Permission to use figure in a book.

Dear Cmglee,

I am working with Prof. Steven LaValle to help obtain permissions for borrowing figures or pictures in his upcoming book Virtual Reality, to be published by Cambridge University Press. The book is online here:

http://vr.cs.uiuc.edu/

We are hoping to include the picture of yours (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/73/Comparison_double_triple_buffering.svg/320px-Comparison_double_triple_buffering.svg.png) in this book (Chapter 7, Figure 7.18). Could we please have your permission for this? Thank you.

Please contact me at awarkoczewski@yahoo.com Sincerely,

Torre Espacio request

Rotating model of Torre Espacio with floors colour-coded by designation. In the SVG file, hover over a floor to highlight it.

I've seen you made .

Torre Espacio is a 230 m skyscraper located in Madrid that has a floor plan that takes into acccount sinus and cosinus functions [1] To learn more [2]

Can you make an svg file similar to this [3] so it shows the floorplan for different floor numbers? Or maybe a gif with all florrplans. See official website, swf file and this floorplans in PDF

I know its lots of work, but I will be very thankful. This is 100% only for Wikipedia. Triplecaña (talk) 11:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll study its feasibility. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 07:05, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello @Triplecaña: I've made a rotating SVG model as on the right. What do you think? Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 17:09, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
	I'm blown away by the bredth and clarity of your comparison of equal area projections. It's an incredibly helpful diagram. Cheers! —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 23:38, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Many thanks, @JamesLucas: glad you found it useful! By the way, I was curious about the code linking to your talk page. I doesn't seem to be Morse code and interpreting it as 22 (10110₂) didn't lead me anywhere. Care to enlighten me? cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 14:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

It's a "prosign"! This particular one is KN, with the overscore denoting that K's dahdidah is followed directly by N's dahdit without the standard pause. There are a number of such prosigns, and the meaning of this one is "go ahead, specific named station", which is a less-than-perfect fit, since linking to my Talk page is perhaps more akin to inviting someone over to a different frequency, but I think the overall tone of the message is right. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 11:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Pyramid SVG

I really admire your Comparison_of_pyramids.svg and Comparison_of_pyramids_SMIL.svg images of many of the most famous pyramids around the world.

I don't have any experience with SVG files, but was wondering if you might consider updating them to include Monk's Mound at the UNESCO Cahokia site. It is considered the largest pre-Columbian site of its size north of Mexico. It has been damaged considerably by less-sensitive early European settlers, but Monk's Mound remains. It stands at about 30 meters so on the smaller side by height, but the base is similar in size to the Great Pyramid. Monk's Mound was also probably taller when the area was inhabited prior to European settlement, given that it is earthen like some of the Chinese pyramids.

Thanks for your work and consideration, --24.148.29.243 23:47, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment, and bringing Monk's Mound to my attention. It looks quite interesting and I'll consider adding it to the graphic when I next update it. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 12:27, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Eight days into Wiki Loves Monuments

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Thank you for submitting your photos to the competition, it really helps improve our coverage of historic sites. Photos from this year are already being used on Wikipedia - though it may take a while for the monuments map to catch up so don't be disheartened if some pins haven't turned blue yet. WLM runs until the end of the month, so please add more and invite other people to take part. The UK is closing in on 1,000 uploads putting us just behind the United States in 14th place out of 49 countries taking part. Let's see if we can jump a few places! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message here or contact me directly at richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 12:51, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Let's make Commons Conference a reality

Hello Cmglee,

I'm writing you as one of the most advanced SVG creators on Commons. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and add your ideas; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

Box-Muller Transform SVG

Fixed

Hi Cmglee,

Firstly, thanks for the excellent SVG of the Box-Muller transform.

Would it be possbile to have the round points (U0, U1) start at 0 and go to 1, so that (0,0) and (1,1) can be selected as points? That way it's easier to see the transformation because cos(0) = 1 and sin(0) = 0.

Delboie (Derek) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delboie (talk • contribs) 09:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Delboie. Good idea! u₁ must be larger than zero, otherwise the point will be infinitely far from the centre. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 12:07, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

An update from Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK

More than 300 people have contributed a total of 4,000 photos to this year's competition and we wanted to say thank you for helping us get this far. The competition runs until the end of September, and you can upload as many images as you want - so feel free to document some more sites. Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted? Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that here. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)}

Diagram of Integrating Sphere use in measuring transmittance and reflectance

In the first part of the figure, dealing with transmittance measurement, shouldn't the bottom port simply be plugged (i.e. covered with the same material as the rest of the inside of the sphere) rather than being fitted with a reflectance standard? 72.89.126.128 08:09, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi @72.89.126.128, I assume that the reflectance standard is opaque and fills the port, in which case, plugging it is redundant. If it weren't, plugging it would be a good idea. Fig. 6 of http://db.cger.nies.go.jp/JaLTER/ER_DataPapers/archives/2013/ERDP-2013-02/metadata gives an example of this use. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 10:11, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Dice sum central limit theorem

I'm doing a project and would really like to make graphs similar to the one you made on the dice sum central limit theorem - on the central limit theorem page. Which software did you use to create it? Thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justdrinkthewater (talk • contribs) 15:54, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Justdrinkthewater, The SVG was generated by a custom Perl script embedded as a comment in the SVG file itself. Extract the lines after the line "<!-- Perl script to create above; please do not remove." in http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Dice_sum_central_limit_theorem.svg (except for the last line) and save it as a .pl file.

Hawai CSS

Hello Cmglee,

I just discovered your CSS-animated Haiwaian map. As a cartographer I find this purely fabulous. If by chance you have or could write a tutorial on how to convert stack of svg layers into such CSS animated svg, the cartographers of the en:WP:GL/MAPS would likely love it, learn from it, and experiment with it on other maps. --Yug (talk) 16:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Yug. I'm unsure how much detail I should go into, so let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on the steps below:

1. Extract paths of contours from an existing SVG, File:Hawaii_Island_topographic_map-en.svg in this case.
2. Assign each path to a class with CSS3 animation (360° rotation).
3. Scale each rotating class by half vertically and progressively translate them to give the appearance of 3D.
4. Add special effects e.g. the wavy surface denoting sea level.

You may also be interested in my experiments below:
