Re: [cellml-discussion] Schematic diagram
Hi Felix, The diagrams in the repository are all drawn by hand - using Adobe Illustrator, I think. The source format is SVG and I think there is a collection of template objects that are used to create the diagrams which should be available. Perhaps Dougal might be able to help if that might be useful for you... Cheers, Andre. On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 3:06 AM, Gerardo Felix Martinez gjfelix2...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi all.

Re: [cellml-discussion] Schematic diagram
Hi Felix Following up on what Andre wrote, I can confirm the diagrams are drawn by hand using Adobe Illustrator. The original files are .ai (from Adobe Illustrator) and they are converted to .png (for the website) and .svg (for the OpenCell session files). We have a library of glyphs which can be downloaded for free from the model repository: http://models.cellml.org/workspace/sessionresources/ You need to click on manifest for the latest addition to the folder and you can download the glyphs from there. Please let us know if you have any further questions (either concerning the images or CellML itself). One final thought - you need a licence to use Adobe Illustrator. I think there are alternative free software you can use (maybe Innkscape?). Again Dougal can confirm this. Thanks for your interest in CellML.

Re: [cellml-discussion] Schematic diagram
Hi Adam Thanks for this useful feedback. I'll ask Hanne to upload .svg versions of the glyphs as soon as she has some time.

The latest glyph library is the one simply called Diagram Library.ai. The older ones with dates included in the file names were around before the library made it into Mercurial. Please let us know if you have any further questions (either concerning the images or CellML itself). One final thought - you need a licence to use Adobe Illustrator. I think there are alternative free software you can use (maybe Inkscape?). Again Dougal can confirm this. Inkscape can certainly be used to create these diagrams, and I will put a copy of the library into the workspace in SVG format to make this easier. Inkscape has historically been avoided for a couple of reasons. Inkscape's SVG output is more difficult to work with when creating interactive session files, and it is more laborious to add the ID tags to the SVG using Inkscape than it is with Illustrator. Inkscape also expands simple gradients out into a large number of objects, making the SVG files much bigger than they need to be. If the diagrams are not being used to make OpenCell SVG sessions, then these problems are not relevant.

I have now uploaded an SVG version of the diagram library to the workspace. http://models.cellml.org/workspace/sessionresources The Illustrator library will probably remain the most up-to-date one, as all of the SVG session editing is still done in Illustrator. We will endeavor to update the SVG version every time changes are made to the library!
