I took a shot at redoing the letters; not sure if they feel like they match the eagle but you can use it if you think it's better. The eagle was taken directly from Cradel's version... doing any better with that is well beyond me. Carl Lindberg (talk) 07:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
  • Well, unless someone wants to take a crack at cleaning up the eagle pixel by pixek, I think it looks much better. Thank you, all. --evrik (talk)

I hate to say it, but that may be the end result: It's impossible to tell what the eagle's holding, or what's on the shield. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 16:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Looks like a fairly standard federal eagle... spade shaped shield (similar to the presidential seal) with three stars and stripes, holding an olive branch and three arrows. We would still have to guess at the details though so unless we find a better version to work off of, this is probably good. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Graphist opinion: This is not as easy as one might think. It's really hard to fix glare; you have to basically re-draw the area using "cheating" tools like the clone brush.

The last ones are Image:Flag of Brazil.svg, Image:Flag of Venezuela.svg and Image:Flag of Argentina.svg. Don't forget to credit all of the sources for your images in the image description.

Oh ye, its corrupted too. Mangwanani (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
It's probably a naming problem. Brazil, Venezuela and Chile probably all have definitions/elements called "star" (or star1 etc). Both Argentina and Uruguay probably have definitions/elements called sun. That's my first guess anyhow. The problem with the Ecuadorian flag is that it is wider then the others. When it's squashed the CoA should remain unsquashed (but still centered). /Lokal_Profil 19:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Article(s): Coat of arms of Gagauzia

Request: SVGify, colors described at Coat of arms of Gagauzia -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 05:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Graphist opinion:

In the mean time, I've removed the transparency from the GIF image and uploaded a transparent version in PNG format; that way at least it scales down better. By the way, looking at the color levels on the original GIF (and in particular the few "blacker-than-black" pixels around the banner), I have a suspicion that this may have originally been a color image that someone converted to grayscale. Anyone have any idea about the original colors? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:53, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

He said, "colors described at Coat of arms of Gagauzia." I could not find a colored version on Google as a model... James1293 (talk) 20:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I think he meant the articel on the Coat (Or the FotW page it references). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 14:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
The article states "...white field, the yellow semi-circle of the rising sun. The shield is framed by golden spikes, themselves surrounded by a representation of the flag of Gagauzia. In the lower part, beyond the limits of the shield, is a conventional representation of grapevine leaves and grapes. The shield is surmounted by three five-pointed golden stars forming an equilateral triangle." I have added the flag for the color scheme. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 14:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Humm, after entering the countries in the WOSM-Interamerican Region and WAGGGS-Western Hemisphere Region I'm wondering which countries should be highlighted in addition (and why). Specifically my map includes nothing to the west of Hawaii. /Lokal_Profil 15:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ok uploaded two separate maps. Any feedback is more then welcome. /Lokal_Profil 23:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The reason those other island groupings are included is that they are part of the Aloha Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Please see Scouting in Hawaii, and it will give you the rationale for those islands being included. Sometimes it is okay to trust that other editors know what they are asking for. ;) Thanks, Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:16, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The problem is that since I'm colouring in by iso code rather then by tryinng to figure out which country is which on the old map I was limited by the information I had. Now that I have a breakdown of the last islands I'll add them =) /Lokal_Profil 15:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK, the countries under Aloha Council have been added to the WOSM map. Is there a similar situation for WAGGS? Please also tell me if you see any other places missing ora anything else. /Lokal_Profil 16:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Just realised that I'd missed the USA insular areas which I'm guessing fall under Boy/Girl scouts of USA. So I'll add as, gu, mp, pr and vi to both maps. With respect to my previous question it's now reduced to whether the Marshall islands, Micronesia and Palau should be part of the WAGGS map. /Lokal_Profil 16:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Also the ocean is no square as requested. /Lokal_Profil 16:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please use the WOSM map for the base, and overwrite it onto Image:WAGGGS-WOSMWestHemMap-World.svg so the name is correct-it should be "Image:WAGGGS-WOSMWestHemMap-World.svg". Please include Hawaii as part of the United States. Thank you so much! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
No problems. Do you want associate and full members in the same colour? Hawaii is included it's just that Hawaii doesn't have a circle since it's part of "mainland" US. /Lokal_Profil 03:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

X-rays and gamma rays are in image 1, as are the wavelengths (just stated in meters and scientific notation rather than a bunch of different meter-based units. The gray text ("Near IR", "Thermal IR", "AM") is minor and I might be able to add that in, but it might disrupt the flow so much that it wouldn't be worth it.

Graphic designer needed

Latest comment: 17 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

I'm looking for a skilled graphic designer.

I need an image for a non-barnstar Wikipedia award with the theme "World Traveler".

I was thinking perhaps the following image, without the barnstar, and with the globe (or another one) superimposed over the Wikipedia globe (or the Wikipedia globe superimposed over it) - I'd like to see the world's countries and the puzzle pieces (with the continents more prominent).

The image also needs a passport laying on the surface beneath the globe stand (where its shadow is, but the shadow should be retained as well). The image's background must be transparent (not white like the background of the image below).

File:Interlingual Barnstar.png

Is this something you can do?

Good start. Can you change the globe to one where you can discern the continents? Then place it in the brass stand in the image above, then place the passport on the surface beneath the stand? The Transhumanist    07:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Article: Second Intifada

Request: I used an online program to create this SVG chart: Image:Intifada deaths.svg

It is currently in this article and section:

There I used this wikicode:

[[Image:Intifada deaths.svg|thumb|400px]]

In the caption it says "click image to enlarge."

So people do so, and arrive at the image description page where the image is at this size:

Can someone adjust the size of the image so that it is around 600 pixels wide on the commons page, commons:Image:Intifada deaths.svg, so that it is easily legible there? I don't know anything about SVG image editing.

[[Image:Intifada deaths.svg|none|600px]]

Also, what freeware SVG image editor is the easiest to use? I am interested in simplicity more than I am interested in options.

I see these pages:

(unindent) I did not know this. I have been using the Firefox browser a long time, and it sees a larger version of the chart when the chart is clicked on the image description page. But in Internet Explorer, one gets a message asking whether to open or save the SVG file. If one does not have an SVG viewer (like the freeware image editor IrfanView) installed, then one will not see the larger version of the chart. So this makes changing the default size of this chart more important. The SVG chart needs to be larger, or I will have to put back the GIF version of the chart in the article, Second Intifada, so that when people click the chart in the article they see a more legible version. The Gif version is not as legible though at the 400-pixel-wide size of the image found in the article. Compare here:

[[Image:Intifada deaths.svg|thumb|none|400px]]
[[Image:Intifada deaths.gif|thumb|none|400px]]

Click the GIF image to see that it enlarges in any browser. --Timeshifter (talk) 07:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply


IMHO this diagram needs some additional work:

  • legend for brown color code missing
  • legend for violet color code missing
  • death number besides blue bullet to be removed

--Túrelio (talk) 07:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I used a primitive online editing program to create the chart. It is very quirky and did not allow me to do what I wanted. The chart could use a lot of work. I encourage others to create additional charts using better tools. Please upload those charts separately with different names. I want to keep working on this chart myself. I could use help though in getting it to a larger default size. --Timeshifter (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Additionally the weblink in the bottom should be removed. If that is the source for the info then that should be mantioned on the image page but not in the image itself. Anyhow I'll give it a try to have 600px as the standard viewing size (IE and FF). /Lokal_Profil 15:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Image:Intifada deaths2.svg
OK Image:Intifada deaths2.svg should do it. Also removed the url and the number 44 from the blue bullet point. Text is still needed for the last bullet points though. /Lokal_Profil 15:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! The chart is used outside Wikipedia, too. So the URL is needed. I will need to learn an SVG program. There are so many things wrong with my original chart due to the quirkiness of the online editing program I used. I have a request. Could you put "Killed by Israeli civilians" at the bottom right of the chart in the same format as the other column labels? I was unable to do it myself because the online program messed up other stuff when I tried that. Then you can remove the label text altogether from the blue label on the right side. Then I will upload your version of the chart (with or without the URL) in place of my original version. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Added the lable at the bottom of the blue bar but left the legend since all the other colours had them. Although I can see a need for the url when the chart is used outside wikipedia I'd leave it of the one used here, since we have specific image pages all that's needed is to put that info there instead. The only thing that's missing is some sort of legend for the brown and violet colours. Couldn't come up with a good formulation myself but if you have any suggestions I'll be happy to add them. /Lokal_Profil 03:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks again. How about "Israeli breakdown" and "Palestinian breakdown"? Also, do you happen to know what font the Wikipedia CSS style sheets are using for the SVG text in the chart? It looks good. It might be good to add that font name directly into the SVG code so that the SVG chart looks good outside Wikipedia, too. The SVG chart has a thin ugly font outside Wikipedia when I download the current SVG file and look at in my image editor, IrfanView.
Thought of something else. It might be good to label the totals too on the side: "Israeli total" and "Palestinian total." --Timeshifter (talk) 07:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Added the last labels. The whole font issue is tricky since mediawiki has a notoriously bad track record when it comes to fonts. Removing the comic sans tag is however never wrong since it is a silly font to start with =). Anyhow hope the final version is ok. /Lokal_Profil 14:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
It seems that I am having the same problem as before with the online chart creator. One thing gets fixed but then another problem shows up. When I removed the font name from the SVG code text I see that a serif font was then used by MediaWiki. A sans-serif font was being used by MediaWiki before. The serif font makes the chart almost unreadable at the size it is used in the wikipedia article (400 pixels wide).

(unindent) I uploaded a clearer version of the chart. A different sans-serif font is used this time (not comic sans). It has one less column, and no longer has a legend (now unnecessary). I also removed "Deaths" on the left side. I returned the source URL. It is important and takes little space. I will keep experimenting (see farther down) and uploading new versions. Feel free to do the same. I like this temp page for experimentation. It is the only way to see what MediaWiki will do with the SVG file. I still need to figure out how to make the default size of the chart larger on the commons image description page.--Timeshifter (talk) 06:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I downloaded and installed Inkscape and tried to figure out how to make charts a little bit. It looks way too difficult at first glance. So I looked at Google spreadsheets, and this is how far I have gotten:

It can export the chart in PDF, HTML, CSV, Excel, .ods (OpenDocument Spreadsheet format used by Open Office), and text. I think I might try Open Office next. I believe it edits charts and can save them in SVG. --Timeshifter (talk) 06:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Timeshifter, Do NOT delete people's posts. My deleted post was as follows(so all the people can see what you're trying to cover up):
Why are you incapable of using the set request format presented at the top of this page? The graphic lab is doing you a favor, so you should give us the courtesy and not mess up our system.

I had responded to you concerning all of this on the talk page: Wikipedia_talk:Graphic Lab/Images to improve#Format Anomalies, and I had implemented your request. So I removed your now-offtopic comment, since it was a duplication of the talk page, and I did not want to have to duplicate my reply here. So it was not a cover-up.

(unindent) The first SVG image, Image:Intifada deaths.svg, is not currently showing up. I put in a request for help at:

The only problem with your update is that it once again made the image to small to read for IE users. I thought that was the main problem we tried to fix. Regarding the URL. I repeat that it should be in the image page and not in the actual image, if you want to use the image with the url outside wikipedia then you can add it to that version. Also lastly I think that the image was probably clearer when there were legends but that's a minor problem which can be fixed in the image caption. /Lokal_Profil 14:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Fixed image size and URL, also cleaned up the code and uploaded to Image:Intifada deaths.svg. /Lokal_Profil 15:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! We might agree to disagree on the URL. Sources are commonly added to charts and graphs. I think the chart and the chart text is clearer at 400 pixels wide when the legend is removed. Can you tell me what to do in Inkscape to increase the default size of an SVG chart? I have been experimenting with another program, OpenOffice.org Calc, to try to create this chart better. I am having some luck with it. But it will take more time. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:19, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Actually, it does look nicer without the legends. I've added the legend info to he image page instead, that way it can be put into the image description if desired. Hte default size problem is due to the "viewbox" parameter that had been added to the image. However if you just remove the viewbox parameter then you suddenly see all of the white space surrounding the image. The way I solved it was to reove the viewbox parameter then copy paste the whole image into a new image where the "page size" was the same as the image size. Then save it as "plain svg". This also had the added benefit of removing random junk code in the original version. If you find a good program for making charts in svg then please give me a shout since apart from doing it by hand in Inkscape (tedious) I haven't found any and there are a lot of charts/diagrams in commons:Category:Images that should use vector graphics with subcategories. /Lokal_Profil 15:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the Inkscape how-to. OpenOffice.org Calc and OpenOffice.org Draw seem to be working for me so far. I have a chart built with them based on a spreadsheet using the stats in the chart here. It needs more work. OpenOffice.org can save in many formats, such as an .odg file. I have been looking for converters to SVG. Here are some links so far:

I am also checking out Swivel.com. Here is what I have so far:
http://www.swivel.com/data_sets/show/1015629
I don't know how to convert the data set to a bar chart there yet.
I added the legend to the image caption at Second Intifada#Combatant versus noncombatant deaths. See this version:

Request: Please try and make the text more visible, if possible remove the shadowing too (not that necessary as the text though). I have already asked Fir0002 for some help, but he hadn't that much time, and was only able to do minor improvements to the image, so he directed me here.

It looks great! I would have one last request, but do it only if it can be done fast - the image is very good as it is.

Ok I tried it quickly. When I put it to the colour you asked it blends with the background too much and thus becomes illegible again. XcepticZP (talk) 15:26, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Chess pieces

Latest comment: 17 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Article(s): Sicilian Defence, amongst probably a lot others.

Request:I came stumbled across this chess article Sicilian Defence. I noticed that most of the chess pieces aren't SVG. I know this is going to be a big task replacing all of these, so that is why I (a Wiki Graphist myself) am posing this here. I was wondering if anyone else wants to help me with the conversion and replacement of these chess pieces. Hopefully we can actually fix up the {{Chess diagram}} template to use these SVG images too. -- TIM KLOSKE|TALK 22:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Graphist opinion: Once we have a basic set of pawn/rook/knight/bishop/king/queen for one side, on one background color, it should be fairly easy to derive the other player and background. Do we want to use transparency? What should the base size be? How are they to be organized, named, and categorized? This one is going to require some planning to pull off nicely, so hold your horse(men) while I contact m:WikiProject Chess and see how this fits in with with their standardization plans already in progress. EDIT: It would seem that someone has already done the work for us: m:Talk:WikiProject Chess. It is now just a matter of implementation.
