Oppose Far too simple line drawing to be eligible for FP (well made though). Lycaon 05:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment It is indeed fairly simple. The tricky part was finding a copyrighted drawing of this circuit (which is important in the history of computing) in a 25 year old journal. --Gerry Ashton 18:13, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- But even on the well made I have second thoughts after scrutinizing your image: letters are not aligned, nor equally spaced (e.g. +VE and -VE symbols). Lycaon 18:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- The less-than-ideal appearance of the subscripts is an artifact of whatever software Wikimedia uses to display images. They look find in Inkscape. The non-alignment of +VE and -VE is my aesthetic decision; I chose to put them in the center of the horizontal lines they are connected to. (I have made some slight alignment improvements as a result of Lycaon's comments, but they are barely noticeable when using the Wikimedia SVG viewing software.) --Gerry Ashton 19:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- the Wiki SVG renderer is indeed less than perfect!. Lycaon 20:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Question What are the two blobs under not(F.C) which is visible on the thumbnail here and with "Eye of GNOME 2.16.1" on Linux (although not visible in inkscape) and why is the negation bar above F=not(A+B) not evenly over both the A and B characters? --Tony Wills 10:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- The blobs are artifacts of the SVG rendering software used by Wikimedia and so is the unevenness of the negation bar over F=not (A+B). Indeed, an earlier version that accidentally had a negation bar that was too long showed the bar in the thumbnail, but in a large rendering the bar was completely invisible! (Pun intended.) --Gerry Ashton 12:42, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Bar is too short when downloaded and viewed with inkscape (well actually not too short, just starts too soon). Blobs are also visible on downloaded copy when viewed with "Eye of GNOME 2.16.1" so there is something there that two different programs render as blobs. :-) --Tony Wills 02:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
- No blobs in Firefox for Windows XP 2.0.0.6. Bar is a matter of taste, but looks much better than as rendered by Wikimedia software. --Gerry Ashton 01:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
