Filtration

Hi David, I though of you when looking at Filtration, which is a huge level 4 vital topic with very little of its scope covered. If you feel inclined, take a look and maybe add a bit of structure, some links, or examples, maybe even some content relevant to chemical engineering. I think the article will grow faster if there is more structure suggesting what can usefully be added. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 09:01, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the note, Peter. That's going straight onto my to-do list! --Slashme (talk) 07:41, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

parliament diagrams

How can I put the Speaker or the Presiding Officer in the Arch-style diagram at the Parliament diagram tool? Greetings --Dragonlord73 (talk) 10:31, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dragonlord73, that feature has been requested, but not yet implemented. At the moment, the best way to do this would be to edit the diagram with Inkscape after making it with the diagram layout tool. --Slashme (talk) 03:43, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Parliament Diagrams

In the Arch-style diagram at the Parliament diagram tool, please:

(a) try to also give an option to segregate the government seats on one side and the opposition seats on the other side (by this, I meant half of the seats on one side and the other half on the other side), just like this:

(b) add a deputy presiding officer above the dot for the presiding officer

Thank you very much!

I wonder whether the Westminster style diagram isn't a better solution for what you're trying to do. That diagram can separate government from opposition, even when they're different sizes, and it allows as many "presiding officer" / "speaker" spots as you want. --Slashme (talk) 06:21, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Requested Changes to Arch-style diagrams

Please can you try to add a feature to make symmetrical all arch style parliament diagrams, just like and ?
Also, if possible please do make provision of a horse-shoe type diagram, along with the presiding officer.

Thanks! —— User:Anish M. Nagpal 14:01, 05 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Anish M. Nagpal, I'm not sure I understand the request. Can you give me an example of an asymmetrical diagram? --Slashme (talk) 10:58, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Good morning!
By symmetrical, I meant that when one draws a vertical line such that the image gets split into two haves (i.e., left half and right half), the number of seats are same on both halves. For example, as seen in the first diagram, 24 seats can be halfed into 12 and 12 exactly. Similarly, if the second diagram is equally split, 19 seats lie on one side and nineteen on the other.
The sole reason why I was asking for symmetrical diagrams is because it is more convinient to notice the halfway mark that should be crossed to obtain a majority. An example of this problem: Once in the Indian state of Karnataka, its legislative upper house (of 75 members) had reached a situation, where the majority and minority caucuses had equal seats (37-37), due to which the chairman (also a member) had to, for two whole years, go on breaking ties. In such a situation, it is difficult to make out that both have same number of seats (if chart is not in symmetry). Hence, I requested symmetry.
Please also add a spot for the speaker.
Please can you have these put in the Arch style?
Here are some asymmetrical diagrams and .
Thank you very much! —— User:Anish M. Nagpal 11:21, 07 June 2021 (UTC)

@User:Anish M. Nagpal: OK, now I understand! The option to put a speaker spot in the diagram has already been requested, so you can follow the progress there. By a symmetrical diagram, I see you mean one where each row has an even number of spots. This is possible for diagrams with an even number of representatives, and for odd numbers, there would be two possible ways to make it work. I've created a task on GitHub to remind myself to do it. I've just moved to a new city and started a new job, so I won't have time to work on this project in the next few weeks, though. --Slashme (talk) 18:27, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Good morning and thank you very much! I understand that you are a bit busy, so please take your own time!
I think option 2 and the outermost row would be better for the extra spot: https://github.com/slashme/parliamentdiagram/issues/102 (because in most legislatures,a party gets a seat in the innermost row depending on how many seats it has in the middle and outermost rows).
Thanks once again! — User:Anish M. Nagpal 10:29, 09 June 2021 (UTC)
