Make BeF2 glass diagram, possible crop/pad of other image

Stale
 – DyceBot (talk) 07:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Fluorine

Request:

Please:

1. Make new image "BeF2 glass" from the Silica file

  • rotate 90 deg (I like short, wide aspect ratio)
  • Change the labels. O becomes F; Si becomes Be.
  • Change the color of all the little F's from blue to "fluorine yellow" (use the yellow from the fluorite picture)

2. Make the two diagrams have the same aspect ratio (and prefer wide and short). If you alter the fluorite (pad or crop it), definitely save as new image "crop" because this fluorite image used in very many articles other than mine.

Thanks for new diagram. I would prefer aspects changed to short and wide, to support more of a panaroma presentation. See Fluorine#Low oxidation state metal fluorides.

Article(s): Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster

Request: Vectorise - Hi folks, was wondering if someone would be kind enough to produce a vector diagram of the Space Shuttle SRB. The images above should provide a reasonable start point, with a bit of luck. Would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance! SalopianJames (talk) 16:42, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I have a few questions about the request. Do you prefer a wide-format, or vertical format? The two images are not identical w.r.t. (i) style, (ii) proportions, (iii) annotations. What style/proportions/annotations would you prefer? (It doesn't necessarily need to be the same as either - we could do something different altogether, though it would be limited to what the wiki-SVG engine can handle.) Jon C (talk) 02:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I like the vertical image's scaling, as it shows all the parts without repeating segments as on the horizontal one, but it doesn't show a general overview of the entire booster - would it be possible to, say, have an larger-scale image such as the vertical one at 45 degrees (a square image would be easier to place in an article), with a smaller-scale vertical image of the entire booster (similar to the horizontal one) to one side with lines indicating where the parts come from, such as on File:SaturnV S-IC.jpg? Thanks for replying, BTW! SalopianJames (talk) 12:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
ATM I still have a poor grasp of the content, so I'll likely be working on some sketches and do this with you iteratively. The 45 degrees view is workable, and since we're not too sure what is the optimal solution, I'll probably do this as a hybrid 2D-3D piece to preserve the flexibility. Do you know if there are orthographic views (to scale top/side CAD-like views) floating around? Or technical docs like the ones with the fuel system? Jon C (talk) 13:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that sounds great - not as far as I'm aware, but there are a few of the Ares V booster which is similar, if that helps? SalopianJames (talk) 14:10, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking out loud here.
* I, for one, didn't know what the boosters are --- I think the small scale vertical image would make most sense if it's shown in the context of the Space Shuttle itself (with the rusty orange external tank).
* For the larger scale drawing, I don't have enough reference material to get to a SaturnV like rendering, and SVG don't support gradient meshes (complex shading) anyway, so it'll have to remain quite graphically simple.
* There's still the problem with, well, the details on all the images looking just like scribbles to me. I wonder if all of the details are needed in the final image, or if we should have only some important bits in (like in the Ares example).
* I didn't understand what you meant by "without repeating segments as on the horizontal one" - could you clarify that?
* Looking at both the Ares and Saturn examples, it seems that your preference is for the large image to be in perspective.
With all that, I've roughed in a quick mockup. Is this the general format that I should put details in? Jon C (talk) 14:52, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's looking great - with reference to your last point, I hadn't thought that before, it was just coincidence, but I certainly do now! I like the diagram of the stack, however the same booster type will be used on the Space Launch System, any way of including that too? I'm quite happy for it to remain graphically simple, too. With regards to the repeating segments, if you look at the horizontal diagram, you can see that there is a nose assembly, an aft assembly, and a long, slender cylinder in the centre. This comprises four largely identical booster segments, the forward, forward centre, aft centre and aft segments, which are the repeating segments I was referring to. If the diagram were to show the nose, a segment and the aft in more detail, it might help with scaling. As for labels, they would hopefully be:

  • Nose
  • Nose cap
  • Drogue and pilot parachutes
  • Frustum
  • Forward booster separation motors
  • Main parachute support structure
  • Main parachutes (3)
  • Separation/ordnance ring
  • Forward skirt & IEA
  • Igniter
  • Segments
  • Wall
  • Propellant
  • Central opening
  • ET attachment ring
  • ETA struts
  • Forward systems tunnel & RSS
  • Aft systems tunnel
  • Aft structure
  • SRM nozzle extension

Hope that helps! SalopianJames (talk) 16:09, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. I forgot to post back that I've updated the mock-up awhile ago, and was sorta waiting on feedback (and sorta procrastinating).

Vietnamese flags

 – DyceBot (talk) 18:27, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Those vietnamese flags have slightly different colors, especcially the red seem sto be to dark. As the colors of those old flags are not exactly defined, all of them should use the color of the todays flag.--Antemister (talk) 12:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinions: I can't say I see the issue with the current colours used. They seem consistent with each other and there's little logic to suggest they ought to match the current flag. NikNaks talk - gallery 17:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not taken, the old flags colours were/are different from the modern flag, and I find it rather ironic to want to use the modern Communist flag as a colour source against the South Vietnamese flags. Fry1989 eh? 20:58, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know a better color? At first, those flags had that bright FOTW-red, now they are to dark. The colors of the todays flag are also not defined, see the file history. As long the vietnamese government does not define the colors of their flag, we should use the same color for all historical flags. We (and you) do that for every country.--Antemister (talk) 21:16, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Communist Vietnamese flag is in no way a source for the old Vietnamese flags. Fry1989 eh? 21:24, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And oberservation shows that the red of the historical flags is to dark, see other sources or photos from that time.--Antemister (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you can find good sources with accurate colours (old photos are often somewhat unreliable in that respect), post them here and I'll try to match them. NikNaks talk - gallery 12:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I already tried to do back in Feb 2011. I got pretty close. Fry1989 eh? 23:33, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I can send two pages from flag books. Of course, also those books print both flag in the same color--Antemister (talk) 21:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A better source would be photographs of the flags being flown, although that's clearly difficult. Equally, any documentation from the period would be a good source. NikNaks talk - gallery 21:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most of these are low resolution, and do not seem to have vector equivalents readily available.

I'll be honest, I haven't the faintest clue about the sizes of the ribbons. I'm terribly sorry. My assumption would be that they are supposed to be the same width. Go with that, and I hope if we're wrong, a horde of well-informed South Africans well descend upon us and correct us with righteous fury.

Need help identifying a color

Resolved
 – NikNaks talk - gallery

Article(s): Big_East_Conference#Membership_timeline

Request: I tried editing Big_East_Conference#Membership_timeline, to change the legend, specified as a sentence, to a proper legend. However, the timeline is specified using Wikipedia:Timeline. The colors are specified using Ploticus color page. While I think some of the colors (e.g. orange) are fine, that source defines a color called powderblue, which doesn't match the color used if I use the fontcolor template. I tried guessing, but I haven't managed to match it correctly. I used to have a tool where I could simply click on a color and it would tell me the code, but I don't have it currently. I suspect it is easy to identify the color, but I'm not sure how. Can someone tell me what named color or rbg code to use? SPhilbrick(Talk) 20:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): See Powder blue. Kaldari (talk) 21:27, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link, but I don't see the color on the list. My goal is to use a named color, if possible, or figure out how to use the code if there isn't a named color match, but I don't yet know what code or name corresponds to the color used in the table. It looks a little like Iris, but definitely lighter.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:46, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go with Mediumslateblue, not exactly right, but close enough. Still would be interested to know how to get it right.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you're on Firefox, theres an addon out there called color picker, which lets you click anywhere on the screen and get the color for it in hex and rgb--Trex2001 (talk) 10:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, it works.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Universal calendar icon

Resolved
 – NikNaks talk - gallery

Article(s): not for articles

Request: Could this image be converted to SVG or PNG before transfer to commons ? It is the only universal (language free) calendar icon I can find for documentation such as User:PALZ9000/console which goes onto wiki servers in other languages. I guess I could just convert it to PNG, but is that as good as conversion to SVG for commons ?

I had second and third thoughts about my request, as I figured I could find equivalents, but only found one and cropped it for russian, for Japanese, it's harder, and there are dozens of languages to go. A default for 'calendar' would be helpful.

Stylizing in any way you see fit would be cool too, colours, perspective, whatever, it's all good so long as it avoids text and numerals. Penyulap talk 19:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I just remade the existing JPEG as an SVG. I hope this is sufficient! NikNaks talk - gallery 13:10, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you, that's fantastic. The little icon can say 'calendar' in as many languages as there are with calendars now. Thank you ! Penyulap ☏ 23:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
