Great that you uploaded the SVG to go with your image. I don't have the rasterizer so I can't work on it, but can someone check this for me? Seems from the description in the article that the Psi and Chi are reversed in the diagram. Should be Tan Χ = min/Maj and Ψ is angle from Maj to x-axis. Right?? --User:Chinasaur
Also I would add the circle or X at the center to indicate that the Z-axis is coming straight out at us or straight away from us. Otherwise it's confusing whether the figure is supposed to be in 3D. I'll look into the rasterizer and see if I can fix things myself, but help would be appreciated.
- Sorry, my boo-boo. ... I am confused now though. The picture in the entry looks right, but when I click on it to to get to the image page, it looks wrong. No amount of reloading seems to fix it... wierd. Also it's great that wikisophia now supports SVG, but I don't like having the svg source stored on an external site... I guess it's ok for a while if SVG support gets incorporated into wikipedia soonish. -- Rkundalini 01:27, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Hey, yeah, I'm a little frustrated that my attempt to be helpful is resulting in all this weird behavior. In my experience this usually clears itself up in a few hours though; something about uploading over old images. I think having the source at wikisophia is an improvement because now anyone can reedit it and get rasterized versions, whereas before I couldn't do that without installing batik. Plus, it seems that wikipedia is not accepting uploads of non-image mimetypes (at least I can't get it to lately?), so I couldn't upload the new source here if I wanted to. Anyway, overall it shouldn't make much difference; hopefully WikiTeX will be installed with MediaWiki 1.4 soon and we can just pull the Wiki markup over at that point. --Chinasaur

- Apparently WikiSophia is no longer doing Batik :( --Chinasaur 01:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
