Request: Please recreate in SVG the seals of the Government of Michigan. They are all a slightly-altered version of the Seal of Michigan, and can be seen on the following websites: The Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney-General, and the Treasury.

Thanks Fry1989 (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):  Request taken by ZooFari Done, except Governor. Wouldn't that be just the coat of arms, uploaded here? Or does it need to be the same color scheme as it is on that website? --ZooFari 02:20, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Damn, they redesigned the website. When I made the request it had a seal in the upper-left corner that looked just like the Sec's, but with "GOVERNOR" in the bottom. Would you be willing to still make it? Fry1989 (talk) 17:07, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Are you looking for this? It's somewhat funny though, the governor walks in on his first day in office, and his first order is: "I want a black header with a big seal in dark gray." hmmm. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 19:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes Sir, that's the one! Thanks for finding the page. That is rather funny :D Fry1989 (talk) 21:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Have a look above. Is that ok? --ZooFari 23:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Well, that page doesn't work properly for me anymore, but I think it was the same design as the other executive seals, but I can fix that. Thanks Zoo :) Fry1989 (talk) 02:08, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

It was actually black border with a white ring inside. The only difference in my version to the one in the web page was the font, which I don't know. But up to you of course :) --ZooFari 02:12, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Interesting. I'll try and find more images of it, but sadly it's not on the new Governor's webpage. I'm glad I saw it before they redesigned the page so I knew it even existed, since I haven't found any other images of it so far. You'd think there'd be an image of it on the front of a lectern when the Governor is giving a speech, like with the Presidential seal, or the Governor's seal of California, but so far I've not seen that with Michigan's. Thanks again mate :) (marking as RESOLVED! whoo!) Fry1989 (talk) 02:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Here a version in svg and fixed the mistake, but whats the unit of the figures on the chart?

 Comment Just some advice, you might want to remove the labels and use the following in the file page:

{{Legend|#cccccc|label}} {{Legend|#ffbc66|label2}}

Which will render:

 

label

 

label2

This works better especially for translation. ZooFari 22:50, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explenation of the legend. i changed it in that way, though it would be beter if the legend is at the right side of the immage. Also i woud like to have the colorspots smaller, but i can't seem to get it right.

I think both the size and position of the legend is fixed by the underlying template. Jon C (talk) 06:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I had a go at this myself all was going (reasonably) well until the "chequy" part. I was able to "cheq" but all over the alpha region.... I am not yet proficient in this stuff. The chequy could be a little better anyway. Rich Farmbrough, 12:15 5 January 2011 (GMT).

Graphist opinion(s): I don't quite understand what it is that you're trying to do - are you vectorizing an existing image? If so, do you have a link to the source? Jon C (talk) 16:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I think he just wants the checkerboard pattern at right to be confined within a symmetrical shield shape, so that the image can actually be used on an article, and doesn't care too much how that's done (PNG or SVG all fine). AnonMoos (talk) 18:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Anyway, I thought of a quick-and-dirty way to symmetrize the transparent areas in Photoshop (without creating an alpha-channel gradient, which I don't know how to do...). -- AnonMoos (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, many thanks. Rich Farmbrough, 00:55 1 February 2011 (GMT).

I made that from another shield and a cut-and pasted (and re-coloured) lion and a bunch of squares. Rich Farmbrough, 00:58 1 February 2011 (GMT).

By the way, a reference image can be found here (scroll to the bottom of the page). Of course, each depiction is correct, but I was wondering how one can fill the empty space below the lions. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 13:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

  Colour cleaned and straightened

Request: Rotate and Crop, smooth color variations which hint at text on the previous page (esp. behind "Balance in Favour of England) and scanning artifacts (discoloration in corner) MarsInSVG (talk) 18:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Colour is an easy fix, see above, although it looses much of the feel of the original document in my opinion. Rotation is more of a problem, since the image is actually distorted (assuming all the lines were parallel and perpendicular to start with) - you can rotate so that a given line is vertical or horizontal, but the others will be off. There is a tool called "Hugin" or "Huggin" which can resolve these types of issues. Rich Farmbrough, 04:08 12 January 2011 (GMT).

Ok I rotated the three elements independently, and then skewed the graph until the right side is vertical. I resisted the temptation to centre the top caption. Rich Farmbrough, 15:25 12 January 2011 (GMT).

  Original SVG, badly renderedNow fixed

Request: I’ve uploaded an image to commons since ages. (I know why I don’t do that too often.) Everything looked finde on my computer in InkScape and Firefox, but after uploaded to Commons the text in it suddenly looks very strange. Help! Alex (talk) 19:51, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Easiest would just be to "Convert text to paths" inside InkScape. Another problem is that it should presumably be white inside the shield (not transparent). AnonMoos (talk) 20:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

*puzzled* Help:SVG says “please do consider […] not converting fonts to path [as this] will increase file dimension”. And it feels like that I’ve rather stumbled accross some subtle mistake than taking the sledgehammer. Anyway: thanks for the hint with the transparent background. --Alex (talk) 22:35, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

It's not the most elegant solution, but sometimes it's a quick shortcut through RSVG font rendering hell and/or Inkscape peculiarities. The text in that image doesn't need to be translated into different languages, which is the main advantage to text as text in SVG. AnonMoos (talk) 01:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree that the text should be converted to path Richardprins (talk) 21:56, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Using just one x-coordinate for the text fixed the problem. Thanks anyway. --Alex (talk) 13:58, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately the text I see in inkscape is resized once it is png format on wikicommons, as you can see above. Looking at the SVG in chrome 12.0.742.112 renders the text correctly .

I think I might know what is going wrong. I have it under the "Sans" font in Inkscape, which apparently defaults to Arial in Windows, the font that wikipedia replaces it with is slightly larger, hence the misalignment. Is the only way to fix this to go through each image individually and change the font to dejavu sans? Surely I can't be the only experiencing this issue?Pluke (talk) 22:08, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I'll get to fixing the other images Pluke (talk) 10:19, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

First, I would set the symbol $\oplus$ to a unit (because it can always shift when scaled). Then, I would try specific Arial as font (it is being converted to a similar Font). If you don't know, read for more information Help:SVG (there should be linked everything more specific). If you then still have questions, go ahead. PS: You can group fonts: “It is always recommended that such generic fonts (Sans) as a last indication of a value assignment”. -- Perhelion 23:41, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

EXCELLENT! Utah's I would assume is exactly the same as the State Seal colour-wise, it looks like it's just a graphic, similar to what they've done to the Michigan coat of arms on that state's Governor's website. Texas, I'm not so sure, I can't find any other pics of the Governor's seal for that one. I'd go with the same colouring as the State seal as well though, but of course, you're the artist :) I think Connecticut's will be the most difficult one though, with it's escalloped outer ring and such, so I'm really grateful for you're taking this.

Hello NikNaks93! Regarding the fonts, the one on Texas seal is "Quant Antiqua Bold", although it looks like the "Regular" is used on the governor's seal. For Connecticut I think it's "Century", looks like a "semibold" or "extended" variation. For Utah it looks like "Bookman Old Style", albeit condensed, and you'll find a much clearer image of the seal on page 1 of this file. Finally Alabama looks like "Times new Roman". Hope that helps. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 13:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Just a note for Utah's btw. I noticed in the PDF that Orionist provided, it has some roman numerals at the bottom instead of the 1896 on the State Seal. If my suspicions are correct, those roman numerals represent the Governor himself, and changes with every governor, as the roman numerals on the California Governor's seal does. THerefore, we have 3 options. Include the numerals, and change them when the next Governor comes in, leave it blank, or put in the 1896 from the State seal. Since you're the artist, I'll leave that to you however. Fry1989 (talk)

I think the easiest way would be (for somebody talented for it) to redraw the letters according the image (the difference between such a result and the outcome of the tracing would be similar but the redrawn one would look better). --Petrus Adamus (talk) 19:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Requests:

• Replace the flag and the coat of arms with the official models found in the following PDF: Law on the flag and coat of arms of San Marino. Make sure the new SVGs use the officialy prescribed CMYK/Pantone colors and the coat of arms has the right proportions on the flag (page 3).
• Replace the blue color in the supposed civil flag, and also create the supposed merchant flag, according to this model: [3]  Done
• All the flags above should have a proportion of 3:4. The law also gives proportions for a 2:3 state flag (page 3): The official flag can have the proportion 2:3 for international use and/or when specified. At this proportion, the arms will occupy the central third of the flag's length (arms' width equals 1/3 of the flag's width) and the line that passes through the center of the cross on the top of the crown will be at 1/6 of the flag's height below the upper edge.

Hettenrodt's coat of arms

Resolved

Squares' tinctures are no longer transposed.

Request: I'd do a simple thing like this by myself, but I haven't the means to deal with svg files. The problem with this coat of arms is simply that the "chequy" field on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side has its tinctures transposed; the red squares should be silver and the silver ones red. It seems to be usual in German heraldry to render a chequy field thus, with the colour first, whereas, I realize, in English heraldry, the opposite rule, with the metal first, is observed. Can somebody please make this slight but important change? The proper form of this coat of arms can be seen here and here (two versions, both from official sources). Thanks. Kelisi (talk) 05:52, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Although the request is easy, this file is one of the weirdest SVG files I've ever seen. It looks like it's been, at some point in its life, a PNG file then run through some sort of converter. This accounts for its filesize. For anyone who wants to diddle with this image just check out the stroke around the tree/leaves. Each red square has around 30+ points defining it. On top of all that it's not even correctly defined as an SVG. Just plain weird. IMHO this should be done from scratch. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 07:17, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Convert the texts to paths in inkscape using "Convert object to path" (shift + ctrl + C). Then combine them to reduce the size of the svg (ctrl + K). That way your text is a path, independant of the viewer and its installed fonts.

The best practice is also to keep the original text object in the image. Place it outside of the border of the image for instance.

All done. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

While I thank you, I must ask you put in the coat of arms with the colours I uploaded on 14:40, October 9, 2011 (the most recent version). The South African Corporate Identity Guide has set out very strict and specific guidelines on the exact colours of every single element of the coat of arms (and according to the PDF, the Presidential Seal is supposed to match). Could you also re-do the seal itself, so it's actually a circle rather than an oval, and redo the inscription to fit? I was also hoping you would upload it over the B&W version, as it's defective anyways. Fry1989 ^eh? 00:08, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The colours I used were sampled directly from the official PNG you linked to above, though I didn't re-colour the existing svg. I didn't notice it was an oval, I just used the outer from the black and white version and recoloured it according to the official colours. One thing I did notice was that the official version uses bold type, whereas the b/w version has regular type - which is outlined so am not totally sure which font was used. It's late so I'll have a look at it tomorrow. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 01:13, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the coat of arms in the seal must to match the latest version of the Coat of arms as I have uploaded. http://www.gcis.gov.za/services/govt/corpid.pdf is very precise about the 11 separate colours to be used on Page 4, and it states that all representations must follow it. I can not explain why the source I listed on the presidential seal shows it different, I can only assume these two PDFs were produced at different dates, and that is why they contradict each other. I really am greatful for your taking this request, please finish whenever you have spare time, I don't mean to rush you. Fry1989 ^eh? 01:30, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The most likely reason for the different colours is dodgy colour space conversion. All the colours given in the PDF are either CMYK or Pantone. The PNG file is in sRGB, so there's a possibility the conversion wasn't done correctly. The next question that arises though is what colour space I should use for the SVG? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 01:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, what do you mean by "colour space"? Fry1989 ^eh? 02:21, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

If you mean the colour for the ring and wording of the seal, I would personally use the same green as used in the Coat of arms. Fry1989 ^eh? 16:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

No sorry I meant the colour space as in RGB or CMYK or any of the variants. Given that all the colours in the PDF relate to the CMYK colour space there's going to be slight colour changes if they need to be converted to RGB. A quick and dirty explanation is that anything that is computer-based output or input e.g. monitors, scanners, cameras is RGB, anything that is printed uses the CMYK colour space. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 16:32, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh I see. I thought I avoided that issue by taking the PDF palette and directly pasting it into my Inkscape, and copying the colours. As far as I can tell, they're the same as the PDF prescribes. Fry1989 ^eh? 16:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

All done, I created a custom palette in Illustrator with the official numbers. I made it truly circular and re-did the curved text with the official Gill Sans text. I hope that does the job? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 16:15, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes they are vectors not raster. I'm not sure what you mean bezier curves vs paths. They are basically the same thing, a bezier curve is a path that curves. If you mean are they curves without multiple points (vertices) then no, each line is made up from multiple points rather than the minimum necessary. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:53, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The true shape of the fieldlines always has to be approximated in a vector image. One option is a linear approximation by straight segments, another is a cubic approximation by Bezier curves. The Bezier approximation is more efficient when it comes to very high precision. However, when the required precision is only some fraction of a pixel, the linear approximation is efficient enough. But it is much simpler and straightforward. This is why I deliberately chose it over Bezier curves here. With a decent renderer, the image will be flawless. --Geek3 (talk) 15:04, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't know how you do it on Inkscape, but all I do in Illustrator is select the relevant bits, or do a control-A, then use the black arrow selection tool to grab one of the corner selection handles, hold down alt and shift (shift to maintain proportion, alt to expand/contract from the centre) then drag in whichever direction I want. You just have to find the correct modifier key in Inkscape. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done: It's fairly simple with the proper tool (which is not Inkscape!). AnonMoos (talk) 06:05, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

And that tool is? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I used PostScript, as indicated on the file description page File:Cross graph 10b.svg itself. I first wrote the 340-byte program given there (%!
306 396 translate/A{18 mul dup cos 280 mul exch sin 280 mul}def gsave 20{1 1 9{A moveto 0 A lineto stroke}for 0 0 moveto 0 A lineto stroke 18 rotate}repeat grestore 0 1 19{A 7 0 360 arc closepath gsave 1 0 0 setrgbcolor fill grestore stroke}for 0 0 7 0 360 arc closepath gsave 1 .5 0 setrgbcolor fill grestore stroke showpage %EOF which you can view in a suitable interpreter such as Ghostscript), then I used various personal ad-hoc methods (which I can relate in boring detail if you really want) to convert the vector PostScript to vector SVG. I used PostScript because I've been working with it since the early 1990's, and I'm comfortable using it, but other people might use various mathematical or function-plotting type languages to do the same thing. Somehow I seem to be responsible for the great majority of images in Category:Generated by PostScript (though not for those in the subcategories of that category). AnonMoos (talk) 13:42, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

P.S. A tool I sometimes use to clean up and simplify vector outlines is Fontforge (I guess technically not a PostScript tool, though closely-related). My SVG working methods are eccentric in comparison to most people's, since I use Inkscape to test and convert SVG files, but almost never to edit SVG files... AnonMoos (talk) 14:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

That's all a bit beyond me, I'm a designer, not a mathematician/programmer (although I do a mean PHP :) ). When you said tool I was hoping for something with a gui like Mathematica, only simpler. Ah well, back to Illustrator for me, though I do think I have FontForge somewhere. I usually use Fontographer though if, on the odd occasion, I have to create a custom font. Thanks for the info though. It won't go to waste. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 15:33, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

  second line from bottom (++ is wrong → + should be between the letters

Request: The + is at the wrong position. Firefox and inkscape renders it correctly.

I could find a trink how to fix it with inkscape.

Apparently a problem of the svg renderer (svg→png) which didn't exist with a older renderer version since it first occured only at some thumbnail sizes of File:K-map_6,8,9,10,11,12,13,14.svg. Then I did a purge and then it was at all thumbnail sizes.

Probably this problem exists with all other maps with + between letters at en:Karnaugh map. Thank you! --Saibo (Δ) 02:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

The "+"s should be dividing the color coded letter sections. It is a sum of products expression, and I have personally verified the answer is correct once the "+"s are placed in the correct position between the color coded letters/apostrophes. The Product of Sums expressions (e.g. "(A+B)(A+C')(B'+C'+D')") appear fine as far as formatting is concerned. I have not verified their logical correctness. Kaell (talk) 02:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Saibo -- this problem usually occurs when there are different levels of inclusion within <tspan>...</tspan>. For example, in <text><tspan>AAA</tspan>BBB<tspan>CCC</tspan></text>, "AAA" and "CCC" are in a tspan element, but "BBB" isn't. AnonMoos (talk) 15:14, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes there were, but I figured out how to do them ;) However, I can't do the different ratio (1:2) with this one. Thanks Fry1989 ^eh? 20:52, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Btw, the source shows it using the Type A roundel, as on File:Ensign of the Royal Air Force.svg rather than the Type D roundel in the South African roundels category, so you might want to just recolour the one from the UK ensign. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:55, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Looks like I won't have to do it at all now :) and btw ratios are easy. Just find a nice and easy to divide number for the width of the flag, then increase/decrease using the ratio as a divisor. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:38, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, that went completely over my head. How do I do that?? Fry1989 ^eh? 21:06, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Say for example a flag has a ratio of 3:2. Just choose the width to be easily divisible by 3, e.g. 600. That means each 3 'unit' is 200. So the right hand number of the ratio is 2. So multiply the 'unit' (200) you created earlier by 2. Ergo the dimensions of the flag should be 600 x 400. I'm not much of a teacher and/or explainer but I hope you got the gist of it. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

  Example of hypotrochoid

Request: I'd like to feature this animated GIF at the WP Mathematics Portal (specifically, at w:Portal:Mathematics/Featured picture/2012 01), but the image will be scaled down slightly (not as much as shown here, of course) when displayed on the Portal page. Unfortunately, large images like this don't animate when they're reduced in size, so only the first frame of the animation will be displayed. As you can see above, the first frame shows only two circles with no hypotrochoid; I need it to show the completed curve, which is seen in the last few frames (see the File page for the animated version). In other words, I need the last 1 or 2 frames of the animation moved to the beginning of the sequence. This should be trivial to do with the right software. - dcljr (talk) 18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah, but the Governor and Secretary both use the greater coat of arms ;) Fry1989 ^eh? 06:02, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I was able to put in the greater arms. The trick was that they had weird strokes on them, so if you shrank the arms to fit the seal, they would get gummed up, so I had to enlarge the seal to fit the arms. I hope you're not terribly offended if I remove the tongues, they're usually just fanciness added to the impression paper, rarely part of the seal design itself. Thank you again, I know it looks like I'm good at inkscape, but there's still alot that's beyond me, so making these fully by myself is still a bit beyond my abilities, so I truly am greatful for your assistance.

Graphist opinion(s):  Request taken by NikNaks93

Thanks Fred, yeah idk what was wrong with the CoA, except that if you shrink it, it gets messed up, so I had to enlarge the seal to fit th earms. If you and Connormah would like to continue, I'd be very greatful. I can do alot of things, but font and some other issues are still a bit past me. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:28, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I didn't have that problem, but I think what is happening for you is that you haven't set inkscape to scale strokes and fills (and maybe patterns too) when you do a transform. But no, those aren't the problems I was referring too. The original author only used basic vector techniques in the artwork and bodged them to make them look right. For example the transparent strip between the horses' manes and the body, wasn't actually transparent originally, it was a strip of white overlaying the mane. I had problems using that strip to 'cut through' to the background transparency. In doing so I had to get a load of other elements onto different layers. That led to other problems such as the belt buckle on the top of the rope not being a compound shape, but was a black rectangle with the centre not being transparent but simply another whit rectangle on top. This then led to the ropes not being a custom brush stroke following a path. The stroke, the fill and all the little black lines were all separate elements instead of all being part of the same element. What should have been a 5-minute job became a 30-minute job. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. The arms to have alot of choppy parts, the eagle most noticeably. It'd be awesome if we could get them completelyu re-done, but that's a tall order.

Fundamentally yes but there is just one tiny problem.-

The south pole of the permanent magnet(red one)-the near end of the inside curve(i have annotated the image(you need to click edit on the annotation to see it)-the ends aren't joined neatly.Please correct them. Also, if you have time please make the blue strips true spirals(and not as though they have been bent by hand).Gauravjuvekar (talk) 16:20, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Corrected misalignment of south pole, tidied up winding a bit, but you get what you pay for. That's virtually how the original looked. In any case I took an artistic decision that this particular galvanometer was hand made, and so was the winding! --Fred the Oyster (talk) 22:00, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Request: If possible, I would like to have a image made that is very similar to the above. This image is to be called "dipole in uniform H field". The modifications I would need is:

• remove the entire bottom part labeled (b) (The direction of tau is confusing.)
• remove the label "(a)" from top
• replace E with H, p with m, +Q with +q_m, -Q with -q_m, and 2a with d.

Losslessly cropping away outside the rectangular frame would be quite easy, but trying to undo the effects of the incompletely-opened book spine could be rather tricky... AnonMoos (talk) 15:19, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

If the spine issue cannot be resolved, then I guess a simple crop is fine. It's been brought to my attention that the image also appears at [5] (not possible to link to the page itself – the image is on Tafel 34 after p. 808) and at [6], but these images are not very clear.

Any better? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 16:54, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes! That's exactly what I had in mind. If it's not too much trouble you might just try if the clarity is better at small sizes if you make the hand a bit smaller and more central, so that the finger tips don't overlap the edge of the face. (However, it might well look weird, I'm not sure...) Thanks. Rd232 (talk) 17:07, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I tried it and it did look weird. At these sizes the smallest movement of a line has drastic effect even though I'm working in sub-pixel units. The more you move the fingers and decrease the size of the hand the more it becomes obvious that there isn't a face behind the hand, and strangely enough the complexity goes up. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 17:37, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

OK then. Happy to use the new file then. Thank you! Rd232 (talk) 17:53, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

 Done It is not commonshelper's fault - as long as you see the duplicate notice on the file page in the source wiki the file was transferred correctly. The error you notice is probably (guess based on past cases) due to a block by the svg parser here. It should have also happened like this if you had purged the file in the source wiki. This is because our new svg parser is more strict on some stuff (the thumbnails in the source wiki were old). --Saibo (Δ) 04:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

As you can see, the gradient of the SVG that MediaWiki has rendered (on the left here) is wildly different from how I created it in Inkscape (right). Any ideas? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 19:47, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Graphist Opinions:

The issue seems to be the gradient definitions in that SVG use non-standard tags "<a:midPointStop>", which should be from Adobe Illustrator. Can't help you any further than that right now, unfortunately (I have no vector graphics program installed). —Quibik (talk) 20:49, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that likely stems from me hijacking an existing gradient to make that. I'll try recreating one from scratch. Thanks! NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 21:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Just out of interest I took the svg, opened it in AI, saved it as an .ai file then saved it back as an svg, then removed anything Inkscape related using Notepad++. Now to me it looks the same in the renderer as it does in AI and when I open it locally in IE. Is this the effect you were after? Incidentally, "<a:midPointStop>" is no longer in the code. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, now looking back at the png above I see that everytime I've seen it, in the renderer, locally in IE and in Illustrator it's always looked like the version on the left. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Sussed it. The gradient is still there, but the centre of the dark 'strip' has moved across to the left, outside the viewbox. Well at least that's what is happening, as for why it's happening I have no clue, sorry. I'm not really au fait with the mathematical side of svg code. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 21:36, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks!  :) How did you solve it? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:55, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

When looking at the gradients in Illustrator I noticed that the centre point of the left-hand gradient was mapped to a point outside the left edge of the viewbox. All I did was just move them back to roughly where they should be. I haven't checked the file in Inkscape though, so I don't know how the image appears there. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 20:26, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Materialscientist (talk) 04:11, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):That has to be the weirdest svg code I've seen. Why, for example, are clipping paths being used for something as basic as this? Also, why are all the text formatting tags stuffed in the svg header tag? But the strangest thing, given how much font information is in that file, is why there is no plain text output? Another question related to that is point size. Why have point size to a precision of 15? What are you using to produce this rubbish code? Marvin? I do hope you haven't paid for it. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:16, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I have no relation to these images, and only wish to have them displayed. Redrawing is fine, if this is easier than fixing the code (yes, it is obviously Marvin with Batik, which is used by some uploaders and apparently becomes invisible due to the recent software update). The only requirement is to have the molecular structures as they are now, with line length/width appropriate for a general chemical formula - all other graphical details on point size precision, etc., are optional. Materialscientist (talk) 10:42, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind redoing them properly but I have no idea what they are supposed to look like, especially given that I'm not a chemist. Are these images supposed to have text in them, eg chemical names etc? I'm guessing so given all the font info in the files. So are there png equivalents that I can copy to svg and then overwrite the versions you already have? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:25, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Every image becomes visible upon clicking, and my firefox displays them well when saved locally. Overwriting is fine (I would redraw myself, but my svg skills are rudimentary, and I wasn't sure about code-fixing when posting this). They are for thumb use, and thus margins can be kept to minimum. Materialscientist (talk) 12:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes I can see shapes when I click on them/download them, but I'm not seeing any text. Is that correct? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 12:47, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I pulled them up in Inkscape, and ungrouped EVERYTHING pressing ctrl+shft+g and i draged over the image and out came a rectangle(a path actually) with white fill and white border(probably used as background). uploaded it again and the issues persist. Deleted all the text elements and problem still persists.Gauravjuvekar (talk) 15:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I went back to the original version and started from that, and now all sorted. There was a clipping mask preventing the renderer from rendering the shapes. There were also lots of redundant points/nodes which I can only assume used to be, at one point, text objects. Anyway, all four files now render correctly albeit with no text. Adding the text from these versions would now be simple for anyone, once we know what the correct text is of course. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks. While text might have been planned for some intermediate versions, the final ones do not require any text. Materialscientist (talk) 22:31, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
