NI maps

Hello Samillar94,

I apologise for not realising that the maps were different, that compromise suits me perfectly as I do value consistency between maps.

HOC plan

Hi Sam. My apologies for not understanding how things work today. One comment on your current version: my eyes cannot see the difference between PC and SF colours. Did you use the template meta colours? DBD 21:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Also, what is this "innovative coding" by Alkari; how can I access this to help update the original file? DBD 09:39, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Maybe we should just wait a week! DBD 17:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi DBD - thanks for your messages. I do wish I'd talked to you first as I don't want to discourage other users from getting involved. Good spot on the Sinn Féin colour - I thought I'd changed it but hadn't! And I know what you mean about waiting - it's a very fluid situation! I reckon we should update it at least daily though.

Alkari's code design compresses the file by defining a seat dot, defining a whole column of dots, and then invoking them at an orderly series of positions. They are divided into groups with the appropriate colour. This uses much less code than the Parliament diagram tool. If you open Monday's SVG in Notepad you'll see it (it won't preserve line braks when I copy it here).

To move a person from Lab to Ind, move the positions of the party divisions (or move dots between adjacent groups). And what I'm about to do is go remove three blue dots from x="320" in the Conservatives, add 3 in x="330" in the Vacancies, and then shift all the group divisions between that and IndGrp down three (and IndGrp up one for Joan).

This should definitely have been documented on the talk page, which I'll also do now - so please don't apologise! Cheers – sam (talk) 18:26, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Sam. DBD 12:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

I've made my first attempt, in all humility; you'll see my thinking in the edit summary. What do you think? DBD 20:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

It's a damned thing four small groups are in such a narrow band of colour! Putting Sinn Fein below Vacant helps and also highlights their absence. I feel it's a shame to depart from putting them in order of size - maybe we could live with having Plaid and Green adjacent? I'll update for Williamson now and put the Independents at 10 between IG and Plaid, similarly to how the Commons website puts all 20 independents/tiggers between SNP and Lib Dems - see what you think! – sam (talk) 18:36, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

HoC party composition diagram

Hi sam,

I was just writing to let you know I think your diagram of the HoC has one incorrectly coloured dot. The current diagram shows 247 for Labour and 34 for the SNP, instead of 246 and 35 as described in the legend and HoC article. I had corrected this in the previous file edit on 4 April, but I assume you're working off of a locally saved copy that hasn't incorporated that. From what I can tell this discrepancy was introduced between the 18 Feb and 20 February revisions. Let me know if I'm misinterpreting the graph, though.

Hope this helps -- Jreans (talk) 06:48, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Oh, horror!! Good spot - on the 20th, I missed the final code shift needed when moving Joan Ryan to the Tiggers. Sorry I missed your edit from the 4th - I was uploading via mobile for the first time. sam FLYING CHRYSALIS ^💬 13:01, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre Did my best :D the page is a former redirect and when I was reworking it the "simple geometry" license wasn't given as an option. Found it now. FLYING CHRYSALIS ^💬 13:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
