Zoomed comparison between them; png on the left, svg on the right

Article(s): Super Science Stories, many others

Request: This is really a request for an explanation, although perhaps there is a task to be performed once I know what it is. I use issue grids such as the ones above in many articles, and it was suggested I switch them from png to svg to avoid resizing fuzziness. I've done that, with some help from the graphics workshop, and the svg above is now beautifully clear if you click through to it. However, to my eyes it looked fuzzier than the png, so I placed both images in a sandbox, here, and zoomed in using Ctrl-+. The png is much less fuzzy. I took screenshots and pasted them together; you can see them above. This was in Chrome but the same thing happens in Firefox and IE. I asked another editor to take a look at the sandbox and to him the svg is much clearer. Can someone explain what is happening here? Is there some setting in browsers or Wikipedia profiles that could change how svgs render? What I need is a graphic that is clear at any sizing, and I thought an svg would accomplish that, but it doesn't appear to. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): There is nothing wrong with the SVG but there are some issues with librsvg which MediaWiki uses to convert SVG to PNG. In Wikipedia, all the SVGs are rendered as PNGs. What you are comparing at your Sandbox4 are the original PNG and the 414px PNG preview (generated using the buggy libersvg) of the SVG. Try increasing the resolution of the preview. Learn more.
– ∃ Aditya 7 ¦ 15:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -- that clarifies a good deal, and the link was helpful. By "increasing the resolution of the preview" do you mean increasing it from 414px to a larger thumbnail, or is there some other setting I can tweak to improve the resulting PNG? I'm inclined to leave the PNGs in place instead of the SVG if the result is no better than this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:49, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, the Wikitable in that sandbox looks to be far superior to a graphical rendering, IMO. However, I'll work on the SVG in the meantime. I think the issue is that the canvas is much larger than the preview, and that's making the downscaling look a bit blurry. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 10:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much; if you do fix it I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me how to avoid this problem in the future. There are a couple of problems still with the wikitable, one of which is the amount of interior space in the cells, which so far nobody has been able to eliminate -- that makes the table take up much more room for the same font size. There are other, more minor, issues as well, such as the fact that bolded fonts don't show as bold at some zoom levels. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:13, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Increasing the resolution of the thumbnail from 414px may help because the ratio of downscaling required decreases. This may sound weird but it is what I have observed happening to SVGs with embedded raster graphics--the algorithms used for scaling are to be blamed. Doesn't this table look good? I didn't get you about the bold font issue.

It's slightly taller than the image, but not by much. And really, making data that could be displayed as a table into an image is awful from an accessibility standpoint. A table taking up a little more room than an image and potentially not looking quite as nice is not a good enough reason to cut out an entire segment of the population that uses screen readers to access articles. -MissMJ (talk) 21:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to both of you; I'll compare and see if I have any other concerns, but those do look great. I really appreciate the help. Could one of you also explain how to change the nominal resolution of an SVG in Inkscape? I couldn't find it in the manual or via Google. Thanks.

To change the nominal resolution resize your content and then resize the page to your contents and save it. See this screenshot.

Logo of FIDE

Resolved

– The Pink Oboe (talk)

Request: The logo of this quite central chess article looks poor (compression artifacts). It would be great to have it at a higher resolution or as SVG. --Leyo 21:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Improved letters from Avestan and Javanese alphabet

Resolved

– The Pink Oboe (talk)

Letter from Avestan script (not transparent, not sharp)
Done
Letter from Javanese script (too much margin)
Done Smaller margins, SVG.
Sing writing example (too much margin)
Not done see below
Left lane version (file named to show as such)
Symbol only (file named to show as such)

Article(s): Template:ISO 15924/overview (See row Avst, Java)

Request: Please create transparent versions. Also, check for reducing marging to nearly zero. And I'd like to have the Avestan and the one transparent and with some more contrast. I understand they could be copies to let current usage alone. -DePiep (talk) 09:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by MissMJ.

Okay, for the middle picture (Javanese script), the reason there's that much margin is that it's used in a table in the Javanese alphabet article, and the margin in the file is used as a spacing mechanism. Simply trimming it and re-uploading would mess up the table in the article, and uploading a new PNG version with smaller margins is just pointless... So I uploaded SVG versions of some of the letters into the Javanese SVG letters category. -MissMJ (talk) 05:46, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the third picture (SignWriting), the margins that we see as 'extra' actually have a purpose and need to be there. Per SignWriting: "Signs are written in vertical columns. Within a column, signs may be written down the center or to either side. These are referred to as 'lanes,' and are used to indicate role shifting and body movement." -MissMJ (talk) 06:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A good find. If left lane is essential to the sign, it should be in the filename. If I understand it well, the bottom margin is superfluous. But I rest my request in this one. -DePiep (talk) 13:04, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great. -DePiep (talk) 14:11, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It may have already been indicated in the filename for all we know, but I don't know anything about SignWriting. Quite frankly I don't think that whoever re-uploaded a renamed symbol up there should have done so, at least not without consulting someone who knows how to SignWrite. They may have created naming redundancies/altered the meaning of the sign. -MissMJ (talk) 00:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your note only pertains to the name of the file, not the existance of the file itself. This being Wikipedia, someone might come along and improve it. -DePiep (talk) 10:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I might even add that the original graph here is questionable as SignWriting. Doesn't it depict the thumb sticking out backwards from the back of the hand, which is quite an unusual (and for most people impossible to produce) sign? -DePiep (talk) 09:02, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done
