Stripe pattern needed for map

- Costa Rica needs to be striped in light green and red, as they are signatories to both the Vienna Convention and the Central American Convention, similar to how some countries are striped in multiple colours on File:Same-sex marriage map Europe detailed.svg. I can't figure out how to do the pattern so I need someone else to kindly do it for me. Fry1989 eh? 20:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

- I'm one of those who have added diagonal stripes to File:Same-sex marriage map Europe detailed.svg - such as at 22:40, 2 December 2013 when I added red diagonal stripes to Croatia and Hungary. Let's consider only the case of Hungary. The previous version of the image had Hungary coloured blue - specifically,
#0066FF
. There are two things to do: define the pattern, and use it. The pattern is defined near the top:This is used in the shape for Hungary by locating the<pattern id="stripes_rb" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="8" height="8" patternTransform="rotate(-45)"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="8" height="8" fill="#D40000" stroke="none" /> <rect x="0" y="2" width="8" height="4" fill="#0066FF" stroke="none" /> </pattern>
<path />
element that draws Hungary (it's the one with theid="hu"
attribute), and altering itsfill="#0066FF"
attribute tofill="url(#stripes_rb)"
. That's all - it's really that simple. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)- I only use Inkscape so I'm still a tad confused. I know there's another app for doing this where you edit it by text (I even played around with it ages ago) but the name of it is escaping me. Can you tell me what app it is? Fry1989 eh? 23:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't use an "app" for this. I use a plain text editor (specifically WordPad) and I make sure that when I save, I select the file type "Text Document - MS-DOS Format" and not "Unicode Text Document" or "Rich Text Format". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- I think that's the one. I'll give it a try. Fry1989 eh? 18:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oh it was NotePad++, but that should be essentially similar to WordPad. Since my map has been done in Inkscape for years I know the text would be all garbled, so I downloaded File:BlankMap-World6, compact.svg which was designed to be edited by text. But I'm still really confused as to how to change the colours of individual countries. Fry1989 eh? 18:51, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
- First define the pattern, and put it inside the
<defs>...</defs>
structure - towards the end is probably best. So the present code that looks like this:will becomeinkscape:collect="always" /> </defs>
The twoinkscape:collect="always" /> <pattern id="stripes_rlg" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="4" height="4" patternTransform="rotate(-45)"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="4" height="4" fill="#ff2a2a" stroke="none" /> <rect x="0" y="1" width="4" height="2" fill="#00c864" stroke="none" /> </pattern> </defs>
fill=
attributes define the colours of the stripes, and . The only other change is to the code that draws the shape for Costa Rica. Fortunately, this map has been written in such a way that each country shape has anid=
attribute which identifies the country, using the two-letter ISO 3166 country code (lowercased). So if you know the country code, you can search for that as the value of anid=
attribute. Costa Rica's code is CR, so we're looking for an element havingid="cr"
. Here it is:I've omitted most of the value of the<path inkscape:connector-curvature="0" class="landxx cr" d="m 208.73811,505.38895 ..." id="cr" style="fill:#00c864;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#ffffff;stroke-width:0.2;stroke-miterlimit:3.9922328;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1" />
d=
attribute, this is the path data. This<path />
element uses astyle=
attribute to set colours etc. In that there is the declarationfill:#00c864
we need to alter this tofill:url(#stripes_rlg)
which produces:However, Costa Rica is a comapratively small country, so the stripes may not be clearly visible. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:38, 26 April 2018 (UTC)<path inkscape:connector-curvature="0" class="landxx cr" d="m 208.73811,505.38895 ..." id="cr" style="fill:url(#stripes_rlg);fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#ffffff;stroke-width:0.2;stroke-miterlimit:3.9922328;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1" />

Typeface reconstruction
-
like this example
-
Arkansas-similar in height:width ratio to Erbar Light Condensed; Hill House typeface has a very similar curled 2
-
Cuba-finial ends of characters are beveled instead of serifed
-
all letters were used, note Cubans repainted their old plates so some letters do not clearly show underlying bevel
-
North Carolina-variable thicknesses, similar to Goudy's Lining Gothic design of 1921-changing direction-North Carolina changed stamping typefaces every 3-4 years, better to illustrate that
-

Fijian Civil Ensign, 1871-1874

The civil ensign of Fiji, 1871–1874.

- List of Fijian flags
- Request
- Could someone please create an SVG file of the Fijian merchant flag adopted in 1871 and used presumably until 1874, which would have been similar to the national flag at the time (shown above), but without the crown, and with the shield more centralised as a result. The information on both flags can be read on this page: http://www.hubert-herald.nl/Fiji.htm#_ednref5, which describes both the national flag and civil ensign separately, the former with a crown and the latter without it.
