Cannot upload amended SVG file

[edit]

Hi, I exported a graph from Libre Office Calc. It was not until I had uploaded the file that I noticed the y-axis legend text had failed to be exported.

I was able to edit the SVG, and get the file saved with *.odg extension. I was able to use an online website to convert the file to a SVG file.

Unfortunately, I am now unable to upload the revised file. I can view it okay in Libre Office Draw, but I am getting the following error message:

This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously interpreted by a web browser. See the FAQ for more information.

Please can someone advise how I can overcome this, and get the second version of the svg file uploaded. Thanks in advance. Keith H99 (talk) 20:10, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, this has now worked. Keith H99 (talk) 09:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

export svg in affinity designer without open curves experiencing a contour extension?

[edit]

Hi everyone, I'm still new to wikimedia but I've already searched the forum for my problem and found nothing. The affinity forum and chatgpd don't have any relevant information for me either.

My problem: How do I export an svg in affinity designer without open curves experiencing a contour extension?

I would like to provide material here that can also be edited in every detail.

Many thanks in advance for all answers. FeineFauna (talk) 09:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map of state highlighting a county

[edit]
Map of West Virginia highlighting Fayette County
Something has happened to the Wikimedia Commons state maps highlighting a county. The maps used to show the entire state and its counties, with the highlighted county in red. Now, the map of the state, and all the counties except the highlighted county, is gone. Examples are the maps in the Wikipedia InfoBoxes for Battle of Charleston (1862), Battle of Cove Mountain, and Battle of Fayetteville (1862). There are others. All of these maps used to show the entire state divided by county. The state was white with borders in black. The highlighted county was a solid red. Now, the only thing that appears is the red part. Looking at only the file "Map of West Virginia highlighting Fayette County.svg" in WikiMedia, it says the English version is used in over 40 pages. What happened? Will it be restored?

The SVG is flawed. I get the same display using Chrome.
  1. id="West Virginia" is not a valid XML id attribute.
  2. a clipPath may contain a use, but the use may not reference g element. See SVG clipPath Element which states, "If a use element is a child of a clipPath element, it must directly reference path, text or basic shapes elements. Indirect references are an error and the clipPath element must be ignored."
Furthermore, the id="state_outline" is not stroked. The code is 
<use xlink:href="#state_outline" fill="white" stroke-width="298" />
Although it supplies a stroke-width, it does not supply stroke="black". A use element does not acquire the context of the surrounding g group. It does seem to work, though.
Better practice uses the defs element.
It's also simpler to use CSS.
Quick fix just neuters the clip-path="url(#state_clip_path)" attribute so no clipping is done.
Category:Locator maps of counties of West Virginia is full of problem maps.

Is there anything I can do to fix individual files on my watchlist? The coding discussion is "over my head". TwoScarsUp (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at Category:Locator maps of counties of the United States by state, these states are affected:
  • California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York (1 file), North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
That's 1,000 files.
