Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the discussion page for the Illustration workshop. Any comments or questions about this specific workshop may be made here. Note that requests for image improvement, etc. do not belong here but should go on the main requests page

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop page.

Images already in svg

Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop contain a section with a lot of images, raster and svg. The question of the user who opened the section, is for conversion request. A lot of those images are in svg and there is not conversion needed. I have attempted to remove images that do not need conversion but my edit is always reverted. Why? It is wrong? --151.71.42.64 (talk) 18:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

labels not showing in preview

Hi,

Wondering if there's anything wrong with File:Kaktovik digit table.svg, or if it's just me. (I've checked on two browsers.) The SVG has labels for all 20 digits, but the previews only show the labels for 0 to 9, with 10 to 19 being blank.

Done @Kwamikagami: Seems to be an rsvg bug in which text with multiple x values are ignored. I've kept only the first value, and also moved the last line down for more whitespace. Please mark as resolved if it's fine now. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 07:04, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. Thanks! — kwami (talk) 08:06, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all. Would appreciate if someone can help to clear the requests on commons. Thanks :) --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 09:08, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPP flowchart.svg is just a raster in SVG format.

I was looking at NPP flowchart.svg and noticed that when I zoomed in it was pixelated like a raster image. Should I add the Template:Should be SVG template?

I am interested in trying to convert it to a proper vector SVG but I might need some help. CoderThomasB (talk) 07:57, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the necessary maintenance template. Also this request should probably be put on the project page instead of the talk page. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 13:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Outline drawing wanted for article - how do I request it?

I think the Wikipedia page on plastic bullets would be improved by a line illustration showing the shape and dimensions of plastic bullets used by Israeli riot control forces, illustrated in figure one of this academic paper and described on page 381 (The plastic bullet (Fig. 1) is a 5.62 mm missile, 1.5 cm long):

https://www.jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223(19)35042-1/pdf

I can't do the job myself. Assuming that such a drawing can be prepared based on that source without falling foul of any restrictions, where and how should I ask for someone's assistance?

@Michael F 1967: Go directly to Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop and click on "New Request". Best wishes. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I've clicked on "New Request" and unfortunately I need to ask for more help.

I don't understand how to fill in the request. I'd appreciate some advice on the following (apologies for the formatting - this is the best I could do by way of displaying the wikipedia markup):

{{subst:void|↑↑↑ !!! Don't forget to add a headline to your request !!! ↑↑↑}}

{{GLNF|Non-free image.ext|Description of the image}}

1) The advice: "Don't forget to add a headline to your request" - what is meant by "a headline"? And where do I enter it? In the Subject box?

2) What am I supposed to put in this bit: GLNF|Non-free image.ext|Description of the image

- I don't have a link to the original image file, only a link to the PDF containing the original image.
