Adding drop shadow to SVG file

Article(s): w:he:אות מבצע צוק איתן and a few more.

Request

Hi. I was trying to add a drop shadow effect (using illustrator) to this file and I get the next warning:

This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser. See the FAQ for more information.

Can someone help with this? thanks, Eitan96 (talk) 08:11, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Great, it will take months to fix that. Thank you any way, I will search for another solution. Eitan96 (talk) 10:46, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

@Eitan96: , you don't have to wait. The discussion concludes, that only external links to filters are blocked. Drop shadow effects can be done without external filters. I tested it here. There are several ways to make it work. I recommend to try using Inkscape's drop shadow filter. Another way is to look into the svg file with a text editor and manually fix external links (needs svg knowledge). Further either me or another editor can add it, if you either describe or draw an outline, where you want the shadow. -- Maklaan (talk) 22:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not to sure what you want but look at this draft with shadow. If you can be more specific if this is not what you want just let me know. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:38, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Btw the SVG should be 1kB not 171 (or 300). ↔ User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?) 23:54, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Why is it so important if the svg is 1k or 300k? Today for almost every viewer an image that is 50 or 500k is not a problem regarding speed. To me the most important thing is how the image looks, what it gives the viewer. Then of course you should try to make it as small as possible, valid svg, good rendering at wikimedia. Then to me comes size. I use Inkscape and I'm not very good in optimizing the code manually, I do try to learn to some extent, to me that is secondary. If you have the knowledge to optimize the code afterwards feel free to do that, that's just great. What I show on that link is by the way a DRAFT and not the final image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , this draft is fine. Can you uppload this to here? thank you! Eitan96 (talk) 07:49, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Oxygen Icon

Request: Why is the thumbnail empty? --Kopiersperre (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Kopiersperre: I narrowed it down to #p mask, when you remove the mask it renders the image. I can't look further into it just yet, but thought I would point you in the direction of the problem. If I get a chance later on I might be able to dig more into it if someone else hasn't already.Offnfopt^(talk) 15:12, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Also I want to add that the svgcheck tool is good for testing SVG > PNG bugs/problems. It will render the SVG as a PNG using the same software as wikipedia/common so you can test without having to upload to commons.Offnfopt^(talk) 15:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: I took a closer look at the markup and tried to come up with different workarounds but didn't have much luck. I'm still fairly new to SVG markup (only started 2 months ago, dabbling in my free time) so maybe someone else with more experience could figure a work around since RSVG is not rendering correctly. At this point there are two options: (I) Remove the mask - This would take away the transparent fade and make a circular arrow which would render in a PNG. The problem with this is it would make the icon look more like a refresh icon instead of undo. (II) The other option would be just leave it as is and maybe in a future update of the RSVG rendering software the problem will be fixed.Offnfopt^(talk) 20:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: Save it as plain svg and it will work, don't ask me why. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:01, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

It would be great if you provided the translation here, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I am not sure what is the right English term for "Foyer" (hearth, fireplace?). Yann (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

héliostats -> heliostats;
miroirs orientables -> adjustable mirrors
Four solaire de moyenne puissance -> Solar furnace of average power
miroirs en parabole -> parabolic mirrors
Four solaire de 1 Mégawatt -> Solar furnace of 1 Megawatt

Neither "hearth" nor "fireplace" sounds good there. Simplest would be "focus"... AnonMoos (talk) 08:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll do this one. Maproom (talk) 14:23, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Done, see above. Comments follow.

I have translated "miroirs en parabole" as "parabolic mirror", not "parabolic mirrors" as specified. Hundreds of small, probably flat, mirrors together form one parabolic mirror.
I have used the word "focus", as recommended by AnonMoos.
I think the diagram is really two diagrams, showing a "Solar furnace of average power" and a "Solair furnace generating 1 megawatt" side-by-side, for comparison. I have therefore moved the former caption to the left and the latter to the right, for clarity.
I suspect that the single flat mirror at the bottom left of the diagram should be slightly curved.
I don't know what licence is acceptable when I upload a modification of an image already on Commons. In the past I have tried guessing, and my upload gets deleted. This time I have not even bothered to guess, I have just said that I don't know what licence to use. Unless someone who understands this can assign an acceptable licence to my upload, it will be deleted in a week.

This GIF file is of poor quality. Could you make a SVG, or at lest a better PNG file? Thanks, --Yann (talk) 11:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

@Yann: Redrawn as a vector file with two versions for text and one version for aspect ratio. The black text version is more readable at smaller sizes. I like the third version best. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:24, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

@Yann: I've overwritten the third version with one expanded by 50% in the horizontal dimension and compacted it vertically, tweaking colors & font weights to make it more legible at smaller sizes. It's almost readable at 320px and reasonably legible at 500px. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 03:07, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@KAVEBEAR: IMO this would be better suited for the Photography workshop and instead of creating vector images, to make the background transparent and keep the images in raster format. Converting signatures to vector is a bit of a pain because of how many micro adjustments it takes to try to get the vector signature to match up with the raster signature. The point I'm trying to make is that it is easier to create the raster version of the signatures so there will be more users who can do the task fairly quick. With that said, I've created some raster signature images of your request since no one has took on the request to create vector images. Offnfopt^(talk) 21:22, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Check the font sizing on Pages 11 and 15. I would have thought it would be straightforward to pull paths from the PDF? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

There is never anything that is straight forward. You loose some information and some is changed, you never know. So you have to check against the pdf-file and edit lines, filling and so on. That's way you have to check averything also, it's so easy to miss something. --Goran tek-en (talk) 22:20, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

@ShakespeareFan00: Thanks for remaining me, I hadn't changed the fonts to wikimedia ones but now it's done. Use the links above to check them again and maybe you have to force your browser to reload to get the new versions. Get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:55, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Font OK, Check Black is actually black (as opposed to being very dark grey)? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

(Aside), I wonder how easy it is to make a simple atronomical telescope with hobbyist lenses and black card.... (hmm)...

"Black" in the pdf-file is actually not black but #231f20ff for the big surfaces (p 13). If you want that to be black just tell me, but maybe they had a reason to make it not black?

I will also need the following;

A fun introduction to Inkscape

This sketch was voted "best in class". The description posted in Commons encourages people to replace it with a better sketch.
Original editable eye. Consists of several layers of objects that can be easily distorted and moved.
Editable eye with pupil dilation, useful for teaching why people who need glasses have poor night vision.

Article(s): Wikipedia:Object to be destroyed

Request: A while back I approached Commons on whether poor quality physics drawings could be posted with the undertanding that students would later improve them. The one person who answered approved. Shown above are three examples of "editable" images that I have contributed. Now I want to do something a bit more involved. The project would begin with a simple but expertly drawn image of Man Ray's Object to be destroyed. Originally created in 1923, it consisted of a metronome with a photograph of an eye attached to its swinging arm. In 1957 it was actually destroyed by a group of students who called themselves the 'Jarivistes'.

This editable svg drawing would serve to help students learn Inkscape. The Inkscape facsmile must be an svg file that is simple enough so novice students could understand it as they edit it. The svg file does not have to look exactly like an actual photograph. But the layers should be simple enough so that editing it would be a learning experience (see the editable eye for a sample). When teaching programming skills I find it useful to give students a simple skeleton file from which to begin, and Inkscape is not unlike a computer language.

~~This ends the reasonable part of my request. The rest might not be allowed by Commons/Wikipedia, but there is no harm in asking.~~
I will seek permission from Wikipedia and Commons to replace the photo currently on Wikipedia:Object to be destroyed by the Inkscape file, with a caption explaining that this is an editable svg file. Then a group of people proceed to stage a fake edit war as they edit the image and/or attempt to restore it (or better yet, just post it and see if anybody edits it). If Wikipedia is not interested, we can use Wikiversity (where anything goes). It is possible that Commons would not welcome such activity. In that case, we confine all the nonsense to an internal server associated with our campus computers (other people could do the same thing, namely download the image and edit it on personal computers). --Guy vandegrift (talk) 15:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

EXIT > ÇIKIŞ

Serious injury > Ağır yaralı

Moderate injury > Yaralı

Minor injury > Hafif yaralı

Injury not known > Bilinmiyor

Vacant seat > Boş koltuk

@Mliu92: @Goran tek-en: WhisperToMe (talk) 05:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

* Hi, I am natively Dutch speaking. Reading the Dutch article and coherent with what I know myself about the disaster, I'm suggesting some corrections, since the English translation appears to be incorrect:

EXIT > Uitgang

Fatal > Dodelijk gewond

Serious injury > Kritieke toestand

Moderate injury > Zwaargewond

Minor injury > Licht letsel

Injury not known > Onbekend letsel

Vacant seat > Onbezette stoel

Explanation:

Ernstig letsel literally translates into: severe injuries. The text of the Dutch article though states these where critical injuries.

Critical injuries translates into: Kritieke toestand.

Matig letsel translates into: moderate injuries. The article though states these where severe injuries.

Severe injuries translates into: Zwaargewond.

Geen inzittende translates into: No passenger.

Vacant seat translates into Onbezette stoel.

F.Y.I: The words letsel and gewond translate into 'injury' and 'injured'.

Request: Please update the color... Red is now #DD0000 per their branding website. Thanks. --Corkythehornetfan 17:06, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Corkythehornetfan: Please verify change in color. According to the linked branding guide, #DD0000 is used for the "Academic" N while the "Athletic" N (depicted above) should be Pantone 186. "Athletic" red is described on page 19 and the current file appears to approximate Pantone 186, although I'm not very familiar with the Pantone system (and am working on an uncalibrated monitor). Various unofficial sources put Pantone 186 as #c8102e, #cc0033 (websafe) from rgb.to or #d21034 from mera.se. There are numerous other approximations for Pantone 186 based on a quick web search. The current file uses the color #e11d38. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:33, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@Mliu92: In their guidelines, they use #DD0000 (page 28) which says PMS 186. Just because they list it as "school colors", doesn't exactly mean that it is only for the academic side. The guidelines from the Athletics website shows PMS 186 for both academic and athletics. The Madeira and RA codes are also the same (not sure what exactly those are, but they're the same), which tells me it is the same code (#DD0000). The athletics link also says it was as of August 11, 2015. If the university lists a certain hex code, that is the one we've usually gone by (at least on the English Wikipedia), because they have a certain code used in their branding. We usually refer to those sites if they do not have a code listed. The current file is outdated (color-wise), which is why I've requested this change. Thanks, Corkythehornetfan 19:57, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: Thanks for the fast response, and thanks, this does make sense. I've updated the SVG file with the new red. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@Feuermond16: take a look at these vector versions.

I stuck with 1000px high sizes for the most part (the majority of the signs are 800x1000) and used the red color from Eco Pfad Bad Emstal. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 04:26, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your work. It is not a problem when the shapes are not 100% exactly, I just need it for 250px in my articles. Have a nice day -- Feuermond16 (talk) 13:12, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Request: A moderator commented on my page saying how I should change the file from .png to .svg in order to improve the quality of the image. In short I used a few converters, but they ended up just becoming completely black. He said I should ask for a request here. So, how can I make it .svg? And why is the black thing happening? Thanks in advance! -Tardis218 (talk)
Graphist opinion(s)

Both images are of such a good quality that technically there is no need to redo them or convert them to svg. If they are converted to svg in commons and wikipedia they will be rendered as png anyway which would end up with the same resolution quality. That is why I recommend: save your time and leave them as is. -- Maxxl² - talk 18:18, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

As a trial, I converted (redrew) the first image to SVG, which yields an 84x savings in space. It helps pages load faster on bandwidth-limited machines, which is one motivation to change to vector drawings. On the other hand, it's not like 84KB is a huge file by any means, either, so the advantage may be slight for most broadband connections. I agree, the original file is of sufficient resolution to scale cleanly to smaller sizes, as well, but that's the other primary reason to convert to SVG. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 18:30, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

It does not help to load faster as the server immediately converts every svg to a serie of thumbnails and standard size png and returns on request of the svg file only png images to every wikipage as svg files can not be displayed in context. The space saving is to be neglected as the storage capacity we have here in the wikimedia world is unlimited. A huge file is 8 MB jpg file which contains the photo image of simple shack in the outback. Files of that kind and size are uploaded and stored here by thousands every day. -- Maxxl² - talk 18:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Not sure if that's the case though, since File:MediaWiki SVG fonts.svg renders the font fine. Wylve (talk) 14:33, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

No, it does not render in that sample SVG either. All TSCu fonts fallback to DejaVu Sans apparently. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 22:36, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

It looks fine to me here. Wylve (talk) 09:00, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

It appeared to me the comic font had been rendered correctly when I first accessed your link (2000px width), but after a hard refresh of my browser, it fallbacks again.

Request: The rainbow color bars must be removed, so the "5" logo can stand alone without any background. --George Ho (talk) 20:37, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

I don't think the rainbow stripes are intrusive. If you're determined to remove them, you should fork a new image instead of overwriting the current one. To do that, open the SVG file in Notepad++ and remove codes from line 17 to 93 and save as a new SVG file. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 03:49, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I disagree, Sameboat. The colour bars meet UK's threshold of originality, which is very low. See COM:TOO#United Kingdom and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Pet Shop Boys - Introspective.jpg. --George Ho (talk) 06:36, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Then go on. As I said, removing those stripes is very straightforward which doesn't even require you to open the SVG file in any graphic editor. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 06:50, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I don't know whether I should trust Notepad++. Does the W3C website have a downloadable app? --George Ho (talk) 06:56, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Actually you can use MS Word or default Notepad, the line/row just isn't shown directly next to the actual document as those advanced text editor, but only in the bottom status bar. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 07:11, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I attempted to upload it after using Notepad. However, I do not see the image. In fact, pixel is 0x0, and size is 645 bytes. Fortunately, I didn't upload the broken copy yet. What do you think this is? --George Ho (talk) 07:56, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I guess you removed the wrong codes. I uploaded my revision, but due to recent Wikimedia cache issue you may not see the result (PNG render) immediately. However the actual SVG file should be updated already and you should check the difference between the old and new codes. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 09:31, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks in advance. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 13:19, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Why? Anyway the Dalmatia escutcheon is not well formed, in addition Dalmatia coa is also unheraldic. I suggest to give it to an heraldic project. → Perhelion 13:39, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Well the three coas were all taken from various sources that do not relate to the actual regions. One is taken from the Croatian republic coat of arms, the other is the Istria County coa.. I.e. their shape is wrong for the purpose we have in mind over there, which is simply representing the regions with their respective traditional symbol, and it would be rather well for the coas to appear less haphazard.

Naturally, the escutcheon shape was merely a suggestion. A well formed escutcheon would be preferable to one that isn't such.

But please do clear that up. What do you mean exactly that the Dalmatia escutcheon isn't well formed? And what makes it unheraldic? Also, where precisely do you suggest I take the Dalmatia coa? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 13:57, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Historically blue has been a female color. And I doubt the boys = blue; girls = pink thing is enshrined anywhere in US law, it’s just a preference of some hospitals. By your logic we’d have to edit every map on Commons to make Great Britain red.—Love, Kelvinsong talk 00:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

If this project were to be undertaken, I would also suggest simultaneously fixing font problems in these pyramid diagrams. Many of them use fonts that the Wikimedia Commons SVG-to-PNG graphics engine cannot render correctly. A 'bot could easily perform font substitution in the SVG file text. I've fixed a few dozen manually, but there are so many of them I eventually gave up. — Quicksilver^@ 20:13, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Is there proof for the white hem actually being a part of the flag? The "Construction" section of the EnWP article is unsourced, and while the government page sourced elsewhere in the article includes the same table of measures, it's not clear the "Uçkurluk" (translated as "hem") is actually part of the flag design. In fact the flag image on the government page does not include a white stripe at the hoist. SiBr₄ (talk) 17:14, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Nominally, pre, but with a bust form in use.. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:39, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Without wanting to be thought of as politically incorrect (which I am most of the time), I'd suggest flattening out the curve of the butt, increasing the shoulder and chest width marginally, the same with the thighs, reducing the bust, also marginally and maybe introducing a slight groin bulge (a straight forward curved path like the eyebrows could do that). The face could stay the same as that's purely cosmetic anyway. Mostly it could be done with the existing SVG and just moving the relevant anchor points in or out to taste. I took out most of the cusp points and replaced them with curves so it should be relatively easy to do without introducing too many distortions or angular points. I'd volunteer to do it, but I'm right in the middle of a couple of larger jobs (one that's already been delayed a couple of weeks) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

'French' maid design

As I said, I can't do anything at the mo', but I can recommend a couple of techniques that will make life a lot easier for you when doing vector graphics. These are especially useful when doing symmetrical shapes that have curves.

If it's a pair of things you need to do like legs or arms. just do one of them, then when that's done to your satisfaction reflect it, et voila you have matching legs. Likewise, when you have a symmetrical shape like a face, only do half of it. Again when you are satisfied with that half, reflect it then join the two halves together. This way all the curves will match on both sides instead of struggling to get the bezier curves identical.
If you want to get things to fit inside another shape, e.g. the fishnets in the diagram above. There are two ways in which you can do it.

Either design the leg the way you want it and use it as a clipping path to contain the fishnets so nothing goes outside the lines of the leg.
The other alternative if you aren't too sure about clipping paths/masks is to use pathfinder operations, i.e. use one shape to cut out a section of another shape to create a new third shape. E.g. The legs and the fishnets. Now I'm not sure how the exact procedure goes in Inkscape, but it will be close to this... 1. create the leg. 2. create the fishnets. It doesn't matter how big so long as it's wider and taller than the leg. Then copy and paste a copy of the leg on top of the fishnets then subtract the leg from the fishnets (ie all that's left of the fishnets was what appeared inside, intersected, the leg shape) so that only the fishnets remain. Those fishnets will now exactly fit the inside of the leg so all the tiny nooks and crannies will fit and there won't be any gaps or protrusions.--Fred the Oyster (talk) 23:57, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I don't know what operating system you run but Chemtool is a program on Linux and it has a test version for windows here. Into this program you can import files x.mol, edit if you need and then export as x.svg. At this link you can search and download x.mol files for each compound. If you don't run Linux I'm sure you can find a similar program for your OS.

It's much better if you download them your self as you have the different formulas and you know what is right or wrong.

Also if it's that many you are more motivated to do them all. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:37, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Community logo (for reference)

@とある白い猫/15: Done - I used the same number of frames as the previous GIF to keep the file size down. I could have made it smoother with more frames but that would have doubled the file size. The updated logo along with the GIF are in the above gallery. Offnfopt^(talk) 20:55, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

@Offnfopt: Do you think you can make the gears background transparent as well? -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 08:01, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

SVG and the PNG-24 file formats allow for a variable level of transparency, because of this it is easier to use anti-aliasing to make smoother looking edges while maintaining the ability to have transparency. GIF on the other hand just has one level of transparency, it is either 100% transparency or 0%, there is no ability for 50%, 25% etc transparency. Because of this it is hard to have smooth edges of curved elements in a picture when using a transparent background, this causes the edges to be more pixelated. So I can't have a transparent background on the GIF because the edges would be pixelated and look horrible. Offnfopt^(talk) 00:41, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Interesting. The animation would be used to show "working" as ORES can take quite a bit to run when training a model. Do you think you can do an [[:File:SVG animation using SMIL.svg]-like animation? -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 02:59, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

@とある白い猫/15: Take a look at the upload history for File:Revision Scoring as a Service logo-rev2.svg there are 5 revisions of the logo, see if any are what you had in mind. If not even just providing a rough mspaint sketch can help me to get it how you want. Also just for fun I animated that last revision of the logo I uploaded. Edit: Note: I can remove the borders I added if they are undesirable. -Offnfopt^(talk) 02:51, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

@Offnfopt: The inspiration behind Revision Scoring logo was File:Squaredcircle.svg which is the glyph of the w:Philosopher's stone. I like the final version of File:Revision Scoring as a Service logo-rev2.svg (shown) overall but I wonder if it'd be better for the red circle to remain within the triangle of the letter A. Would that make it too small? Also I think the borders make it feel a bit weird though I am not really sure. What do you think? -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 09:56, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps something more like [7] inside the circle (swap orange with green and i made out of the gaps in red). Feel free to stylize. :) -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 13:07, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Another direction could be using File:Revision Scoring as a Service logo.svg for basis but using the white square to read Ai similar to [8]. -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 13:10, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

@とある白い猫/15: Take a look at the upload history for File:Revision Scoring as a Service logo-rev2.svg, there are more revisions for you to look at. The latest is the same as before but without the borders. The other revisions show some examples of trying to do as you requested with the "i" integrated into the "A" character.

@Offnfopt: Do you think you can rotate the outer circles so that it resembles the configuration of the community logo (aka meta wiki logo). I am also curious if you can play with this design a little, 4 fragments are strange but also perhaps the tail of the i can be a bit longer, longer than the A so that its more prominent - there seems to be some white space around all logos too :/ . Also, feel free to come up with a radical design too. I'd not want you to be confined to our suggestions :) -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 20:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Great! Actually I think one problem with all proposals (and the current logo) is the surrounding circle and how it is mis oriented. Do you think you can apply a similar change to the current logo? IE such that the edges of the triangle touch to the middle of the 3 circle fragments?

Please keep in mind that it takes several man days of intensive work to transfer the PDF-data to a true type font by hand. The font itself can't be uploaded here as part of the SVG-code, but has to be transformed into path elements by Inkscape (or another editor) beforehand and is then rendered to a PNG file by librsvg to be displayed.

Unless one of the graphists happens to be very knowledgeable in this area of anatomy, I think you'll need to tell us what is wrong with the diagram in much less technical language. :) NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 11:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

DS has asked me to comment here. This reference indicates that another synapse should be present. The red line that descends from number 1 should go much lower—to C8-T2. This is at the bottom of the neck/top of the thorax. At that point, there is a synapse within the spinal cord. For consistency, that point should be marked on the diagram with a red dot, similar to number 3. That synapse is called the ciliospinal centre [of Budge]. From that point, the red line should move forwards (towards the right of the diagram) out of the spinal cord up the sympathetic chain to numbers 2 and 3. Axl (talk) 13:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: @Axl: The svg file is NOT a proper svg. It's a bitmap image with in a svg file which is bad.

Do you want me to redraw this as a svg file?

Also the reference to the google book doesn't give me any information that I can understand/use. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:14, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

It appears the previous version of the file was a proper SVG, but had flowtext issues and was replaced by the current embedded-bitmap version. There's no need to redraw the image yourself if you base the new file on the archived version. SiBr₄ (talk) 21:29, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I have seen that and will use one of the earlier versions and fix the text issue. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:57, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Goran, thank you for helping. Never mind the Google book reference. Do you understand my explanation above? Axl (talk) 20:59, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: @Axl: OK now you can look at a draft with the new information in it. I tried my best to understand and I looked at other images also. The original illustration was done in such a way that I had to redo it to be able to edit it easily, and to me it was to wide front-back so I made the version above more compact front-back.

Should there not be explanations on what the other stuff there is or is this just for people with knowledge in the subject?

Should not the other stuff have more "body/texture" in it so it's easier to understand?

So give me feedback on what to change and so on, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:08, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Goran, thank you for making this draft. It is certainly an improvement.

I am not sure that the double line descending from number 1 is helpful. I think that it would be better as a single line. Perhaps the red line should mirror the curve of the back of the neck, similar to the spinal column. Even though the line does descend lower now, it is still not low enough. Also, I now realise that numbers 2 & 3 (the stellate ganglion and superior cervical ganglion) are also too high. This picture gives a better idea of the levels of the ganglions.

Regarding the "unlabelled" parts, there are parts of the brain, the carotid artery, and the muscles around the eye. If you think that the picture would be improved with these labelled, that would be fine. Axl (talk) 09:10, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

@Axl: I have zero knowledge of this subject, please remember that when explaining.
At the beginning of this request there is a link ciliospinal center which is supposed to be correct and in the image there are two lines going up, that's why I drew like that.
You refer to the spinal column but I can't find it in the new image you provided.

In the new draft you can see that I have joined the structure (blood vessel?) between 4 and B, is this correct?
I have added other things (and more surface) also but I'm not sure I have understood it right so you have to check the draft thoroughly.
As you can see I have added letters to the parts that I wonder what is this and I guess I'm not alone. That information has to be added into the information but right now I wonder what is F (part of the brain...)?

To an illustration like this you can work with lights, shadows and texture as much as you want but I think we should keep this in this more simple style.
So look at this draft and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:49, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: @Axl: I have tried to get feedback from Axl (I also left a message at his talkpage) but haven't got it so far. Can you DS or anyone else you know help me with this so I can complete this request, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:10, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I am sorry for the delay in my response.

The image in "Ciliospinal center" shows two separate nerve fibres/paths to the eye. These two paths remain separate throughout; one goes to the upper part of the sphincter while the other goes to the lower part.

You are right that the spinal column is not explicitly marked in the image. This is because it is hidden by the overlying muscles. However the descending part of the path (marked D in your new image) is in the spinal column.

I suppose that the blood vessel (marked B, leading upwards) is the common carotid artery leading into the internal carotid artery. I am unsure if "B" is supposed to represent the branching of the subclavian artery; if it is, it is far too high. In any case, the pink line (nerve fibres) should not curl forward around a branch of the blood vessel.

On your diagram, "F" is the cerebellum. (It should occupy more space, but it is not really necessary on the diagram.) Axl (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: @Axl: Sorry for the delay I had to do other things. Now you can look at a new draft. I have made the changes I understood but this one "The image in "Ciliospinal center" shows two separate nerve fibres/paths to the eye. These two paths remain separate throughout; one goes to the upper part of the sphincter while the other goes to the lower part." I didn't understand what to do with. Please give feedback in relation directly to my draft as I have zero knowledge of the subject when you use specific words for it, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: @Axl: Can we finish this one here or is there no interest in that, get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:29, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello again, Goran tek-en. Yes, I would be happy to help you improve the image. I shall have to re-familiarize myself with the anatomy. Axl (talk) 11:39, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

@Gomada: there doesn't appear to be an image here. Is the image hosted somewhere other than Commons? BMacZero (talk) 17:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@BMacZero: You didn't look around, did you? The file was on Commons, but has been deleted 07:55, 1 October 2015, before you took care about this request. It's enough to have a look at File:Marwani coin.jpg to find out. --CiaPan (talk) 09:32, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

@Gomada: Sorry, I just quickly review these to see if there are any obvious difficulties, and typing the filename in the search box doesn't bring up deleted results.

In any case, if you can provide an external link to the image, someone may still be able to help you here. The copyright problem was probably with the photograph, not the coin itself. Otherwise, close this request. BMacZero (talk) 16:46, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
