'''Article(s):''' [[Ratanakiri Province]]

'''Request:''' This article is at FAC, and a reviewer has requested a new map for the infobox. Can someone make something using the first map, to highlight Ratanakiri so it looks something like the Chiang Mai map? The colors can be whatever you think looks best. Thanks!

'''Article(s):''' [[Ratanakiri]]

'''Request:''' This SVG has labels for the two largest rivers (view at full size). But they don't show up at lower resolutions. Why not? I want these visible in the thumbnail because it's important for the article. [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 13:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion(s):''' I don't know what's wrong with the SVG, I notice the lat/long labels don't show up either. I exported out a PNG version you can use in the meantime. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 14:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

:Let me take a look at it, although I fear that if Mr Musser can't fix it, I can't either. [[User:MapMaster|MapMaster]] ([[User talk:MapMaster|talk]]) 04:18, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

::That is weird, you could try my catchall solution, vectorize the problem text with object to path ;) [[User:TastyCakes|TastyCakes]] ([[User talk:TastyCakes|talk]]) 04:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

:::That is what I actually did. The Wikipedia renderer will not show text that has been placed on paths, so I changed the text (object) to a path. I also moved the text for the southern river under the river. I find it's better to place text on the outside of a concave image (like the river in this case) rather than inside. Inside text looks cramped in my opinion.

:::By the way, I will often convert '''all''' the text in a map to paths because of the somewhat imprecise way Wikipedia renders text (which in turn has something to do with the fonts available to Wikipedia).

:::Regarding the coordinates, their non-rendering had something to do with them being all one big text field. I replaced the one big text field with 4 individual fields.

:::Hope you like it. [[User:MapMaster|MapMaster]] ([[User talk:MapMaster|talk]]) 05:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Thanks so much, especially for fixing the river name text. I really need to learn inkscape one of these days so I can make these changes myself.... [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 16:06, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
