John Reid 01:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC) It's my pleasure to do so :-) By the way, the illustration of Pi/Unrolled is delightful - I will watch it to relax! My concept is really rather a simple one. Would you take a look at Pi/Unrolled? I'm sure you appreciate that I don't want to invest that level of effort in every diagram (it was probably overkill for that application) but I'll entertain requests of merit. I can do a fair amount, either with detailed illustrations or simple animations. Do you mean to say, Demonstrate constructions on the Cartesian plane? I can do that. I'm not too clear on what you mean by relating constructions to complex arithmetic. What would you draw? Do you want me to re-illustrate The Elements, perhaps dynamically? Just the first few propositions? The postulates and common notions only? Let's do it this way: Name one or, perhaps, three graphics you want to see give me a bit of a lead on what features you want to see in them. I don't have your deep mathematical background and I don't have your insight into what a non-graphics person wants to see. Don't worry about your graphics expertise I have plenty of that. Sometime we do have too many sidewalk superintendents but I'd appreciate some guidance.
However, what wikipedia needs is people who do, not people who say what might be good to do! Elroch 00:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC) I can't quite agree with you. The article would then be a more solid looking introduction. It would be useful to relate these constructions to the complex arithmetic viewpoint, then show (or at least state) that combining these is enough to provide all of the operations required. That would involve explaining the elementary constructions from which all others are derived (a noticeable omission at present) Each of these would ideally be illustrated by a simple diagram. However, I think that, even as an encyclopedia article rather than a book, it would be good to address the basics in a way suitable for someone with no prior knowledge. I'm definitely not an expert on graphics, unlike Jonathan48, as can probably be seen from my rather limited uploads. KSmrq T 18:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC) Constructions It's a good idea to make an image large enough to print cleanly, but it's also good to make it legible - or at least meaningful - at the thumbnail size. One item worth remembering is the default thumbnail size, which is presently 180 pixels wide. KSmrq T 00:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)Īlso helpful is the Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. It also has some useful links to other Wikipedia info.
