[edit] Image notes
- The geometric specifications for the union jack and the sizes and positioning of the stars are given in an attachment to Executive Order 10834 of 21 August 1959, printed in 3 CFR, 1959–1963 Comp., p. 368.
- The current size of the image (version as of 04:42, 5 April 2007), 1235 × 650 pixels, represents an aspect ratio of 1.9:1.0. (These dimensions were chosen to allow as much as possible of the geometric manipulations to be performed using integer quantities without the need for scaling.)
