<blockquote cite="mid:m741c1$imk$1@ger.gmane.org" type="cite">Is
there a demand for "Belgian_road_sign_" in .png or .??? for use
in osm plug-ins. Like road-sign restriction relations selector
or place them near the highway as node icon (like give_way,
stop) for better overview in a second layer, ??? <br>
Before I start to contribute, like to know if someone already
did the job so no in witch proportion you want them and what
extension ? <br>
Can java (josm) scale the sign while rendering ? exits there a
program for easily scaling and still keep the proportions? <br>

Filling gaps welcome. Please use only SGV (much better and fun,
see Inkscape editor, OO draw can do).<br>
SVG is inherently scalable.<br>
Signs are available here and there, e.g. <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.code-de-la-route.be">http://www.code-de-la-route.be</a>.<br>
But not always in SVG.<br>
With SVG, you just dismantle parts of one sign to make another one
(that's how I made <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Belgium-trafficsign-f45b.svg">this</a>
starting from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Belgium-trafficsign-f45.svg">that</a>).<br>
If you want to practice dismantling, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="File:Great+coat+of+arms+of+Belgium.svg%C2%B5">use this</a>
<span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>

<br>
If you cannot reuse parts of other SVG signs or drawings, you can <a
href="http://www.vectorizer.io">convert bitmaps on this site</a>.<br>
<br>
I wanted to make a SVG logo. I had a crappy 4.7 kB jpg. I found a
better 388 kB eps and I converted it to 2.7 kB png. Then I ran png
though that site and I got a PERFECT 6.5 kB SVG, not bad for an XML
file !!!<br>
<br>
SVG is scaling nicely because it doesn't use bitmaps but <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve">Bézier
curves</a> that are scaling perfectly.<br>
<br>
One of the best advice to make SVG drawings is to use a suitable
grid and snapping to it.<br>
