Alaska Scenic Byway marker edit

  •  
    Alaska Scenic Byways marker

Article(s): Alaska's Scenic Byways

Request:

I extracted the graphic from the PDF and saved it as an SVG in Adobe Illustrator. The DOT&PF created the file as a series of tiles. In Illustrator, each tile is contiguous, but on the file description page, there are white gridlines between them. I would appreciate anything that can be done to remove the gaps. Imzadi 1979 →

Graphist opinion(s):

The image you extracted is a raster image not a vector, probably the reason why the grids are overlaying the image. Not sure if that's the problem. ///EuroCarGT 15:14, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@EuroCarGT: any thoughts on then fully converting it to a vector image? I've already asked Michael J if he could help since he's been great at vectorizing other highway signs in the past. Imzadi 1979 → 20:45, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Imzadi1979: Try www.seward.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Seward-Highway-Scenic-Guide.pdf, the sign (last page) is already vectored, I've tried extracting it, however I don't have the font so it converts it to another one. ///EuroCarGT 20:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Imzadi1979: BTW, the font is Palatino. ///EuroCarGT 21:01, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think I got it re-extracted and then modified to put the sign borders on the new version. There does seem to be some minor details missing (one green stem, some flower pistols/stamen), and the current preview and the current thumbnail on the image description page still wants to show the gridlines even though the image as rendered on the article doesn't have them. *shrugs* Thanks for the help, EuroCarGT. Michael J, if you can do some clean up to add some of those minor details, that would be great too. Imzadi 1979 → 21:59, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And it's about to be deleted on Commons due to it having an incorrect license. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Alaska Scenic Byway.svg --207.207.28.198 (talk) 22:57, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@207.207.28.198: actually, I doubt that. The nominator on Commons seems not to understand that this is a sign listed in the Alaska Traffic Manual, which explicitly contains the full contents of the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, including the same copyright release as the federal MUTCD. That's the difference between {{PD-MUTCD}} and {{PD-MUTCD-AK}}. Imzadi 1979 → 01:35, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Regarding the cropping, I tried a couple of times to crop it down, but Inkscape doesn't want to do it (I'm still fairly new to it, and the last time I worked on vector graphics before coming here was in the late '90s, using Illustrator). Think you could lend a hand? I'd appreciate it if you could, or even if you could tell me what I'm missing. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did #2 with Adobe Illustrator however it seemed to resized the image which is werid. ///EuroCarGT 21:17, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on which version of Illustrator you're using. Earlier ones don't put a specific width/height measurement in the SVG file, and later ones won't do it if you have the "responsive" tickbox ticked. Also opening an Inkscape-created SVG in Illustrator sometimes resets the 0,0 coordinates for the artboard. Inkscape outputs truly awful code. and they don't appear to be in a rush to fix that anytime soon. --64.9.157.201 (talk) 21:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TRAJAN 117: I've done the basic structure. All text is there in Lorem Ipsum form, even the circular text (complete with the required circular paths) but the renderer isn't displaying it, but it is there for editing purposes so that the correct Arabic script can be pasted in and pathed for viewing. So if anyone else wants to finish/tweak it go right ahead. Otherwise it'll just sit there until the necessary script comes along for pasting into the document. For graphists, the file was produced in Illustrator CC 2014 (v18) so the svg code is correct, but has no Inkscape markup so I've no idea what it'll look like in that dodgy app ;) --207.207.28.148 (talk) 18:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May someone draw the extended frequency spectrum of the G.fast standard ? (from here)

Something like this or this would be nice, too.--Kopiersperre (talk) 15:28, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of interest, why is it so big? It shouldn't be much more than about 15k or so. But 111k? --64.9.157.12 (talk) 20:32, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fred the Oyster has squeezed it to 4k.--Kopiersperre (talk) 14:33, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't been able to get text created in Inkscape to show in files uploaded here, so I've taken to pathing out the text. All those extra vertexes add a lot to the size. I've tried a couple of methods to make regular text work, but none have shown any results yet. I'm open to learning, if anyone knows how to do it. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 13:35, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Switch off "flowed text", it's part of the non-existent SVG v1.2 and the renderer doesn't support it. Just use normal normal text. And your default sans-serif font should be Liberation Sans (which is the font the renderer substitutes for Arial, Helvetica, Frutiger et al). Another couple of fonts you can use that the renderer recognises is DejaVu Sans and Nimbus Sans. The only time you really need to use pathed text is if positioning has to be absolutely perfect, text on a path, or you have to use a very specific font that the renderer doesn't recognise. But using Liberation with font sizes specified in pixels will give very good accuracy for alignments etc.--207.207.22.215 (talk) 18:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MjolnirPants:, I have some links here which you can look at for your work with svg files on Wikimedia.

@Goran tek-en:, thanks! I think that first link (the list of supported fonts) might be what does it for me. I had precious few of them installed on my machine. I've actually read the last one several times over, to see if I missed something that might fix it. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 18:42, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
