SVG conversion[edit]

I could if I would, but I don't know how to do the "partial transparency" effect with SVG... AnonMoos 15:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You set the alpha channel to a suitable value. // Liftarn
I'm sure that this makes sense in the particular graphics editor program you use to generate SVG files, but "alpha" does not appear to be an SVG concept (no entry for it in the index to the SVG 1.1 standard), and it doesn't really do anything concrete to help me transform the PostScript code listed on the image page into functionally-equivalent SVG code.

It seems to be in the 1.2 standard. // Liftarn
SVG 1.2 is a draft, not a standard, and I'm skeptical as to the degree of Wikimedia support for it. However, after having looked at the SVG docs again, there does seem to be a standard SVG "fill-opacity" style attribute which could be used to achieve the partial-transparency effect. However, this technicque would be completely different in nature from technique I use in the original PostScript code, so it would not be a simple mechanical code conversion.

I made an SVG file using the "fill-opacity" method, and I don't like it. The colors are no doubt more mathematically correct, but they're uglier, in my opinion, and there's no easy way to adjust them using the "fill-opacity" method... AnonMoos 07:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Finally figured out how to make an SVG with good-looking "partial transparency" effect, and uploaded same. None of the discussions here helped in the slightest degree in achieving that goal. AnonMoos 12:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
