Image scaling request...


Article(s): s:Index:UKSI19810859.pdf as images in Page: content.

Request
Please scale these more appropriately (can SVG do that internally?) with respect to other traffic signs images in the relevant Commons Category and those used in the linked article. Asking here as it's simple task that an experienced user can do rapidly...

Graphist opinion(s)
@ShakespeareFan00, can you be more specific about what’s wrong with the size or proportions? Is it just the nominal pixel dimensions? Yes, with SVGs scaling is usually very easy—it says so right on the tin! But one needs to know what one’s trying to achieve.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is indeed the nominal pixel dimensions, I had drawn these at actual size, whereas the ones from the Traffic Signs Database are based on how they were sized for print reproduction, which are considerably smaller. I was wanting someone to scale these to be more suited to display on screen and print compared to the existing traffic sign images Commons holds.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Was there any progress on this? Or can it be tagged as stale?ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done @ShakespeareFan00: The files specified large, fixed, sizes in millimeters via the width and height attributes. I removed those attributes from all the files, so SVG defaults the size to 100% of the container. I do not think any other changes are needed. Glrx (talk) 21:38, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

Flaspec The source you have provided is not good enough, it's impossible to create anything with quality from that. Would also need someone who can read and write the language (some version of Arabic) written on it and generally you would have to help with feedback and check on drafts. Fix those things and then you can ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Flaspec: The pattern is complex as hell, and we need surely a picture with an higher definition to create a vector version of it. I think I found an high-quality picture of the cetral part ([1]) is it the same flag? Or, you could buy the picture ([2]) and send it to us to trace it. Sette-quattro (talk) 13:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Flaspec: @Sette-quattro: from what I get there is a reproduction (click on the "El Salón del Trono" tab), more info here. Here is a version shared by the Twitter account of the municipal museum of Burgos. Veverve (talk) 22:11, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec The source from twitter that Veverve provided looks good and to me it seems as it is the right version. Several of the others are something else. However then we have the question about copyright. The twitter account comes from museum of Burgos what I can see. So before I would consider taking this huge task I would need you to get a written permission according to OTRS. Before you can provide that I will not put in the amount of work needed for this. There is an email adress to the right on that link. So ping me when you have the permission, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: @Flaspec: I will not be necessary. From what I got from here and here, and especially here, the image shared by the museum is a scan of a 19th-century engraving from the book series Historia general de España desde los tiempos primitivos hasta la muerte de Fernando VII by Modesto Lafuente. With a few hours of research and a bit of luck I found this engraving is in Part 2, Book 1, chapter 12 ("ALFONSO VIII Y ENRIQUE I EN CASTILLA - De 1212 á 1217"). The volume on which this part is will depend on the edition. You can find a good quality scanned version with the engraving here (from here) at PDF page 34. You can also find it here (worse quality). Veverve (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Veverve: for all your work and knowledge on this, and you saying it is from an engraving explains why it looks different in colors and lines. But I have two questions.
  1. Is this engraving the same as in all detail as you know?
  2. I don't speak Spanish but when I translate that page it says everything is under copyright. So then we are back to the same situation or what do you say?
@Goran tek-en: Thanks
  1. I have seen many versions of this flag online, I guess there is numerous reproductions since it is a famous flag. Looking at google image with "Banner of Las Navas" in Spanish gives numerous similar yet very different flag. I do not know if the engraving is the same as .
  2. It is a 19th-century engraving, so there is no way it is still under copyright. todocoleccion.net is like Invaluable.com or eBay, it will states "Copyright ©", but there is no way you can copyright something which has fell out of copyright, it is at best a en:Copyfraud. Scans or pictures of 2D objects which fell out of copyright cannot renew the copyright and fall under Template:PD-art and Template:PD-scan. Veverve (talk) 23:10, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again Veverve, it is so difficult with copyright on stuff like this, I don't have deep enough knowledge but when I check your sources I agree with you, so thanks. Will now try to get in contact Flaspec to be able to work on this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Veverve: @Goran tek-en: Thank you for your response. After searching the website provided by the uploader, I found a direct link with the description here [3]. --Flaspec (talk) 20:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Flaspec: I don't understand, that link doesn't provide any image I can work from. This source [4] page 34 is provided by Veverve, is that correct and can I work from that? --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Flaspec: What you proposed is the same low resolution image as in the beginning. Veverve (talk) 21:18, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: Yes the image provided by Veverve is correct and has higher resolution indeed. I am ready to assist you if you need any help with the text (old Arabic script). --Flaspec (talk) 21:30, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flaspec Great.  QuestionThe emblem you first showed is some kind of textil I guess, so it's not 90° in the corners, no straight lines etc. What I will create is an illustration of this emblem so I will work with 90° corners, straight lines etc. Is this fine with you? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: Thank you for taking this request. Indeed, I think 90° corners is the correct choise. --Flaspec (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec Now I need your feedback before I continue. The drafts are as png but the original I work on is svg.
This is the upper left piece just outside the "circle". Is this look and detail level what you want?
@Goran tek-en: Honestly it looks far better than I expected. --Flaspec (talk) 17:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: I like how you fixed the corners (at 90°) without altering the original design. Kudos to you! --Flaspec (talk) 17:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec Thanks for feedback. It might be a while before I'm back because there is a lot work to be done.
For the text there are two options but I think a mix will be the best.
  1. I can draw them but some texts are very small so it's hard.
  2. If you can write them here it would be great, mark which is which, if you know a font that works well at wikimedia for svg files and arabic, please tell me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: This is medieval script of Arabic (equivalent to Blackletter in Latin, for instance) so the first option is the best in order to preserve authenticity of the emblem (modern font wouldn't do). I noticed that existing flags/emblems belonging to the same era (like the emblem of the Emirate of Granada) also opt for the first option you mentioned. --Flaspec (talk) 19:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know, according to here, the engraving was made by Magín Pujadas, who has a WCommons category. Veverve (talk) 13:00, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flaspec I just wanted you to know I am working on it. It takes time so don't give up on me. If you think it takes too long, just ping me, thansk. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en This emblem needs love like everything does. I hope you enjoy working on it, and take your time! --Flaspec (talk) 18:34, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this file to your liking? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Donald Trung: I thank you for your concern, however your version has some problems. "A."; "C", "a" and d of "Card"; and each letter of "Ottaviani" look a bit off. I would prefer if a Wikigraphist could either revise the version you uploaded or make one from scratch. Veverve (talk) 20:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Veverve: , I understand. I looked at the options on the website and I have seen other options like this one which is more faithful, apparently it defaults to option #2 (number two) which distorts the image a bit. I would advise you to try to use the website to see if you can make a better version and then overwrite the above one. I will try to overwrite it using option #1 (number one) and see if you like it more. I am just experimenting here, so I hope that I'm not wasting your time. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excel .xlsx spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for .SVG graphics

Transcluded:
General concept above; examples below.
Warming stripes
(five examples compared)
Warming stripes bar chart
Bar chart (vertical)
Pie chart
Line charts
Scatterplot

I've uploaded .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.

You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheet instantly and automatically generates a column of XML code that you simply copy and paste into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, avoiding the "extra stuff" that Inkscape inserts. They should save you time in creating SVG charts.

Feedback and suggestions on my talk page are welcome. RCraig09 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Click HOW TO for detailed explanation.
Click HERE (else HERE) to download the spreadsheets.
  1. Warming stripes — Accepts a single dataset and converts to SVG code portraying Ed Hawkins' warming stripes graphics. User chooses vertical or horizontal stripes; normal or reverse data ordering; or from a variety of geometric shapes (updated 17 May 2023). . . . . Click here to see examples of warming stripes embedded in different shapes.
  2. Warming stripes bar chart — Accepts a single dataset and creates a conventional bar chart whose individual bars/columns are coloured according to Dr. Hawkins' warming stripes colour scheme. Alternate option: choose one colour for ascending bars and another colour for descending bars. (updated 28 August 2023)
  3. Line charts — Accepts up to six datasets. (updated 30 August 2023)
  4. Vertical bar charts (column charts) — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the Y level (usually=0) from which columns rise or fall; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
  5. Horizontal bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the value (usually=0) from which bars extend; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
  6. Scatter plots — Accepts up to five datasets. (updated 28 August 2023)
  7. Pie charts — Accepts a single dataset of up to 36 items. (updated 17 May 2023)

 Addendum, I also added the seal of the Bảo Đại Emperor when he was the Chief of State of Vietnam for conversion as it falls within a similar scope. For context the inscription reads "Quốc gia Việt-Nam - Đức Bảo Đại - Quốc-trưởng" (written in Latin script) and "國長保大" (written in seal script, Traditional Chinese characters for reference, but these scripts really shouldn't be grouped together as often as they are). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 11:33, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did not receive the notification. I will try to do that, but it can be easier for me if there are photos of documents in which this seal is used. Btw wasn't the octagonal version made during the French colonial era? Because most of the old seals I've seen are square.--Urara Haru 麗春 01:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Lệ Xuân: , yeah, that is why I didn't request it (the octagonal version). I made a mirrored version of it with this tool, though if you use a non-mobile device I am sure that you can use a built-in file editing tool (the ones for Google's Android suck). By the way, what tool do you use to create the SVG seals?

@Donald Trung: I use Adobe Illustrator to create SVG images, which is pretty easy to use once you know Photoshop. In my opinion, Illustrator is a lot easier than Inkscape. The only downside is that it's not free. --Urara Haru 麗春 14:34, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lệ Xuân: , linked above is a better image of the same inscription (though a different physical seal) found in this article (Mandarin-Chinese written in Traditional Chinese characters). I attempted to make the seal in Microsoft Paint on my wife's laptop using Microsoft Paint and Hanziyuan, but some of these characters are really unorthodox. So it might be best to extract the more unique characters from the image if possible.

Seal of French Indochina

Article(s): en:French Indochina, en:Emblem of Vietnam, Etc.

Request
From what I can find French Indochina had its own seal where the en:Great Seal of France, which consists of a seated version of Lady Liberty with fasces was adapted for en:French Cochinchina and en:French Indochina.

According to this Dutch website: "The symbols for agriculure, the arts and science were replaced by a sheaf of rice. On the right side the branches of oak were replaced by an anchor (as, initially, the colony was under the supervision of the Ministry of the Navy and the Colonies) and the cock on the rudder disappeared. Also, and of some symbolic importance, the urn symbolizing General Suffrage was omitted.".

Now this is also the version of the great seal that appeared on coins that circulated in French Indochina. I cannot find a version of this image on Wikimedia Commons, but as far as I can tell it was actually more commonly used than the emblem of the government-general. (copied from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1011003753...1011005816 after realising that this could be better requested here).

My request would be a recreation of the seal, I will try to find better contemporary examples of the seal if it's too difficult for an illustrator. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:45, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments

I updated the Wikipedia description to be:

The en:Great Seal of France with minor localisations. On the colonial seal a sheaf of rice replaces the traditional French symbols for agriculture (a sheaf of wheat), the arts (painter's tools), and science (burning lamp). On the right side of the seal the branches of oak were replaced by an anchor,(The anchor symbolises the tact that colony of French Cochinchina was initially under the supervision of the Ministry of the Navy and the Colonies.) and the removal of the Gallic cock on the rudder. Furthermore, and of symbolic importance, the urn symbolising universal suffrage on the French Great Seal was omitted from the colonial seal.
Influences:

Other illustrations of this seal could be found at "File:French Indo-Chinese (Protectorate of Annam) passport issued to a Chinese national (1925).jpg" and "File:1 Piastre de Commerce - French Indo-China (1922) Art-Hanoi 02.jpg". I have also found it a lot on French Indo-Chinese documents, but then it's too small to be useful. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The seal of French Indochina was File:Emblem of the Gouvernement général de l'Indochine.svg, similar to the other French colonies. The image here is just the French seal (or a variant of it).--Antemister (talk) 22:50, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Antemister: It is indeed a variant of the French Great Seal specifically made for French Cochin-China / French Indo-China, notice the deliberate inclusion of rice and the anchor while other symbols were excluded. The seal you mention was only used by the government-general, while this seal appears on multiple documents (both civil and military), it is used on coins, and appears on its passports. Last time I checked the latter is how modern national emblems are used. If it's a variant of the great French seal specifically made for Indo-China, then it's the Indo-Chinese seal. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 23:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Antemister: , I took the "similar to the other French colonies" at face value, but looking for symbols of French West Africa, French Somaliland, Etc. I found that French Madagascar and French Equatorial Africa indeed have such emblems, like "File:Seal of the Government-General of Madagascar.svg", but French protectorates like Tunisia and Morocco had their own coats of arms. The Syrian Federation had no emblem, neither did French West Africa and French Somaliland. My research so far has been superficial, but the French didn't maintain a singular policy on overseas heraldry like for example Germany or the United Kingdom for their overseas territories. Also, French Indo-China wasn't a colony, French Cochin-China was a colony, Cambodia, Annam, Tonkin, and Laos were all protectorates, often in a Federal structure with subprotectorates like the Kingdom of Champassak and the Taï Federation of 12 Tribes within other protectorates. De factothey were colonies, but de jure Cambodia, the Nguyễn Dynasty, and Laos were countries under "French protection" (like Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Fezzan, Etc.). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's best to use the above link and then remove the year. The author of the seal is called Jean-Auguste Barre. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC) .[reply]

Made an own version from an Art-Hanoi image, a more skilled graphic artist can improve it (it should be on the "Emblem of Vietnam" English-language Wikipedia article soon). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:04, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coat(s) of arms of the French protectorate of Annam

Article(s): en:Emblem of Vietnam and en:Annam (French protectorate).

Request
I don't like burdening people with too many requests nor was I expecting to find this image (as I was searching for the seal of the Kinh lược sứ (or "vice-roy") of Tonkin), but according to a 1941 (Vichy-)French Indo-Chinese book the above image was the coat of arms of the French protectorate of Annam, a better image for graphists to work with can be found on this Bảo Đại period badge of the Annamese Imperial Guard. If possible I would like to have an SVG version of the above image(s) created. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 00:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Seanchan

Article(s)
Any article this is already on.
Request
Could someone please alter the above file for the flag of Seanchan, so that the three silver 3D lightning bolts in the hawk's claws are replaced with three silver 2D lightning bolts (template above) instead, as I think 2D bolts would contrast better with the 2D hawk than the current 3D ones. Also, I'd ask that the three new bolts be placed with the clutches of the hawk's lower claw, with one pointing straight down, one pointing diagonally left, and the last one diagonally right. Thanks.
