File talk:Pine Ridge Flag.svg
I made the original image, and will redirect all links here. Go ahead and delete the original once that is done. Kwamikagami 20:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- What is the symbolism or meaning in the flag? The white shapes look a bit like pairs of hands or tipi's. Is that what they're intended to depict?
- Is there a construction sheet available for it?
- Do you know of any do's/don'ts for reproducing the flag?
- Does it matter if the white shapes are surrounded by straight polygonal lines vs circular arcs? There are lots of curves in the current SVG but the original PNG looks like it has more straight edges. The PNG is very pixelated so I might be imagining things, though.
- Are the 8 white figures surrounding the center intended to be exact duplicates of each other? I see some subtle variations in them and wonder if that was accidental or intentional.
- Similar to the previous question, are the 2 sides to the white figures supposed to exact reflections of each other?
If you want lots of symmetry and repetition, you might want this new version I made:
The hand-like figure is exactly reflected except for some possible floating point rounding error. The 8 shapes are drawn by reusing the original pair of hand-like shapes. This keeps the file small, SVG code clean, and more precisely duplicates the shapes. The only problem is it looks like Wikipedia's SVG rendering to PNG feature is buggy and not supporting the "use" tags properly. The PNG is showing only 1 pair of hands but if you click and see the SVG directly in the browser, it shows them all properly.
Here is another version that doesn't use the "use" SVG tag to work around Wikipedia's rasterization problem.
