=== Naming conventions === | === Naming conventions === | ||
The graphics and figures which are published on this website as images are named according to the following pattern: | |||
* The first three digits correspond to the manuscript or typescript number according to Von Wright's catalogue and are followed by a comma; in a few cases, the manuscript or typescript number may contain additional characters (progressive letters, as in the case of [[Ms-153a]] and [[Ms-153b]], or progressive letters and numbers, as in the case of [[Ts-201a1]] and [[Ts-201a2]]); | |||
* The next set of digits (one to three) is the page number within the manuscript or typescript; this number is sometimes followed by "r" for "''recto"'' or "v" for "''verso''"; | |||
* When more than one drawing appears on the same page, the page number is followed by a hyphen and by a progressive number. | |||
For example, in [[:File:102,32r-1.png|102,32r-2]], "102" refers to Ms-102, "32r" refers to page 32 ''recto'', and "1" refers to the fact that this is the second of multiple drawings on the same page. | |||
The placeholders for items that are encoded in the transcriptions as XLM and Unicode follow a slightly different pattern. After the digits that refer to the manuscript or typescript number and those that refer to the page number is always a hyphen followed by a progressive letter. | |||
For example, [[:File:108,89-c.png|108,89-c]] is the third visual item encoded in the transcription as XML and Unicode that occurs on page 89 of Ms-108; and even when only one occurs on a given page, the suffix "-a" is present to prevent situations when the numbering of this type of objects would conflict with that of the other type (for example, [[:File:108,25-a.png|108,25-a]] is the only visual item encoded as XML and Unicode that occurs on page 25 of Ms-108, while [[:File:108,25.png|108,25]] is the only visual item that was redrawn as an image on the same page). | |||
=== File formats === | === File formats === | ||
For each redrawn image, two files are provided: a PNG render and an SVG source. | |||
[[Wikipedia:PNG|PNG]] is a raster format, meaning that the file consists of information that defines a grid (or map or matrix) of flecks of colour. PNG images are easy to download and reuse in many computer programs and print formats. | |||
[[Wikipedia:SVG|SVG]] is a vector format, meaning that the file consists of plain-text information describing the points, curves, colours, etc., that make up the image. SVG images are natively displayed by most modern browsers and desktop viewers, but may be less stable or lower-fidelity compared to the corresponding PNG renders. Their chief purpose is to be easily editable using vector graphics software such as the free and open-source application [[Wikipedia:Inkscape|Inkscape]] (the programme they were created with), the proprietary application Adobe Illustrator, and others. | |||
While the PNG files provided by this website are high-resolution, the SVG files may be used to export PNG files of virtually unlimited resolution. | |||
The two files that are provided for each redrawn image have the same name, but they are distinguished by the file type extension (<code>.png</code> or <code>.svg</code>). The corresponding pages on this website (for example, [[:File:164,29.png]] and [[:File:164,29.svg]] link to each other through their description box. | |||
=== Viewing online === | |||
All files that are made available through this website can be viewed online or downloaded. | |||
The files may be viewed: | |||
* Through a gallery page that includes all images ([[All graphics]]); | |||
* Through a gallery page for each manuscript or typescript ([[:Category:All manuscript pages|All manuscript pages]]); | |||
* Individually, through a description page that can be viewed by clicking on the name of a file in a gallery page or on the "More details" button which appears after clicking on an image in a gallery page. | |||
All these pages can also be accessed by searching for a manuscript or typescript number or for a file name in the search bar. | |||
=== Downloading === | |||
Individual files can easily be downloaded through the expanded view in gallery pages or through the description pages. | |||
Bulk downloads are available for individual manuscripts through a link in each manuscript page and through the dedicated section of the homepage, where a link is also available to download all files at once. | |||
Please keep in mind that the files on this website may be updated to implement corrections or improvements. Of course, downloaded files will not reflect these changes. | |||
