[edit] Quick links for me

[edit] Personal Favourites

A few of the things that have taken me the most effort and/or that I am proud of:

3D Quantum Wavefunctions (1 of 9)

Circular Polarisation

Fourier Series of a Sawtooth Wave

Klein Bottle Folding (1 of 6)

A DIL-16 IC made in SolidEdge (using about 0.01% of it's capabilities)

A Dual Type A USB Receptacle

2D Quantum Wavefunctions (2,1)

Real spherical harmonic (l=4, m=2) (1 of 15)

Diffraction Through a Slit

[edit] Gallery

See also my gallery for more work.

[edit] Fonts

If possible I use DejaVu Serif for my newer diagrams, as it is supported by the mediawiki renderer, unlike many others, and it is a free font (in all senses). Also it looks good with "Computer Modern" which is what is used by LaTeX and the Inkscape equation setter.

To get the the Computer Modern fonts, look here for the OTF fonts.

[edit] Tools I Use

I have student/academic licences for the following:

  • Mathematica 5.1 (anyone want to give me £80 for 6?)
  • SolidEdge 14

Freeware I use:

  • Inkscape - highly recommended to everyone

Occasionally I have access to Adobe CS2 and MuPAD, which is why stuff produced using that comes in waves. Once Inkscape supports PDF, though...

[edit] Requests

I will usually be more than happy to attempt to plot graphs and the like for you if you ask me nicely. Things that can be done are below. Most things can be given in SVG, or PNG or animated GIF is appropriate.

[edit] Graphs and Plots

  • Basic 2D Line Plots
  • Scatter Plots
  • 3D line plots (eg Parametrics)
  • 3D Surfaces
  • Density and Contour Plots

[edit] Technical Diagrams

  • Circuit Diagrams of most sorts
  • See my gallery for the kind of thing you might get

If you can suggest improvements to my own work, tell me, don't let any of my sub-optimal work hang around.

Also, I will be happy to transcribe (interesting) equations into TeX - I've had a LOT of practice at this!

I have an academic licence of SolidEdge v14, so if you need 3D drawing, they can be generated (and in SVG!) Colour, wireframe, technical drawings, etc - all possible! They look awesome, so if you have an interesting proposal, tell me - I'd probably enjoy making it!

[edit] Involvements

Things I have, am or will shortly be contributing to

[edit] Commons

Generally improvements and replacements when I can, especially diagrams relating to electronic engineering.

Recategorisation is a current personal project. As well as moving hundreds of miscategorised images from various places, so far I have difffused or am diffusing the following major categories:

[edit] Wikibooks

I like writing textbooks - it's much more rewarding than just an encyclopaedic article. The whole concept explained form start to finish, with as many illustrations as needed, obviously.

  • Practical Electronics
  • Differential Equations
  • Matrials in Electronics
  • Semiconductors
  • Circuit Theory

[edit] Wikisource

  • 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica project - not recently though - I'm usually working on something closer to today, like electronics.

[edit] Wikipedia

General improvements, nothing special.
