Flag of Cape Verde

@Cobaiahackers The stars in the white stripe are not supposed to be centered in the white stripe.

According to [1], which cites the Constitution, the center of the imaginary circle which the stars are placed is 3/8 from the left. The stars are equally spaced around the circle. The yellow stars are not contained within the white stripe. The total aspect ratio of the flag is not defined, and can be 2:3, 3:5, 10:17, or 4:7. SVG-image-maker (talk) 13:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

CRW Flags Inc Store in Glen Burnie Maryland ? that's your source ? I took the SVG flag straight from the Official Bulletin from this pdf https://caboverde.eregulations.org/media/convencao%20de%20bucan.pdf page 16. I am reverting the version Cobaiahackers (talk) 22:48, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

@Cobaiahackers If you open it with Inkscape, you can see several flaws in your SVG. The height of the white rectangle in your version is not exactly 3 times the height of the red rectangle (153.110/51.033=3.000196). Also, the width of the blue, white, and red rectangles are not equal in your version.

The following is transcluded from Article 8 of the 1999 Constitution of Cape Verde.

The National Flag consists of five rectangles placed lengthwise and stacked.

The upper and lower rectangles are of the colour blue, with the upper occupying an area equal to half of the flag and the lower a quarter.

Separating the two blue rectangles are three bands, each one with an area equal to a twelfth of the area of the flag.

The bands adjacent to the blue rectangles are of the colour white and the one lying between them is of the colour red.

Over the five rectangles, ten yellow five-pointed stars, with their upper point on a heading of ninety degrees, define a circle of which the center is located on the intersection of the center line of the second vertical quarter, counting from the left, with the center line of the second horizontal quarter, counting from the lower edge. The star closest to that edge is circumscribed by an invisible circumference of which the center lies on the center line of the lower blue band.

In other words, the centroid of the stars should be placed on the circumference of a circle which is 1/2 the height of the flag. The center of the circle is placed 9/24 from the bottom of the flag. From that alone, it is impossible to obtain a version of the flag in which the stars themselves take up the same height as the white stripe and are contained within the white stripe.
