Graphist opinion(s): Hi Ivan - I simply saved the file in Illustrator (the blue circles doesn't show up in there either), and it seems the blue circles are no longer present. The fonts were, however, problematic, and I converted it to DejaVu Sans. (Fonts are always problematic with SVG :( ) It doesn't look as nice as your original version, but I think that is as far as I can take it. If you have other suggestions please let me know.

Graphist opinion(s):

From Help:SVG:
My text is appearing as little blocks, or isn't showing up at all after uploading to Commons!
if you use "Flowed Text" in Inkscape, it will render as a black rectangle. Flowed text boxes are created when you click and drag to make you text box. To avoid this, just click once to position your cursor and then type your text. To convert a flowed text box to a normal text box, go to the "Text" menu and choose "Convert to Text".
If this still doesn't work, some text features of Inkscape are not supported by MediaWiki's renderer, such as text-on-path. If you are not using flowed text and still have problem, convert the text to paths. Do this by selecting the command Path>Object to Path. This will convert the text to paths. Save as Plain SVG, and reupload your file.

Graphist opinion(s):✓ Done --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful image, except that there is a typo. Udupi district is incorrectly written as "Udapi district". The font size should be much larger, with district names in block letters. The text for Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts intrude on the yellow region. Also, Mangalore text is too close. It would look better just a little farther to the left. Joyson Noel Holla at me 20:56, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll correct the typo, but I shan't be writing the other captions in upper-case as it looks awful and amateurish. As I'm a professional designer I have no intention of putting my 'name' to anything that looks awful and amateurish. And "too close" is a subjective thing. You wanted the usual arrows removed, so you'll have to accept that "too close" also means leaving the reader in no doubt as to where what is. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Point of order, it wasn't a typo. "Udapi" is what is written on the original image, I just copied that. I also just noticed what you mean about Mangalore. I was looking at the original which is okay, but I see form the uploaded SVG that it's far too close so I presume that's a render bug. I'll move it further away to see if I can take the bug into account. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
At least increase the font size! The names are not clear from far. By the way, Udapi's the wrong spelling. It's alternative spelling is Udipi, but the more commonly used one is Udupi. Please refer Udupi district. You have done a good job, but please correct the typo and increase the font size. Joyson Noel Holla at me 11:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've already corrected the spelling error. As for the text size, it's meant to be readable (and proportional) at its full nominal size, not at thumbnail size. As such the text is the correct size for this image. For an image of this size to make the text readable in thumbnail form requires the full size image to have a ludicrous font size. That is what I mean about it looking amateurish. If it's a necessity to see the district names you can use the image's caption (and legend tag) on the article page to state the district names, additionally if people are interested then they can click on the thumbnail, that's what it's there for. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:08, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Philosopher Let us reason together. 00:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, if you can just tell me what colors to use for good "map colors," I can actually change the map myself, as I did with the election result version. I'm afraid I'm useless when it comes to choosing colors or when it comes to understanding how hex codes translate into colors. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 00:28, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that the colours aren't vibrant, it's the fact that the original artist has decided to reduce the opacity of the map so that it's semi transparent. Strange choice, but there ya go, that's people for ya! --Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, just spotted that you were the original artist. Heheheheh. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:49, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the colors were generated by a weird tool I used to change the .kml file into a .svg. *sigh* In any case, but is there a standard set of map colors I can use to replace them when I restore the opacity setting? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 00:53, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):Sometimes it's easier to do it than explain it :) Meanwhile I'm off to bed, so have a look at the source code of the one I just did and you should be able to see the colours. Incidentally, an easy rule of thumb for figuring out what colours equate to hex values is the remember that the first 2 characters equate to the red value in hexadecimal (where ABCDEF equate to 10-16), the second 2 are the green values and the last two are the blue values, so if the first two characters are higher than the other two pairs then the colour is a shade of red, or has a lot of red in it. Likewise for all the others. Have fun :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 01:06, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Thanks. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 10:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see you just "optimised" the images, reducing their file size by a lot. I was just wondering what that meant? I also noticed that it seems to have broken the House file. It gives the following message when clicking on the image, "This page contains the following errors: error on line 119 at column 125: Namespace prefix kml2svg for originalId on path is not defined Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.." --Philosopher Let us reason together. 13:42, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, I've just sorted it. The problem was caused by leaving in 10 instances of kml2svg tags whilst I was optimising by hand. I did a regex search and replace but forgot that 1-9 and 100 didn't have 2 characters. Duh. I can only insist it was Sunday morning lethargy. By the way, for future use, when you reset the opacity of the fill back to normal you forgot to also do the stroke. Right, now for a spot of lunch and then some proper work. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 13:57, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    A clickable map of India exhibiting its states and territories.

Request:

  • I've also been trying to extract x-y coordinates for the states and territories for use in en:Template:Indian States Image Map, so that one can click state-shaped polygons rather than just rectangular boxes. I tried using [Inkscape Map], tried exporting the coordinates with an Inkscape extension (couldn't find the ".inx" folder in my directory), etc.
  • For a given state/UT in the maps this work is derived from, the polygon path corresponds to the real-life border maybe in 50% of the nodes--the other nodes are positioned in a hack-like non-precise manner and depends on these portions being concealed by state/UT objects layered above those portions. Maybe that is the problem--I'm not sure ... Thanks.Saravask (talk) 22:43, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): As far as the image map coordinates goes, have you tried the inline ImageMapEdit tool, just for such occasions as this? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 02:45, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Font: I ran SVG Check on your Verdana version and it rendered without errors. I then tweaked letter spacing, put italics on water bodies, etc, while keeping the font Verdana--SVG Check gave the same errors I was getting before I posted here. I checked all the labels, and Inkscape is showing that they are all still Verdana, so I don't understand why the "[a]llowable types are serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy and monospace" and "you have a trailing space in one of your attributes" warnings. I also tried the W3C Markup Validator and got three errors in the XML:
  1. "Line 2, Column 33: there is no attribute "class""
  2. "Line 332, Column 10: end tag for "ul" which is not finished"
  3. "Line 357, Column 10: end tag for "ul" which is not finished"
So maybe this is an Inkscape issue? I have little clue what's going on ...
  • Imagemap: No, I didn't know about or try ImageMapEdit yet--of course I'll use that as a last resort, because I thought there were fully automated ways to get the border coordinates. I've been trying to find where the Inkscape extensions directory is located in OS X Lion. I tried your error-free Verdana version in InkscapeMap and it again failed to load: "Error in file parsing: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1594px"". Again, this suggests that Inkscape is messing up/corrupting the XML data formatting or something.
I'm wondering if you can again remove the font/formatting errors or know why the errors are being generated. Again, thanks for your help. Saravask (talk) 10:55, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I'm able to export lists of x-y coords from Inkscape, so the imagemap coords issue is resolved. I'm still not sure about the font/attribute rendering errors. I've been told by Planemad on en-wiki that Nichalp's svg (on which this is based) is fundamentally flawed. Saravask (talk) 15:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely an issue with Inkscape, after all it is basically crap and is only used because it's the only free alternative to Illustrator and CorelDraw. I vaguely remember sorting out the text problems of one of the two base images you used, which again was caused by Inkscape. Have you looked at the file in a text editor (which displays line numbers) to see what the errors actually are based on the list of errors produced by SVG check? I think you'll find that all the errors relate to Inkscape's own tags rather than the official SVG tags. Additionally sometimes you can sort out text related problems by sorting out the way the font type is referred to, eg "'verdana'" should be changed to "verdana", ie removing the sinngle apostrophe pair. When I get a min I'll have a nosey in the code to see if I can see anything semi-obvious. The internals of SVG aren't really my speciality but sometimes what I do know is enough :) . --Fred the Oyster (talk) 20:38, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a courtesy (so that no one goes through the XML code), I will redo this map, basing it off of File:India disputed areas map.svg instead. I do have Illustrator 5.1, so I'll use it instead of Inkscape--I didn't know that Inkscape messed up the code and made it invalid. Regards. Saravask (talk) 13:24, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Maybe some cropping around the edges would eliminate that issue? Just a suggestion. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 17:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I deliberately didn't crop anything simply because it's so unsymmetrical. Instead I chose to fill in the 'missing bits with white, though if you think a crop would improve things I'll certainly have a try. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 19:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, give it a shot and see how it looks (no need to upload it if it doesn't turn out well). Looking at the image again, I see that it might be difficult to crop it without losing illustrated parts of it. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 19:15, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
