How to create a Parliament diagram!

[Penguinmark]

I keep getting a chart with only 45 red seats no matter what I do. Why is that?

What did you entering into the code-generating website?

[Deutschlind]

The code that I got from the diagram creator site. I've tried again now though, and it worked. But what should I do if it happens again?

[Penguinmark]

I'd suggest checking what you've entered into the diagram creator sight next time. Make sure that each party is seperated by semi-colons, not commas, and that each colour has a # in front of it.

[Deutschlind]

Thanks!

[The Araucania]

[The Dinolands]

That's really neat, but I feel like the ones I made are cooler. Granted, not as easy to construct.

[Silvadus]

Any idea how to do this on a mac? I attempted to paste the code into Textedit but the only options for files to save it as are RTF, HTML, and Word Document.

A while ago there was a thread for making diagrams like this to show the composition of your legislative assembly:

These diagrams (Slashme Diagrams) originate from Wikipedia and the script for creating them was programmed by a user called Slashme. Interested in making one yourself?

1. Go to this website
2. In the text box, type in the code as instructed:
   - Party name
   - Comma
   - Number of seats the party has
   - Comma
   - The hexidecimal code to show the colour you want the party to be (must have a # in front of it)
   - Semi-colon (except at the end)
   - Repeat for every other party
   
   For example, the diagram above was created by entering this:
   
   Socialist Party, 34, #660066; Labour Party, 171, #FF0000; Green Party, 69, #00FF00; Christian Democratic Party, 80, #FF9900; Reformist Party, 142, #0000FF; Free Republic Party, 40, #FFFF00; PDV, 64, #999999
   
   Do not enter any speech marks as this messes it up!
   
   Below is a (rather simplified) chart to show the hexidecimal codes for various colours:

3. Click Send, then click to load the SVG code, and load of code should appear. Copy it.
4. Open up Notepad (or some other simple text editor) and paste in the SVG code.
5. Save the code. In the Save dialogue box, change the "Save as Type" to All Files, not Text Document. Name it parliament.svg.
6. Now go onto this website or any other that converts SVG images to PNG format.
7. Click Browse and select the SVG file you have just saved. Select to convert it to PNG.
8. Click Submit and then save the file you produce (there's an option to preview it as well).
9. To allow it to be viewed on NationStates, upload it to an image hosting website.

Any problems? Post here. Also, you're welcome to post your created diagrams on this thread!

Where does it send to?

[Rejaina]

Red= The Rejai Party
Black= The Aasokan-Union Front
Yellow= The Rejai Party

[ArghNeedAName]

Bump. Post any diagrams you create!

[Nordengrund]

Good job! Took me a short while to figure out the Hexidecimal code, but I got the color I wanted. I could not decide if I wanted 11 or 12 members in the Federal Party.

[Darmen]

No matter what I do, I always get a diagram with 600 seats. What am I doing wrong?

[ArghNeedAName]

No matter what I do, I always get a diagram with 600 seats. What am I doing wrong?

What did you type into the code-generating website?

[Darmen]

Second Communist Group, 65; Republican Party, 78; Treaty Party, 16

Do I have to have the hexidecimal codes at the end? It says it'll just give out random colors.

[Rennersia]

Not working for me. Could someone make one for me, please?

Here are my parties, the number of seats they hold, and their colors:

House of Representatives
Liberal Democratic Party, 57, #336600; National Front, 31, #FF6600; People's Progressive Party, 24, #FFF333; Country Party, 6, #006633; Rennersian Congress Party, 3, #3399FF; Green Party, 3, #006600; Freedom Party, 3, #FFFF33; Labor Party, 3, #CCO033; Independent/Non-partisan, 2, #CCCCCC

Senate
Liberal Democratic Party, 29, #336600; National Front, 19, #FF6600; People's Progressive Party, 12, #FFF333; Independent/Non-partisan, 6, #CCCCCC

The original diagram tool Slashme created did boxy diagrams like below and it can be found http://drichfld.freeshell.org/perlcgi/testpy.cgi.

I like this.

[Castelvetro]

I love this! Thank you!

[Kvatchdom]

The "SVG to raster Image Conversion" doesn't give me any images. When I try to open the file I downloaded, it says "Can't display the picture because it's an empty file".

[Gijinkia]

Well, that idea is certainly a lot better than the method I use of copy and pasting the url when you click on the link it gives you and then rushing like hell to an svg to png converter before somebody else uses the programme and I accidentally download their parliament chart. I love you.

[Ulvena]

Gold: Eclipse Sub-Party (Upholds Original Ulvenan Ideals)
Green: Social Democrat Sub-Party
Purple: Conservative Sub-Party
Sky Blue: Equestrian Sub-Party
Grey: Labor Sub-Party
Midnight Blue: Liberal Sub-Party
Red: Communist Sub-Party

[Zimbezia]

It's not working for me, either.

In a democracy it takes millions of people to change anything, in an absolute dictatorship all it takes is one man with an axe to change the entire government.
