Looking at the rate of progress on the emblems above, and the quality of this bitmap, I'd be surprised if it gets any attention soon.  I might be a bit of a radical in this opinion, but I don't think -all- emblems should be svgified.  Some, like this one, are better as bitmaps IMHO.  But I'm just a junior member, and I can't speak for the other wikigraphists. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 16:34, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
:Except it's a gif, not a bitmap. [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 07:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
::I think he means bitmap as in the sense of a [[raster image]]. --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 09:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:Correct. I guess I should be more specific.--[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 09:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't jump to conclusions based on my Triestian[sic] request; I had neglected to provide information requested. Also, check out (one of) the best SVGs ever, [[:Image:UK Royal Coat of Arms.svg]] that was done (and pretty quickly!) here. [[User:68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] 19:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:That was [[User:Chabacano]], and I think the best work I've seen done here.  --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 20:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah but look at the file size of that svg... 1.59MB. That was seriously a dumb think to do, and really ruins the point of converting images to vector format. Ok, so it resizes as big or as small as you like it...But at what cost? An unnecessary large file size. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 14:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::: Right lets '''think''' about this, the vector '''[[User:Chabacano|Chabacano]]''' made, as a '''[[raster]]''' graphic, at around '''''400px²''''' would be '''156 KB'''. On the '''''46''''' pages on the English Wikipedia alone it is used, around '''''3''''' pages each would use the graphic at the '''same''' resolution. Multiply '''156kb''' * '''15⅓''' = '''2392 kb''' = '''2.34 MB'''. All of the different sizes needed, uploaded separately, would equal '''2.34 MB
1.4 MB''' <sup>''[1]''</sup> compared to '''2.34 MB'''. I'd say that was a good deal.

'''<sup>''[1]''</sup>''' I removed some stray code and re-uploaded it, it is now 1.4mb

'''Request:''' This image scales badly, can something be done? -- [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 21:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''
Wikipedia has a few problems with GIF scaling for some reason.
I made the interior opaque.  Is that any better?  The next easiest option would be to reupload it as a PNG, which would probably give a slightly smaller file size and make the border scale better.  A considerably harder option would be an SVG conversion, but it wouldn't really be worthwhile, and I don't think it's necessary. [[User:CountingPine|CountingPine]] 00:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
:I've tried it out on a couple different computers, even the image here loses all black bordering and the stars look like those crumbly Danish butter cookies. Yummy, but they don't scale well either. ;) [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 05:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks, Slashme, for wikifying the chart. How did you do it? There are innumerable charts in the public domain in federal government PDF documents that people can use. I would like to use your method. Are there free tools for doing it?

:I took the liberty to fix the header in the chart. I also moved the "Not available" line up a bit to its previous location, but kept the row you created for it.

:I copied the wiki chart to [[:commons:Image:USA. Prisoners 1995 to 2005.gif]] so that people have a choice of [[GIF]], [[HTML]], and [[wikicode]] versions of the chart. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 10:34, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks. I know about the table button on the toolbar. I also know about this HTML to wiki converter:
:http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/html2wiki-tables.php
:I was wondering how one gets the table out of the PDF file, and into either HTML or wikicode without manually copying each cell? I only have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 00:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

::I opened the pdf in Adobe Reader and used the text tool to copy the text, and pasted it into [[gvim]], then did a search-and-replace to change tab characters to | characters, and then added the rest of the wikitable formatting by using the table button in the wikipedia editor to generate a template. Then I cut and pasted the table into the wikipedia edit box, and fixed up what wasn't right by hitting "preview", then fixing in the edit box until it came out OK. Sure, much slower than cutting and pasting a gif, but just look at the result (which even blind people can use, another reason not to put text as an image). Also see how the text changes size depending on your browser settings, how the table is still usable in text browsers and mobile devices, and how it changes size to fit different window sizes. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 06:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Thanks for explaining your method. GIFs, wikitables, etc. all have their uses. People in a hurry will copy the table from the PDF, and then paste it into an image editor. Then they can convert the table into other formats,... GIF, SVG, etc. depending on their needs. People can start with a GIF, and put it in an article. People outside wikipedia are much more likely to use the GIF. Little skill and time involved in copying a GIF to a blog, web page, MySpace, etc.. Tables are very difficult, though, for most editors at first. People can always add the HTML table later, or they can link to it, with a note saying something like "to enlarge the table, click it." --[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 02:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' It would be great if someone could fix the lens distortion.  I don't know if that's possible at all though — I tried using Gimp's Lens Distortion filter, but didn't succeed (I'm not a graphics expert though). -- [[User:Ddxc|Ddxc]] ([[User talk:Ddxc|talk]]) 07:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''
Without some correction software dedicated to this specific lens it's never* going to have nice, vertical edges, but I've had a go at making it look more "natural", also cropped and sharpened it.<br />*<small>Someone here may well have something which gives better results, I'm uploading this just in case it's the only offer you get :o)</small>--[[user:MIckStephenson|<b>mikaul</b>]][[User_talk:MIckStephenson|<sup>talk</sup>]] 12:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:Wow, that's pretty sweet already.  Out of curiosity, what tool did you use for that?
:Is it possible that some of the sharp corners at the bottom are artifacts caused by your software?  They don't seem to be in the original.  (Not saying that you should invest more time in the image, it's probably best to just find a better replacement on Commons.)  -- [[User:Ddxc|Ddxc]] ([[User talk:Ddxc|talk]]) 13:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
::It's basically the Spherize filter in Pshop in reverse, plus a bit of fiddling about. I really didn't have high hopes and it's not much better than I thought it would be.. the corners are bits of the extreme edge of the fisheye curve which the filter missed. No fisheye is truly spherical so the bits of this one that aren't turn out wobbly-looking. The worst can be cropped out, which is about as far as it's worth taking, I think. I prefer the fisheye, personally, but each to their own :o) --[[user:MIckStephenson|<b>mikaul</b>]][[User_talk:MIckStephenson|<sup>talk</sup>]] 19:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

:I've got the image loaded and aligned in hugin, and can give you just about any projection at all.  Unfortunately, the one thing I ''can't'' provide is a [[rectilinear projection]] of the entire 180° [[fisheye]] photo — it just isn't geometrically possible.  I did upload a cropped [[Mercator projection]], which I think looks pretty nice.  What do you think?  —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 19:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
::I've added two rectilinear variants.  The 145° by 115° version is about as wide as I can make it — you can already see significant blurring and distortion on the sides, and it doesn't get any better from there.  The other, manually cropped variant has less distortion, but also a much narrower view.  —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 20:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:::...and a third one, cropped to show the rack only.  —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 20:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
::::And one more, this time with a slightly changed perspective.  —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 22:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::The last one's great, nice work! --[[user:MIckStephenson|<b>mikaul</b>]][[User_talk:MIckStephenson|<sup>talk</sup>]] 23:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' I'm kinda new to this... Is it (generally) a good idea to replace black edges or corners with transparency, like here?  And would it be OK to just overwrite the first image with the second one? -- [[User:Ddxc|Ddxc]] ([[User talk:Ddxc|talk]]) 11:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''
In '''my opinion''', I would keep both separate, leaving a link on both Image Pages to the other, and then put the white one in the article since it matches the background best.  <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] <sup>[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]</sup></span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">⚔</span> 17:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

maybe also you could to use "skew" or "distorce"- photoshop,  for to show the map more regular  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/201.53.64.185|201.53.64.185]] ([[User talk:201.53.64.185|talk]]) 17:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:: This is a pdf map of the whole london Midland network. Could this be converted to SVG andimproved. It is not yet being used in an article. Thanks, [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 16:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

'''Graphist Opinion:'''
:I converted it to svg version. Thanks to Illustrator's built in support for pdf files :). You will however, need to fix the license on the image I uploaded, as the license is not correct. Hope you like! [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 14:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

'''I am afraid, that the new version is a infringement of copyright! The image needs to be improved (changing the layout, colours etc.) to remove this copyright status. It cannot look exactly like the original. This is a priority as it needs to be sorted soon otherwise the image will be deleted! Thanks, [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 21:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)'''
:Image has been altered, removed the titles off of it, and changed the entire color scheme. [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 07:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

The image still needs improvements, as it still may be copyrighted. [[User:Dewarw|Dewarw]] 20:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
