Raw data of image

Greetings Xanthine! Can you provide me with the raw data you used to create this image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Island-of-Stability.png? Thanks! 81.70.212.33 10:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry, do you mean the actual empirical data used to draw out the graph, or the vector image data? I notice the tag requesting an SVG version, which would be no problem for me to take care of... --Xanthine 10:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, .svgz file created. It's about 10 times the filesize, and took a little adjustment (seeing as SVG doesn't support transparent objects). My apologies - I'm afraid I seem to have, rather embarrassingly, discarded all data files I used in the original creation of this image, though I'm fairly sure I acquired them all though Google. --Xanthine 11:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aha... On attempting to upload this, I've found that Wikipedia doesn't accept .svgz files. The uncompressed .svg file is almost 2 megabytes in size, which seems highly impractical to me. Leaving this as a .png file for now. --Xanthine 11:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The image looks very neat, may I ask how you created it from the data? Too bad you lost the original data, but the graph seems factually accurate. A very fine addition to the article indeed! Thanks for all your troubles :) Albester 22:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
