Image Discrepancies (since 7/21/14 drop) about joint-military-symbology-xml

[csmoore]

Update - updated table and issue name to reflect fixes in 7/21/14 drop & any newly noticed issues (ex.a couple notional labels still visible on Control Measures).

Resolved in this drop:

Id/Filename	Symbol Set	EntityCode	Name	Issue
25130300	Control Measures(25)	130300	Command and Control Points : Checkpoint	Should be "CKP" (instead of "AMN")

Graphic 25140200 removed from list of icon exports and clarified that not a drawn symbol.

[csmoore]

Just a couple of sample images to hopefully clarify 2 of the items from original issue above:

Neutral central icons can't be seen-they are touching/past/obscured by frame:

10XXXX98_2:

10121103_2:

Non friendly central icons don't touch frame:

10120402 Friendly vs. Unknown versions:

[csmoore]

2 additional (minor) issues I noticed are:

1. The line width for the reality/present version of the frame outlines seems to have gotten thinner recently (shown below compared to the Exercise version of the frame)
2. The command echelon amplifier ("++") is hard to see compared to the other echelon amplifiers

[csmoore]

Any of these addressed in latest/8/26/14 MIL_STD_2525D_Symbols.zip ?

Might be a good idea to add a change-log to MIL_STD_2525D_Symbols.zip with a quick synopsis of the changes when a new version is released.

@mepler: can you please look into these various issues and check or correct as needed?

[csmoore]

I think the only additional thing (in addition to the ones still open above) I've noticed in the new set (10/20/14) is this one went a bit pear-shaped:

20_120309 :

[csmoore]

@abouffard - and how that one (20_120309) looks on the map - so we will probably need you to manually fix this one or otherwise workaround:

[abouffard]

@mepler: please review and correct the indicated symbol in your master.

[csmoore]

Looks like there are still some ArialMT fonts in the latest batch also (which seems to be an unmapped font on my system) - to find these from DOS:

> findstr /s /c:"ArialMT" *.svg

[mepler]

'ArialMT' has been replaced with 'sans-serif' in the master SVG files.

[csmoore]

Looks like the issues still exist with these 2 symbols in the latest update:

https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/MIL_STD_2525D_Symbols/Appendices/Land/20120309.svg

https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/MIL_STD_2525D_Symbols/Appendices/Land/20120902.svg

[mepler]

The blob effect with 20120309.svg was caused by the line representing the 'spillage' in the image. The issue has been corrected.

20120902.svg has been updated and should now display correctly.

Update forthcoming.

[abouffard]

Thanks @mepler Just send the corrected svg files to me and I'll put them into my next pull request.

[csmoore]

@abouffard - can you update the status of this issue and let me know if it is ready to verify?

[abouffard]

A new document has been created at https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/KNOWN_ISSUES.md in #139 , designed to track SVG issues. I have reviewed the output from the Runtime dictionary image dump project and passed the resulting PNG files to @mepler for review. The SVG issues above that are not still logged in https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/KNOWN_ISSUES.md have been fixed and are reflected in what we have now. @mepler is aware of the still open issues and is working on them, together with fixing the issue we reported on varying sizes for some point control measures.

My recommendation is that @csmoore independently verify that those issues above not still listed in https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/KNOWN_ISSUES.md have indeed been addressed, and that we then close this issue and continue tracking new issues, still open issues, and the evolution of changes to the various SVG file issues in https://github.com/Esri/joint-military-symbology-xml/blob/master/svg/KNOWN_ISSUES.md.

[csmoore]

Thanks for checking these - that new discrepancies/KNOWN_ISSUES.md/readme looks great btw - having those graphics there in a table makes a tremendous difference, nice work.

Just 2 notes:

1. Add a link to this doc in the main folder readme
2. For those grey background ones I think Mike said that was intentional/by design

[abouffard]

He did on the grey ones, but I thought the intent was that the grey backed the area inside the shape of the symbols, not the "canvas" behind the symbol. I'm asking the Navy for confirmation.
