File:Half-age-plus-seven-relationship-rule.svg

The grid is already created through a series of XLINKs, which is rather compact coding. The original file (before text was converted into paths) was 5kb in filesize, but I couldn't upload that version due to vagaries and inconsistencies in RSVG font rendering (see file upload history of File:Simple inverse relationship chart.svg) and lost it in a hard disk crash about 7 years back.
Unfortunately, your "optimization" of the SVG consists of glomming all the text paths together into one huge path, using relative coordinates, and throwing away all positioning information beyond the first decimal digit of accuracy. I really do not find these changes to be any kind of desirable or useful "optimization"... AnonMoos (talk) 18:17, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

There's a file-specific discussion area at File_talk:Half-age-plus-seven-relationship-rule.svg, but such pages are often not used when only two users are involved in a discussion. I've never used patterns in any of the SVG files that I've created from scratch, and they're often a pain when debugging files created by Inkscape etc. I don't think they would give any great advantage in this file. It's true that some earlier versions of Inkscape generated spurious extra decimal digits of useless precision, but File:Half-age-plus-seven-relationship-rule.svg was not generated by Inkscape, and doesn't have that problem. If you have a radical new extreme philosophy of SVG design, then on the whole I would prefer that you test it out on your own files. AnonMoos (talk) 03:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

P.S. On File:Gor-map-simplified.svg (whose text was generated in much the same way), I compressed the file almost %50 by using repeated references, without radically changing the representation... AnonMoos (talk) 04:07, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

116th Congress Senate Map update

Greetings Crazytonyi If you could modify the Senate map to properly display Florida and Mississippi now that both elections have been called. If it is not updated I have a map ready to add. I would like you to make the changes since you created the map. If you could do that as soon as possible that would be appreciated.Wollers14 (talk) 15:17, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey Wollers14, Thanks for the heads up. I have uploaded the newest version, but just to be clear, updates should be done using the most recent version and making the adjustments to that file. That way, only the state's class tags need to be updated with the relevant party or party-split, without changing any of the underlying map content or style rules. As long as that is how the map is updated in the future (and for the 117th senate map, etc), I don't have any problem with someone other than me doing the actual updating. Thanks! --Crazytonyi (talk) 00:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you I'll have to learn how to do that. I used a color tool to color the grey pixels but was unsure about uploading the map with those modifications made but I could not override the file but the map is now complete so there is no more concerns with it. Thank you for updating it.Wollers14 (talk) 07:28, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

ClipPath Issue, Mills County, Texas

Hi, I do a lot of work on the Mills County, Texas, article, and I recently noticed that the sag map of Texas showing Mills is no longer displaying properly. Are you able to help with this?

Thank you!! Sillyputty1967 (talk) 22:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I would revert to the previous one, if I was the last to modify. Crazytonyi (talk) 23:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for the speedy response. There is only one version. How did you fix the ClipPath issue on the Travis County, Texas, article? Sillyputty1967 (talk) 22:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

oh those County maps have been something that has bothered me for ages, because the wikipedia PNG renderer would handle them okay, but the actual SVG viewer (such as Chrome) would not show the state outline. These were all submitted by the same user (not me) 10+ years ago using the same technique for all counties in all states. It looks like the PNG renderer no longer is tolerant of them, so we're seeing them break all over the place.

Anyways, I finally tracked down the issue. If you look at another one that is messed up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Texas_highlighting_Harris_County.svg

Compared to the one for Travis County:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Texas_highlighting_Travis_County.svg

You will notice that the clip path has a `g` element inside of it, and this has several `path` elements. `g` elements are not legal elements for inside of `clipPath` elements. This is presumably done so that the

```

clip-path="url(#state_clip_path)"

```

in the actual SVG can reference the ID of the `clipPath` element while then allowing for reusing the contents of the `g` right below:

```

use xlink:href="#state_outline" fill="white" stroke-width="873"

```

by referencing the `state_outline` ID of the `g` element.

So for the Travis County SVG, I transformed the multiple paths into one large path, and put the `state_outline` ID on that path (instead of on an illegal `g` wrapper element).

I had wanted to fix them for all of them, but its exhausting merging multiple path elements into one. Glad you noticed it was working and asked! Crazytonyi (talk) 22:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

To be clear: I had suggested you revert to the previous version of the file because I thought you maybe encountered one that I had fixed using the above process and it was somehow still broken (or broken worse), and it would be easier to revert to the old funky way than for me to troubleshoot why the changes I made weren't working. But if they are working, the above is what I did. Crazytonyi (talk) 22:50, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Wow, so I'm sort of understanding what's going on. I have arrived at a possible solution with less work. I opened the original svg file in Affinity Designer 2 and output a new svg file that renders correctly. Yet I'm having trouble uploading the file since I didn't create the original one. Are you able to help? Sillyputty1967 (talk) 22:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I didn't create the original one either, and I'm not familiar with Affinity. I'm pretty dorky and prefer to do as much as possible for SVGs with a text editor.

But if it works, then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to add an edited update of the file.

I like to use the SVGOMG site to clean up SVG source when I'm ready to upload. Crazytonyi (talk) 23:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Unless you're saying I did create the original. What's the link? Crazytonyi (talk) 23:35, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

File:Map of Texas highlighting Mills County.svg

I was trying to replace it, but I'm not allowed because I didn't create the original. Obviously I don't know what I'm doing! Thanks for the SVGOMG reference. I ran my file through the service. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 00:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Are you using the "Upload a new version of this file" link? Crazytonyi (talk) 01:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes and here is the error I'm getting:

File overwriting not allowed

You attempted to overwrite a file that was not initially uploaded by you. You currently do not have sufficient permissions to do this.

If overwriting the existing file is not necessary, please upload the new version as a new file under a new name. In doing so, please be sure to upload with appropriate attribution, and to adhere to any licensing conditions that may be relevant.

If your overwriting of this file would comply with our guidelines for overwriting existing files, you can request an exception for this particular file.

If you did not try do overwrite a file uploaded by someone else, please report an error here. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 12:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you got it updated, and someone else came along and updated yours. So I guess all is well. Crazytonyi (talk) 17:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
