With pleasure I've just noticed that you've "converted" Image:A Yin-Yang-Yuan Symbol - Triality-One.png to Image:A Yin-Yang-Yuan Symbol - Triality-One.svg, which I intended to do myself occasionally. Considering how difficult my first experience doing that with Image:A TransGender-Symbol Plain3.png to Image:A TransGender-Symbol Plain3.svg (because of “center-circle” transparency) was, I'm very curious about how you do such “conversions”. Did you do it manually (with Inkscape) or use some kind of software-tool? -- ParaDox 01:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do everything in Inkscape, usually manually. With that one, it was tough to get the three pieces to fit together well. I started with a circle, converted it to a path, and added the tail; then I cloned it to make three of them, rotated them into place, fidgeted with the path until it looked right, and finally delinked the clones to change their colors. You really just need to spend enough time with Inkscape to get used to manipulating paths; it's a pretty awesome tool. ~ Booya Bazooka 16:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thnx very much for your detailed answer :-)  Because of too many minor deviations from my original “Image:A Yin-Yang-Yuan Symbol - Triality-One.png”, I've created and just uploaded my own SVG-version. -- ParaDox 18:01, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand... what is different about the version that you uploaded? ~ Booya Bazooka 18:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mainly the border width and the diameter of 3 small circles. That might seem trivial to you, but then you didn't design the symbol. -- ParaDox 18:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made a derivative http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Yin-Yang-Yuan_Symbol.svg that changes just the colors--Esteban.barahona (talk) 23:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
