Please could someone create an SVG version of the current Swiss Guard flag?

Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize two proposed flags of Macau? In the Macau Museum, there is an exhibit of flag designs that were purposed for the city for Macau in 1993 for use starting in 1999 when Macau was handed over from Portugal to China. The website Flags Of The World (FOTW) shows the flags featured in the exhibit and there were 15 in total. You can see the flags on FOTW by clicking on the link here https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mo!.html. 13 of those flags are now vectorized and are on the articles listed above. That means that there are only two flags left which are the flags listed on FOTW as Proposal No. 2 https://www.fotw.info/images/m/mo!2.gif and Proposal No. 14 https://www.fotw.info/images/m/mo!14.gif.

Hi

Could you made a variant flag of Syria with these colors? Regards.

Discussion
Details of your request go here... -- Panam2014 (talk) 01:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
For now I don't see the point in changing colours. It is not uncommon that different sellers of flags use different colours. I've looked at a whole series of photos of new Syrian flags. They show different shades of gray/black and lighter/darker green, because of the (see through or not) materials used and the amount of sun that falls on the flag. Yes there are photos with a seemingly lighter green version, but there are darker green versions too. These designs seem to all refer to the usual colours of earlier versions of the Flag of Syria. However, if you have an official source stating that particular different green should be used in the new flag, we would of course change it accordingly. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 11:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Template:Ping there are no official colors and proportions for Syrian flag, especially during these period. So it is good to have variants of it here (like we have variants of the previous flag). Panam2014 (talk) 12:11, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Don't get me wrong, I understand your excitement about the changes in Syria. I hope with all my heart that they finally get a long time of peace and prosperity. Again, we don't need a picture of all colour differences due to material use, glossy, mat, fluffy, faded due to the sun, etcetera. It's really overkill if we'd have to make colour variants for all flags of the world. Flag of Syria shows that the used colour palette is actually pretty persistent. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 12:23, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
I understand. But for others countries, generally, colors and proportions are fixed by law. light green version is used since years. Panam2014 (talk) 12:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Again, you show me a picture of a faded flag: light green - pink - gray. Colours do fade, whether it is by weathering or by technical lighting causes while taking a photo. To me it would feel disrespectful to the people, if I'd draw such a faded flag. A new flag would be green - red - black. I've already discussed the range of colours, and why it doesn't make sense to repeat ourselves. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Decrapify (vectorize?) this

Equivalent radius
Request
Decrapify (vectorize?) this. What is important is that both figures have the same areas, the exact dimension don't matter so much (and could be left out).

Radius is calculated with R=Areaπ. Diameter is twice the radius.

Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

@Headbomb I'm thinking of taking this but I made some tests and I don't understand which radius it should be in the area figure. It's not the width or the hight so which? If I take the radius from the circle it doesn't fir anywhere in the area, so please explain?
I think this is a very important part of understanding this and should be shown in the illustration. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Template:Ping What's important is that the blob and the circle have the same area. What I did was make a blob, find how many pixels it covered (64749). I then made a circle with the same number of pixels (roughly). The way I did it was to calculate the diameter (64749π=287.13...), so I made a circle with of diameter 287 pixels. I did that in paint, and saved in it .png form.
I'm looking for the essentially same thing, but cleaned up/vectorized. The shape of the blob doesn't really matter, so long as the blob and circle have the same area (it doesn't have to be exact exact, but to a reasonable accuracy. My above example has 64749 pixels (blob) vs ~64692 pixels (circle), which is about 0.1% off). See alt picture I just uploaded. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I think you will find this useful - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50050279/get-the-value-of-the-area-deduced-from-the-path-info-of-a-svg - once you calculate the area of a random SVG shape (convex polygon though) - you could back-calculate the circle radius.

An interactive SVG? User:Cmglee Shyamal (talk) 14:05, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I can't see how to make it interactive with pure CSS/SMIL. This is beyond what SVG can do without JavaScript:
  1. The user can sketch a closed shape.
  2. It is rasterised into a small squares.
  3. Each square is moved to a blank part of the canvas as a disc spiraling out from its centre, leaving the outline of the user's shape.
  4. When all squares are moved, a best-fit circle is drawn around the ragged disc.
  5. The area-equivalent radius is drawn, labelled and moved next to the user's shape outline.

Draft equivalent-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Template:Ping A few remarks
  • a) Area=108042px2 should be spaced as Area = 108042 px2, same for Radius=...
  • b) pixels don't square
  • c) a grayscale image is probably better than blues and oranges
  • d) The decimal should be a . not a ,
  • e) a one or two decimal precision is fine (185.45 px or 185.4 px) [the exact radius value for 108042 pixel area is 185.44766...]
  • f) diameter (370.90 px or 370.9 px ) should also be indicated on the circle

Why don't you like color, is it not "scientific", to me it's clearer to look at, personal feeling.
--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Colour costs more when printed, and I find orange / blue is a particular strange combination for illustrations. It usually looks bad when printed in greyscale.
The greyscale version looks good. Only thing I'd change is put spaces around the = signs, and use a full line for diameter, and dashed line for radius. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 15:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:23, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
3rd draft looks fine. For filename, "Area-equivalent radius and diameter" is probably fine. You can take the other stuff from the existing file. A more general "The area-equivalent radius (or diameter) of a 2D object is the radius (or diameter) of a circle with the same area as the object" probably works for description. I put it in the geometry category. No idea what structured data would be relevant. Circle, radius, diameter? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about that. It's possible to "lose mass" as a star's gravity weakens and the gas escapes as well. "Loosen mass" doesn't sound like a correct phrase. A preliminary web search seems to back that up. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 17:58, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Modified version of an SVG diagram

Template:Tl Thanks. The modified image is now in use at Determinant. JonH (talk) 15:38, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Determinant
Request
Please create a modified version of "Area parallellogram as determinant.svg" with changes to two of the labels: from "(a, b)" to "(a, c)" and from "(c, d)" to "(b, d)". These are small changes, but I do not know how to make them.
The reason for changing the letters was discussed at Talk:Determinant/Archive_3#Using_column_vectors_to_represent_points and, although that has been archived, I still intend to make a straightforward change to the text of the article and need a modified diagram.
The modified diagram needs a new name because the diagram is used in 35 wikis in different languages, and the editors of those wikis would need to make corresponding changes to their text before they could use the new diagram. Note that the correct spelling is "parallelogram". -- JonH (talk) 13:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Snow Lion! Template:I take

I've completed and uploaded the SVG version of the flag. However, I usually upload my own or licensed graphics to Commons, and I was unsure about how to properly claim fair use under copyright law for a UK flag. Can someone please complete that portion of the file description page? Thanks. —RCraig09 (talk) 07:21, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Template:Ping Thank you, it looks great! And yes, I'll see if I can add a relevant CR tag to it, based on other files representing town and village flags from throughout the U.K. Thanks again! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:26, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Fantastico. Your attempt to upload to Commons was reverted for copyright reasons. After some research, I added the "Template:Non-free symbol" and fair use rationales for the two existing uses. I couldn't find a template specific for flags. All is well, now, methinks. —RCraig09 (talk) 17:16, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

I've just converted the original PDF to a PNG that has more pixels. I also increased sharpness a bit, and brightened a little. As it's an original artwork, I didn't want to make large changes. Please let me know if this change is acceptable. —RCraig09 (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Separately: PNG files are larger in bytes than JPG files. If an original PDF photograph is not very clear to begin with, it's usually best to upload JPG. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:09, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Flag of the Civil Freedom of Argentina - corrections

Article(s)
Flag of the Civil Freedom of Argentina, all articles these already appear on.
Request
Could somebody please modify the above files representing this flag? This is a detailed design of the coat of arms which should look like this . I know that what I propose looks crooked and worse than the current ones, but these are representations of a specific fabric from 1813, which is actually crooked [12]. All current reproductions in use are crooked [13][14][15][16], this is the official version [17] [18]. It is a flag of historical importance to Argentina and at the same time the official flag of one of their provinces. This flag has two versions in the proportions of 8:5 like the original and an officially existing modified version in 5:8. We currently have 3 files should also have a new coat of arms, the first representing the Jujuly flag must have an 8:5 aspect ratio, the next two representing two versions of the flag used in the commemoration. The second file should be identical to the first and we don't really need a copy, but it has already been uploaded and therefore should also be fixed. I have provided a graphic that accurately reflects the original coat of arms, but it needs to be vectorized. I also ask for the coat of arms without the white background, sent under the name "Coat of Arms Assembly of the Year XIII (Civil Freedom flag version).svg" Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Discussion
There is no need for a better version to be replaced with a worse version. All coat of arms provide a certain degree of artistic freedom to their illustrators. The current version has the same exact elements as the one you referenced. These files do not need improvements. If you really really really want a vector version of this coat of arms it should be uploaded as a different variant.Feitidede ☆゚.* 14:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Template:Ping In this case, there is one official version of the annex to the act, which exactly reflects the drawing kept in the museum [19]. Other versions are not used in practice, except for Wikipedia. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
This rendering might not be used in practice, but they are not a wrong way of rendering the coat of arms. In my opinion It would make more sense if real world versions of the flag would start using the better quality version. Feitidede ☆゚.* 01:55, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Template:Ping Definitely not in this case, Wikipedia is there to show how it is, not how it should be. What you propose can be done for towns and communes where the coats of arms are traditional and dozens of versions have been created or there is an imprecise description and there is no official graphic. This flag exists at too high a level, Argentines have been using it for 10 years, and those from Jujuy for 30, and they are not willing to embellish the design. This is because the coat of arms on the flag is one of the oldest preserved drawings of their national coat of arms and changing it misses the point. Any flag other than the official one, reproducing a specific artifact is simply a strange version of the Argentine coat of arms on a white background.Swiãtopôłk (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Flag and coat of arms of Mníšek

Mníšek
Request
Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize the flag of the Czech town of Mníšek? The flag has a pattern of four parts bisected in a Nordic Cross manner though without an actual cross. On the top line, a white square on the left and a green rectangle on the right. On the bottom line, a red square on the left and a red white rectangle on the right. In the white square at the top is the emblem from Mníšek's coat of arms containing a yew leaf surrounded by rosary beads. In addition, there is a visual pun in the design, (what is known as "canting arms" in heraldry) where some of the beads in the rosary are replaced with actual roses. The black outline on the flag file posted is not actually part of the flag. I have included several other files that use similar design elements to use as bases so the request can be done more quickly). I'll be grateful to see it done.
