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]

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.

• Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing in basically all the states. Was there a change to the SVG to PNG interpreter rolled out recently? VanIsaac (en.wiki) 04:29, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, but that is not the problem. The SVG source does not validate and does not work on modern browsers. Glrx (talk) 04:38, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

I've created a diagram in diagrams.net (a.k.a. draw.io) and exported it as an SVG. However, MediaWiki rejects the file due to http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml being an "illegal namespace." It is my understanding that this is due to phab:T62771. I tried to remove the namespace declarations from the SVG file, but this completely breaks the image.

Is there a tool or script that can convert .drawio files to SVG without the disallowed namespaces? Ixfd64 (talk) 23:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I posted about this issue earlier this year, and the solution at the time was to select "Convert labels to SVG" under Text Settings. However, the Text Settings option seems to have been removed. One of the maintainers said it has been replaced by the "Embed Fonts" option, but the SVG file now contains the blocked namespace whether or not "Embed Fonts" has been checked.
