Excel .xlsx spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for .SVG graphics

General concept above; examples below.
Warming stripes
(five examples compared)
Warming stripes bar chart
Bar chart (vertical)
Pie chart
Line charts
Scatterplot

I've uploaded .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.

You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheet instantly and automatically generates a column of XML code that you simply copy and paste into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, avoiding the "extra stuff" that Inkscape inserts. They should save you time in creating SVG charts.

Feedback and suggestions on my talk page are welcome. RCraig09 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Click HOW TO for detailed explanation.
Click HERE (else HERE) to download the spreadsheets.
  1. Warming stripes — Accepts a single dataset and converts to SVG code portraying Ed Hawkins' warming stripes graphics. User chooses vertical or horizontal stripes; normal or reverse data ordering; or from a variety of geometric shapes (updated 17 May 2023). . . . . Click here to see examples of warming stripes embedded in different shapes.
  2. Warming stripes bar chart — Accepts a single dataset and creates a conventional bar chart whose individual bars/columns are coloured according to Dr. Hawkins' warming stripes colour scheme. Alternate option: choose one colour for ascending bars and another colour for descending bars. (updated 28 August 2023)
  3. Line charts — Accepts up to six datasets. (updated 30 August 2023)
  4. Vertical bar charts (column charts) — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the Y level (usually=0) from which columns rise or fall; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
  5. Horizontal bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the value (usually=0) from which bars extend; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
  6. Scatter plots — Accepts up to five datasets. (updated 28 August 2023)
  7. Pie charts — Accepts a single dataset of up to 36 items. (updated 17 May 2023)
  8. Variable-width bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets; is like "Vertical bar charts", above, but user can choose different widths for different bars. (updated 27 August 2023)
Transcluded from User:RCraig09/Warming stripes in shapes
An Excel .xlsx spreadsheet automatically+ generated the XML code for the following SVG images:
  • The spreadsheet user can toggle a switch to reverse the order of data, so red is in the center (or left side of first graphic) and blue is at the outside (or right side of first graphic).
  • The spreadsheet user can choose height and width (in pixels), to compress or expand shape vertically and horizontally, for example, to change an ellipse to a circle or a rectangle to a square.
  • To download the spreadsheet, go to User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG.
  • Don't try to edit inside this colored box; make any comments about the spreadsheets or graphics at User talk:RCraig09RCraig09 (talk) 20:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, RCraig09!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Hi.. I took the DW-Normandie photo that was deleted.. I am there pretty much every year, so I am wondering if you have any advice for how I can retake the picture in a way that does not violate whatever provision of French copyright law I apparently violated.

Thanks.

Zach (binkleyz) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Binkleyz (talk • contribs) 13:21, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Binkleyz, I don't know a way that simply taking a different close-up photograph would comply with French law. The deletion request page refers to "freedom of panorama" but says it doesn't apply to a statue of this young age. You could ask others at the copyright page at the Village Pump, though I doubt the answer will change. Sorry!

Hey! Take some cookies for making svg version of CoA at my request. Thank you! janbery (talk) 18:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Jan. It was a challenge... especially the lion. The original PNG lion had many weird features! —RCraig09 (talk) 18:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for tagging files as copyright violations! Just a request: please do not replace an incorrect license with a copyvio tag. Simply add the copyvio tag in addition. Replacing the tag makes it more difficult and time consuming for administrators to verify what is going on and who is claiming what. Thanks, Storkk (talk) 12:57, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Roger; wilco. Thanks for the heads up. ——RCraig09 (talk) 15:34, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hi, i forgot  Request taken by ({{I take}}) - sorry
but why do you overwrite my file? with several versions? my version is accurate and smaller than yours - the ration of my version is exact 2:3, as given in request - the template isn't accurate
please go ahead, i wont take other tasks for this request --Mrmw (talk) 05:53, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: I did not see your version until after I created mine, which was after I used the "i take" template. True, there seems to be a 5,778 Kbyte vs 4,788 Kbyte comparison in file size, but I don't think the difference is important. I retained the 10:7 ratio of the source, since I think we owe more duty to the source (10:7) than to a Wikimedia requestor (3:2). I'm not sure what you mean by "template" not being accurate. Thanks for replying. —RCraig09 (talk) 06:10, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
the ration in the website is given: 3:2 (Standard (45 x 30 cm))- the ratio of the flag in this website (picture/template) is not very accurate, your ratio is wrong in my opinion --Mrmw (talk) 09:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I now agree, we should follow the text rather than the image itself, in the source. —RCraig09 (talk) 14:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hannes 24: Thank you for your explanation. Your earlier edits omitted the ]] so that it effectively said NO category!
Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Erklärung. Bei Ihren früheren Änderungen wurde das ]] weggelassen, sodass effektiv KEIN Kategorie angezeigt wird! :-) RCraig09 (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings RCraig! May you please consider making a localised Wikipedia logo for Tumbuka language Wikipedia. Unfortunately we don't have our own logo whilst most local wikis do have. The English words "WIKIPEDIA" in Tumbuka translates "WIKIPEDIYA" and the motto "The Free Encyclopedia" translates "Nkhokwe Yavinjelu Yaulele". .

The Tumbuka Wikipedia is available at (tum.wikipedia.org). Thank you. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 15:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tumbuka Arch: I suggest you place a request at Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop. Many more people will see your request. RCraig09 (talk) 20:22, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
