How could I improve the readability of the text in the SVG for lower sizes (for comparison, a jpeg with similar text). --Enhancing999 (talk) 08:54, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Use bigger fonts. The SVG font size is 1/6 the box height (20 px / 120 px). The JPEG fonts are relatively larger. Larger fonts means some names will not fit the width; the JPEG uses two lines for some names (see 1185) and abbreviations for others (see 1126). The JPEG also uses a even larger font for the map number. Glrx (talk) 17:24, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Glrx: Thanks for your advice. I increased font-sizes and added classes for longer names (>12 chars) and sheet numbers.

I hesitate to add more abbreviations. I split the "bis"-numbers on two lines, but left the name of 1185 on 1 line. Enhancing999 (talk) 20:08, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

I split text in 2 lines where possible and added a different text size for short names.

Font-sizes are now (in v 0.51): 35px (sheet number), 23px (longer names, 12 and more characters), 40px (short names, up to 6 characters), 30px (others). Enhancing999 (talk) 19:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

@Enhancing999:

I think you have a reasonable index. Congratulations on using classes. I would have kept the names at a single font size (like the JPEG version) to avoid making Basel appear more important than Sissach, but that is a personal preference. Also, the lines at the margins are 1/2 width; that can be fixed by offsetting and enlarging the size by a few pixels.

You can add a feature to the red dots. Instead of

<circle cy="1020" cx="1200" fill="red" r="8" id="Bern_Swiss_grid_initial_point_zero" />

do

<circle cy="1020" cx="1200" fill="red" r="8" id="Bern_Swiss_grid_initial_point_zero">
  <title>Bern Swiss grid initial point zero</title>
</circle>

It will not show up on WP, but it will show up when the SVG is viewed directly

Glrx (talk) 20:52, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I noticed my preferred font-size varies based on the png size. I tried to improve the positioning, fixed the borders and added the title feature. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

FYI, I made a request for this on COM:GL/M#Create a SVG version of File:Topo 25 sheets orig.jpg. It would be useful to add a background map, as mentioned there. And to have a version with the numbers only. Yann (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Will do a number only one later. Also one without the (partial) digital-only tiles (some barely cover anything at all, currently we only have "Samnaun Ost"). Enhancing999 (talk) 07:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Added it above. Also one for 1:50'000. Somehow the font looks better locally than rendered as png. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:35, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@Enhancing999: @Yann: @Glrx: While the mix of font sizes maximises legibility, the differences in size makes it look a little haphazard. May I recommend keeping the same size and subtly tweaking the letter-spacing and horizontal scaling? Here are a few ways to make small text more legible:

• Use a condensed font with large x-height. From [1], DejaVu Sans Condensed seems suitable.
• Use negative letter-spacing up to around 5% of the font size (e.g. -1px for 20px).
• Scale horizontally using transform="scale(0.9,1)" down to around 90%.
• For multiline labels, reduce line-spacing using dy=0.9em down to around 0.9em, depending on whether the text has ascenders or descenders.

Additionally, tinting the tiles like a checkerboard lets gridlines be eliminated. Current shading can be replaced with boldface or coloured text. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 02:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Please make these two flags used by a 19th century company laying undersea telegraph cables. Both companies are discussed in the same article, but technically they were separate entities.

1. Atlantic Telegraph Company [2], make an inscription "Atlantic Telegraph" in blue, although this is speculation
2. Anglo-American Telegraph Company [3]

Swiãtopôłk (talk) 16:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Swiãtopôłk: I am scared of the first flag because I cannot tell whether the flag is supposed to look just like the UK flag, or if all its red lines are meant to be equal in width. The bottom right quarter of that flag looks like the top left quarter but rotated 45 degrees. I also cannot tell if the flag has a strictly triangular shape, or a square on the left and a triangle on the right. Do you happen to have better references to confirm these details? --痛^Designism (talk) 22:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@痛: Do this with a normal Union Jack. Unfortunately, I did not find any other sources that would provide certainty in the first matter, but the designer's intentions were probably the original flag of Great Britain. I've seen strangely drawn British flags in materials about the company and I think it's just a mistake. I am sure that it is a square with a triangle. This picture of the company's ships shows it this way. This flag looks different, but I suspect it's because the author of the drawing focused more on the ships than the flag. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 23:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Coat of arms of the Soviet Union (1936–1946).svg is the only vector file of the 1936 coat of arms of the Soviet Union. However, it's a poorly vectorized version since it's a bitmap tracing of a raster image. It's also not the most accurate to the official design as approved on May 27, 1937 (shown below). Could somebody please revectorize that image to make it a proper vector image and also an accurate representation of the official design?

The position of "auto" is all over the map. See https://www.gamesradar.com/the-26-year-evolution-of-the-gta-logo-from-the-original-grand-theft-auto-to-gta-6/

We should probably have several versions of the logo. The current version matches the indenting of the file's first upload, so I would leave this file alone. If you want to have different versions, then copy Ice Welder's SVG version of 2019-02-28 10:02 to a new filename. Glrx (talk) 20:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

— Davest3r08 >:) ^(talk) 14:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Davest3r08: arial is not part of fonts at wikimedia, it will be substituted - see m:SVG fonts

in this case you should convert embedded fonts to path next time --Mrmw (talk) 15:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Davest3r08:

Although I prefer using text rather than curves, that poses many problems when trying to duplicate a logo's appearance.

The first problem is finding the right font. Let's say that Arial Heavy is the right font.

The second problem is specifying the font. Your file does font-family: Arial Heavy; font-weight: normal;. If an SVG agent does not have "Arial Heavy", then it will substitute a font, and it will use that font at a normal font weight. SVG wants the specification to be font-family: Arial; font-weight: heavy;. In theory, if "Arial" is substituted, then we have a chance of getting a heavy font. Adobe tools can be even worse: they will use font names that encode both bold and italic variations.

The third problem is many SVG agents do a poor job of substituting a heavy font; perhaps because so few heavy fonts exist. It gets worse for some other font properties. WMF's librsvg does a decent job for font-stretch: condensed (but it does not know that it has the condensed Liberation Sans Narrow), but both Chromium and Firefox seem to ignore font-stretch. That means the only way to get the condensed font is to request something like font-family: Noto Sans Condensed, but that will doom most font substitutions in other SVG agents.

The fourth problem is the varying text metrics. Fonts do not scale linearly, and substituted fonts may have slightly different metrics. SVG 1.1 has the textLength property to force a specific width. Unfortunately, that property is not supported by the WMF rasterizer.

The fifth problem is SVG 1.1 does not have a method of specifying the font's cap height, so SVG 1.1 does not let us fit the text to a box. You used CSS Shapes shape-inside:url(#rect2);, but that is not SVG 1.1.

The sixth problem is WebFonts are a security issue. The exact font could be linked, but that introduces other headaches. SVG 1.1 allows embedded fonts, but that feature has been dropped.

Glrx (talk) 20:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Glrx, the issue is that I don't have any experience in programming SVGs, so I have no idea on how to do that. I made that SVG in Inkscape. — Davest3r08 >:) ^(talk) 20:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

The thumbnail maker bug http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97233#8977673 has caused some numbers along the vertical axis to be duplicated and other text to be misaligned.

Graphist opinion(s)

@Cmglee:

The file has many problems.

I removed the #text nodes that followed a tspan element. That worked around the librsvg rendering bug and made the file render sensibly.

The file has duplicated labels. For example, there are two "4000 K" labels. Normally, the labels would overwrite and not be noticable. With the librsvg bug and inconsistent markup, it would cause the middle and end anchored text to be doubled. (not fixed)

For example, trsvg62 (no trailing #text node; end anchor on width of "2") and trsvg86 (has trailing text node; end anchor on width zero):

<g style="stroke:none;fill:black;font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;text-anchor:end">

<g transform="translate(63.6,365.0)">
<switch><text id="trsvg62-ca" systemLanguage="ca"><tspan id="trsvg8-ca">2</tspan></text><text id="trsvg62"><tspan id="trsvg8">2</tspan></text></switch>
</g>

<g transform="translate(63.6,365.0)">
<switch><text id="trsvg86-ca" systemLanguage="ca"><tspan id="trsvg32-ca">2</tspan>
</text><text id="trsvg86"><tspan id="trsvg32"> 2</tspan>

@QuickQuokka: Thanks for taking this request! Just a few more things though... perhaps Washington's head could be made bigger, so that the top of it is closer to the rim of the circle, as it appears to be in the link? Also, even though I'm rather uncertain about it myself, I'm also inclined to think that the central circle from the flag in the link is meant to be light blue (albeit a much lighter shade than the modern seal).

The insignia (and the flag of which has the same insignia) is incorrect. The flames located on the bottom of the insignia should have 4 tongues on the left, and 5 on the right as can be seen here by the official post as it supposed to symbolize the flames of 1945. Instead, what we have here in Wikimedia is 4 and 4 or exact mirror of the other side. The flames are located beneath the shield with the map of Indonesia.

I am not entirely sure if this logo can be recreated in SVG form due to the blurs and multi-colored gradients, but I guess it's worth asking. (Note: sorry for the bad quality of the logo. Taking it from the series itself is not plausible as it's shown over a wide shot(?), and other bigger versions do not show the outer colors well. Now that I think about it I'm also not sure if the outer colors are needed, so it can be omitted if so.) --Spinixster (talk) 10:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
