[edit] Secret sharing planes

Hi, thanks for making these: mad skillz indeed! Cheers. I've gone and added them to secret sharing with a brief caption for now. It'd be good to add them to plane (mathematics), too, I think. The images aren't too large; the thumbnailing system makes them a good size for web display, and the larger size helps if they were ever to be printed (that's actually a possibility at some point, as secret sharing is one of about 70 articles for a WikiReader in Cryptography).

Is it OK if I label the images {{GFDL}}? Or do you do the whole multi-licensing / PD thing as well? — Matt Crypto 07:42, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)


yeah sure GFDL is good. I'm not that well informed about the various flavours of Gnu license but from what I read in the article about it, GFDL looks appropriate.
Thanks. — Matt Crypto 21:08, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Did you want text labels put on? And would marking the line / point where the planes intersect improve legibility? I can add these if it does.
Probably not text labels (since without it's more useful for other language Wikipedias). Regarding marking the point/line -- maybe we should try it and see? I like the "clean" look at the moment, but it might be clearer for the reader if the intersections were emphasised in some way. — Matt Crypto 21:08, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the new versions of these images with the intersections highlighted; I think it works well. One thing: I was having a look at Image:Secretsharing-2-line.png, and I wondered if it might be worth playing with the colours a little. The reason being that when the yellow plane passes behind the red, it's quite hard to make out through the transparancy -- do you think there's any way that could be improved? I don't know if there is any practical way to fix this or not.

On a completely different topic, one tip is that you can "sign" your messages by typing ~~~~ after your comments; that way people can keep track of discussions more easily. — Matt Crypto 12:20, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations, Sib2 and fam

Did you know that the population of Brian Emstrongs has also tripled in the last six months? --Shirt58 12:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphics Lab

I saw your name listed on Wikiproject Illustration or the list of graphic artists, and I thought I'd let you know that a Graphics Lab has been created on EN. Based on the highly successful French and German graphics labs, it seeks to better organise and coordinate our graphic design and photo-editing efforts. Up until now, there has been no common space on EN where users could ask for maps, charts and other SVG files to be created. What's more, the Graphics Lab has discussion boards, tips, tools and links; in sum, a good common workspace. Come help us out! The infrastucture is already in place, and now we need participants. :) --Zantastik talk 00:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Used your pictures

Hi,

I added your secret sharing pictures to the article on systems of linear equations. They're quite nice, and I think they improve the article a lot.

By the way, how much effort is required to make these? I wouldn't mind a couple more for the systems of linear equations article, and I imagine that articles like arrangement of hyperplanes could benefit from some similar pictures. Jim 06:01, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
