Thickness of rows #169

Hello, I recently noticed the rows of the diagrams are thinner. It's noticeable with the recent UK election. The previous diagram made in 2019 here : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Royaume-uni_Chambre_2019.svg?uselang=fr

is quite thicker than the recent one for 2024 here :

Neither "All-rows diagram" and "Compact-rows diagram" make it as it used to be.

Is there a way to have it thick like before? Personnaly I preferred it this way.

Cordially.

This is due to the move to the parliamentarch geometry. The math on which the former version worked was not clear and easy to maintain, so there is no plan for going back. A certain number of parameters are available on that backend that the current website doesn't currently allow to set, but the thickness of the arch (more than the thickness of the individual rows, which didn't change much) is not one of these parameters. I'm not sure how well it would fit the new math model, but you can take a look into it, it's detailed in the readme (available in french as well). For now, I'll count that as a wontfix.
