Hi Poul Another nit is people who use JPG for graphs or line art.
JPG (JPEG) = Joint Photographic Experts Group JPG is a lossy format that was designed to work well with continuous tone images. It works great with photographs. It was never intended to work with line art -- line art comes out lousy when you highly compress the image. Formats like PNG or GIF work a lot better and give very good compression. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Poul-Henning Kamp > Sent: Monday, August 06, 2012 14:09 > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] What size graphs do people like? > (How big isyourscreen?) > > In message <19D39F6978C14DE88D869CF287CAA920@photo>, "DaveH" writes: > > >Also, many people __still__ do not > >enjoy full bandwidth for their internet connections (I am > one of these poor > >sods) and a full-size image is not "polite" as it takes a > large chunk of > >bandwidth to download before the person can see if it is of > interest to > >them. > > That is _exactly_ why you should use a vectorformat like SVG: Raster > format is a waste of bytes for line graphics. > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
