Stripe pattern needed for map

Map

Request

Costa Rica needs to be striped in light green and red, as they are signatories to both the Vienna Convention and the Central American Convention, similar to how some countries are striped in multiple colours on File:Same-sex marriage map Europe detailed.svg. I can't figure out how to do the pattern so I need someone else to kindly do it for me. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

I'm one of those who have added diagonal stripes to File:Same-sex marriage map Europe detailed.svg - such as at 22:40, 2 December 2013 when I added red diagonal stripes to Croatia and Hungary. Let's consider only the case of Hungary. The previous version of the image had Hungary coloured blue - specifically, #0066FF. There are two things to do: define the pattern, and use it. The pattern is defined near the top:

    <pattern id="stripes_rb" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="8" height="8" patternTransform="rotate(-45)">
      <rect x="0" y="0" width="8" height="8" fill="#D40000" stroke="none" />
      <rect x="0" y="2" width="8" height="4" fill="#0066FF" stroke="none" />
    </pattern>

This is used in the shape for Hungary by locating the <path /> element that draws Hungary (it's the one with the id="hu" attribute), and altering its fill="#0066FF" attribute to fill="url(#stripes_rb)". That's all - it's really that simple. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I only use Inkscape so I'm still a tad confused. I know there's another app for doing this where you edit it by text (I even played around with it ages ago) but the name of it is escaping me. Can you tell me what app it is? Fry1989 ^eh? 23:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use an "app" for this. I use a plain text editor (specifically WordPad) and I make sure that when I save, I select the file type "Text Document - MS-DOS Format" and not "Unicode Text Document" or "Rich Text Format". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's the one. I'll give it a try. Fry1989 ^eh? 18:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it was NotePad++, but that should be essentially similar to WordPad. Since my map has been done in Inkscape for years I know the text would be all garbled, so I downloaded File:BlankMap-World6, compact.svg which was designed to be edited by text. But I'm still really confused as to how to change the colours of individual countries. Fry1989 ^eh? 18:51, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First define the pattern, and put it inside the <defs>...</defs> structure - towards the end is probably best. So the present code that looks like this:

       inkscape:collect="always" />
  </defs>

will become

       inkscape:collect="always" />
    <pattern id="stripes_rlg" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="4" height="4" patternTransform="rotate(-45)">
      <rect x="0" y="0" width="4" height="4" fill="#ff2a2a" stroke="none" />
      <rect x="0" y="1" width="4" height="2" fill="#00c864" stroke="none" />
    </pattern>
  </defs>

The two fill= attributes define the colours of the stripes, and . The only other change is to the code that draws the shape for Costa Rica. Fortunately, this map has been written in such a way that each country shape has an id= attribute which identifies the country, using the two-letter ISO 3166 country code (lowercased). So if you know the country code, you can search for that as the value of an id= attribute. Costa Rica's code is CR, so we're looking for an element having id="cr". Here it is:

    <path
       inkscape:connector-curvature="0"
       class="landxx cr"
       d="m 208.73811,505.38895 ..."
       id="cr"
       style="fill:#00c864;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#ffffff;stroke-width:0.2;stroke-miterlimit:3.9922328;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1" />

I've omitted most of the value of the d= attribute, this is the path data. This <path /> element uses a style= attribute to set colours etc. In that there is the declaration fill:#00c864 we need to alter this to fill:url(#stripes_rlg) which produces:

    <path
       inkscape:connector-curvature="0"
       class="landxx cr"
       d="m 208.73811,505.38895 ..."
       id="cr"
       style="fill:url(#stripes_rlg);fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#ffffff;stroke-width:0.2;stroke-miterlimit:3.9922328;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1" />

However, Costa Rica is a comapratively small country, so the stripes may not be clearly visible. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:38, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but I still can't seem to figure it out. Fry1989 ^eh? 17:57, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work. Since you don't have an account, I uploaded the files in commons on your behalf, and credited you. If you ever make one, and want it to be under your name, just leave me a message on my talk page and I will request removal for you to upload it. Quickfingers (talk) 06:20, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Typeface reconstruction

like this example
Arkansas-similar in height:width ratio to Erbar Light Condensed; Hill House typeface has a very similar curled 2
Cuba-finial ends of characters are beveled instead of serifed
all letters were used, note Cubans repainted their old plates so some letters do not clearly show underlying bevel

all letters were used, note Cubans repainted their old plates so some letters do not clearly show underlying bevel
North Carolina-variable thicknesses, similar to Goudy's Lining Gothic design of 1921-changing direction-North Carolina changed stamping typefaces every 3-4 years, better to illustrate that
$please note characters D and F tilt \, characters C, E, P, R, and the lower leg of J tilt /, B is a distinctive style, both legs of the H tilt inward at the top, and characters A, K, N, S, T, U, W, X and Y don't tilt, not certain if other letters were used$

Fijian Civil Ensign, 1871-1874

The civil ensign of Fiji, 1871–1874.

Article(s): List of Fijian flags
Request: Could someone please create an SVG file of the Fijian merchant flag adopted in 1871 and used presumably until 1874, which would have been similar to the national flag at the time (shown above), but without the crown, and with the shield more centralised as a result. The information on both flags can be read on this page: http://www.hubert-herald.nl/Fiji.htm#_ednref5, which describes both the national flag and civil ensign separately, the former with a crown and the latter without it. Thanks. User:Snow Lion Fenian
