Map of the Okhotsk Plate created from the world map

Request: Could you create a map of Japan with tectonic plates from the world map (in french), as it was done for the Okhotsk Plate ? I need on this map to see the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, the Okinawa Plate and the south of the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench (the South Kuril Islands with Iturup). Thanks! PP_Tom (talk · contribs)

I have little experience with vector graphics, and a decent amount in raster, but I'm just flat out confused. I am trying to vectorize this image. I'm running into issues though. I can't seem to modify the paths to add color to the correct places in the image because of the way the points are set up. (I can't seem to connect two preexisting points) and I can't crop it. I'm following http://inkscape-forum.andreas-s.net/topic/112456 directions, but it's only cropping a tiny itsy bit, which is strange. I'm uploading the image so you can see if you can help, as I'm genuinely interested in helping if I can figure it out ;) Here is the image I've worked on...

Great work so far, can someone jump in and help? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 02:00, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you're just colouring in the existing countries... I think you'll have to trace out new shapes for a lot of them since they don't correspond with the existing borders. Incidentally, the borders on the existing jpg map appear to be the modern ones. If possible, would it be preferable to remove these in the new version? I can help but probably not until next week... TastyCakes (talk) 04:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given a few directions on how to say modify paths, I think I would be able to do it. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs/^Vote! 04:59, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but I usually use the "Draw Bezier curves and Straight Lines" tool. Once you've got a polygon or line you want to modify, if you select it and click F2 you'll bring up all of the points. Then you can move any of the points, turn any of the straight lines into curves by clicking and dragging or add new points (or nodes) by double clicking on the line somewhere. Is that helpful? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem... TastyCakes (talk) 06:48, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've made an attempt at this. A lot of it is just eyeballed from the existing maps so please tell me if anything is wrong and needs changing. I'm not sure I've picked a very good colour for the non-Japanese territory, feel free to tinker with if you like. 21:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

That is fantastic! Can you make the blue transparent instead, and change the grey to the standard Wiki-grey of the first? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 12:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I can delete the water, but I'm not sure the regular colour will work as well as usual because if you look there are no borders in this map, so it is difficult to see lighter colours (that's why I changed it). Not sure if I'll have a minute for a while, but I'll give it a try when I do... TastyCakes (talk) 14:20, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you also shift the perspective? It would make more sense to have the extra space be the Pacific basin to the right, not Africa to the left.--Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 08:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Sakhalin, its article makes it seem like Japan claimed the whole island for a long time all the way up to the Russo-Japanese war, when they settled for half. Since the map is supposed to be 1942 (not isochronous, or whatever the name is), I agree it's a mistake: only half of the island should be red. TastyCakes (talk) 19:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

National Parks to add and enlarge

National Parks location map

Article(s): Yoho National Park and many more.

Request: The size of Nahanni National Park Reserve needs enlarging significantly, after a huge expansion. For reference, take a look at Parks Canada's map on this page: http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/nt/nahanni/ne/ne2_e.asp The map shows the original core of the park reserve, and the enlarged park reserve of today.

Missing national parks on the Wiki map include: Fathom Five, Bruce Peninsula, Lake Superior (a huge area), St. Lawrence Islands, Point Pelee, Georgian Bay Islands, Mingan Archipelago, Ukkusiksalik, and Sirmilik.

Terra Nova could use some shading in Newfoundland. Manitoulin Island needs coloring in with grey, since it is in Ontario, not the US. Lake St. Clair should be colored blue, not white.

If I can help with any references, let me know. Wish I could work on the map myself, but I don't have the technical know-how.

I have tried, but with no luck. Uwe Dedering (talk) 18:57, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is no problem visible when the SVG is rendered directly in Firefox, when the SVG is opened in Inkscape, or when the SVG is converted into a PNG by Inkscape and then viewed in Firefox... only when the SVG is converted to a PNG by Wikipedia and viewed (within an HTML document or independently) in Firefox. I would say that this is most likely a bug in wikipedia's use of the RSVG library that does not exist in Inkscape. The image does not pass W3C Validation , but I doubt that the errors noted there are causing the problem. Tried re-saving in Inkscape using the 'Plain SVG' encoding, but the glitch is still there when uploaded to mediawiki.Lesqual (talk) 09:56, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

very strange indeed. Bband11th (talk) 14:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, after three attempts. Seems to be related to the dashed boundary extending beyond the edge: the PNG renders with a thin straight line closing up what ought to be a dashed path, so I made the dashed line into a separate path and cropped the shape to the picture borders with no dashed border of its own. Deleted and merged a few other objects too.

Satisfactory? In territorially controversial zones like this it can be hard to use words which are descriptive without offending.
