[edit] Image cleanup tag for Athens vt highlight.png

You added an image cleanup tag for Athens vt highlight.png. Could you please add an explanation of the cleanup needed on Image talk:Athens vt highlight.png.

Thanks!

[edit] Wikipedia_talk:Graphic_Lab#Merge_with_Wikipedia:Requested_pictures

I encourage you to do what you want. But I think you should keep the goods points of the Graphic lab :

• Attractive and friendly Open Workshop
• For visitors and lambda users (no to move un sub-namespace)

Good luck to you Yug (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Derivative work SVG's

Regarding this edit, could you answer a question at Category talk:Images which should be in SVG format? Thanks. --Interiot 01:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:CAFEStandard.png

I can't see the advantage of Image:CAFEStandard.png being an SVG. Please, enlighten me. Pdbailey 04:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I read the Wikipedia:Collaboration to convert graphs to SVG and I just didn't think it applied to this graph b/c the file size is small (22k), and the image size is large. Why would someone want to zoom into it? If they did, would the be disappointed to see that it was a vector drawing? Also, I made it using an open source software package available at www.r-project.org and posted the data and code used to generate the graph (and added a GPL license to the code).

Never the less, SVG appears to be the preferred, i.e. see hormesis where the figure on the top right was made into an SVG for no apparent reason, but is preferred. In that sense, so long as SVG isn't a fad, this is preferable. Do you know how the font was reproduced and all the lines? i.e. is it possible for the axies to be as nice? Is it possible to have the data itself appear in the SVG, or would it need to be transformed before inclusion? Pdbailey 14:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for explaining all that to me and finding that great example. SVG is interesting because, as in the image you sent me, the data and its code are one thing, this simplifies maintenance because the code is compiled client side, saving compilation on the users computer. But I'm also unclear, you seem to be saying that what is preferred is not just an SVG (i.e. the ones that R will soon be able to generate) but one that can be maintained by hand. In my mind this is a blessing and a curse. It's all cute, but following the translations is unnecessarily complex and the result is far more code, making it harder to write and interpret. i.e. if the R code is 1/4 as long and makes the SVG, why prefer the SVG? Also, I can't actually see the images any larger in Firefox! what is the use of the vector graphic?

Again, thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff to me and being patent with all my questions. Pdbailey 03:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mathfont

Mithrandir - You know, I don't really know what font I use. My workflow is Latex -> dvi -> sketch -> svg. I do these conversions on a debian machine. I used the system suggested here. Sorry I can't be of more help. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 01:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

FWIW, LaTeX's default font is Computer Modern. Pete.Hurd 00:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SVG templates

While you are busy classifying instances of {{SVG}}, could you please replace them with {{ShouldBeSVG}} to which it redirects: it does actually make a difference and in any case is a rather more descriptive name. TIA HAND —Phil | Talk 14:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. I knew they were redirects, but it didn't occur to me that it would help to change them. Thanks for the tip! MithrandirMageT 01:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrew braille

Had created the images because I did know about the non-Latin letters already existing. Thanks for fixing it. (I was aware of what it was but didn't know the pictures existed for it)Epson291 11:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a circuit

The image Image:2dof sketch.png is not an electrical circuit as you tagged for SVG conversion, it is instead a mass-spring-damper diagram. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 04:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
