<div dir="ltr"><div>Indeed, that is bad. Differently from most people, I did read the guidelines to artists pages in the old site, years ago, before submitting anything (I was, I mean, am a newbie and didn't want to do it wrong). And it used to be forbidden, in the site's Wiki and from what I understood from discussions in the mail list, to use ANYTHING non-vector in a contribution, regardless of what is or isn't in the SVG specification. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was about <a href="http://openclipart.org">openclipart.org</a> not becoming yet another site that stockpiles raster files, which aren't as well scalable nor can be edited as well as SVG, etc. etc. as everyone here should know by now. I mean, if one wants to use elements of one of those cliparts terradeimos identified, one can't without some ugly kludges. And the result will definitely be suboptimal by some criteria. Did that policy change and I missed it? The Wiki seems to be gone (the link <a href="http://openclipart.org/wiki/Guidelines">http://openclipart.org/wiki/Guidelines</a> at the Participate section redirects to a blank page at <a href="http://openclipart.org/Guidelines">http://openclipart.org/Guidelines</a>), and the available FAQ (and other) pages do not say anything either way, at least that I could find in my quick perusal. Is it OK now to post raster, then? To basically paste a photo in Inkscape and save as SVG? </div><div>Cheers </div><div>J </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 2, 2013 at 8:12 AM, tdeimos <<a href="mailto:terradeimos@aol.com" target="_blank">terradeimos@aol.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Sorry, you got it all wrong. I know that it would be valid SVG file if you embed or link raster images. Mixing vector art and raster images in a SVG file is perfectly fine. My complaint was about SVG files posted on OCAL that contains no vector graphics but only embedded or linked raster images. Note that they might still be valid in W3C standards but ,in my opinion, they are not proper SVG files to post on OCAL. -----Original Message----- From: S.Kemter <<a href="mailto:sirko.kemter@gmail.com" target="_blank">sirko.kemter@gmail.com</a>> To: tdeimos <<a href="mailto:terradeimos@aol.com" target="_blank">terradeimos@aol.com</a>> Sent: Fri, Feb 1, 2013 12:59 pm Subject: Re: [Clipart] Image only SVG files Guy, come down and who you think you are? Just read the SVG specs on W3C you will see that its still an SVG if it contains a raster graphic. Some of them wouldnt be visible if you hadnt collect them. Next thing stay away from writing others messages with such subjects. So I tell you here FUCK OFF br gnokii 2013/2/1 tdeimos <<a href="mailto:terradeimos@aol.com" target="_blank">terradeimos@aol.com</a>> Some of the uploaders think that using the SVG extension is enough for a proper file. So they keep uploading SVG files without any vector graphics.
