aspect ratio: the svg version is wrong. But I also noticed that the svg file is larger than the png file. So I have two question: 1. Is svg really better in this case? I would think not, because the svg file is larger, but maybe that's not relevant. 2. Can somebody help me change the aspect ratio of the svg file?-- [[User:EdgeNavidad|EdgeNavidad]] ([[User talk:EdgeNavidad|talk]]) 07:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:'''
:Think something had got messed up in the aspect ratio where the image got forced from 399x306px to 200x200px. The quick fix is to wash it through Inkscape. I.e. open the file in inkscape and copy everything into a new file with the same size (which I did). The nicer solution is to remove the offending bit of code, this however normally requires a few tries since mediaWiki seems to render everything in it's own unique way.
:Even if the svg has a larger filesize I'd still say it's preferable since it's easily translated and updated, but then that's just me./[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 15:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
