Sharp graphics #109

Open mathiasrw opened 9 years ago

mathiasrw commented 9 years ago

I would like to contribute by letting the generated graphics of a paper wallet be super shap )by contructing an SVG image - including QR code)

Does anybody know where / who could have the original background graphics used at this moment?

Here is the original I made PNGs from: https://www.bitaddress.org/art/bitcoin-wallet-01.svg It's about 4MB

Here is a stripped down version that is 1MB: http://www.bitaddress.org/art/bitcoin-note-mike.svg

I think the reason I abandoned the SVG in favor of a PNG had to do with size and audibility. I wanted something that looked like the 4MB version but was small and clean like the 1MB version. Long term I do want to use an SVG so the project is more flexible and also so the printing can be sharp. Also with SVG it might be easier to make multiple colored notes.

Also, I believe there is font-issues to resolve because it uses certain fonts to look nice which ideally would be embedded so it looks the same on all systems.

Thanks for volunteering :-)

Here is the HTML file I was using with the SVG file: http://www.bitaddress.org/art/bitaddress.org-v1.7-SHA1-RC1.html

Once a final clean SVG is ready then it should be embedded instead of loaded as an external file.

What an awesome answer!

I'll look into it and get back when there is something to look at...

update: looks like the 4 MB version contains non-vector graphics that blows up the size (for example the background grid and the formular)

Ill put some minuts into trawling the web for free vector elements to replace the visuals so we can have a 100% vector file...

Awsome! I was looking for a similar thing a time ago.

Status: Found heaps of bitmaps integrated in the 4Mb version - have made an alternative graphic that when exported to SVG is 350 Kb

Problem: parts of the background missing when exporting to svg - so thinking about recreating the whole thing from scratch...

Here is a PDF version of the result for now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5fa9t4akb20ulv/bico.pdf?dl=1
