Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

I think it would have even more impact were the "to be developed or found" category were a much paler shade of blue -- like the northern sky at midday in an Arizona summer.

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

The garish top two bands are precisely in Coyote colour territory. The blues need changing to reds or browns. The 'to be found' area could also be a gradiented process yellow (darker at the bottom)

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

Can we remove the thick blue line?

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

We can, but it represent total oil.

I know, but it makes it look like a solid platform that Oil E. Coyote is running on, not thin air.

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

However, there is not enough resolution in the original picture to pull out the line. The graph could be totally reconstructed as a vector file, but it would take a little bit of time - that I don't have at the moment. But remind me over the weekend.

You might take a look at inkscape (and trace bitmap action). :)

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

Can you just change the line colour to match the Natural gas liquids band?

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

If I can't isolate the line, then I can't change it.

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 0)

Don't you have a colour fill opinion? As far as I can see, that black line is separate from other blacks (and even if it isn't, you could separate it by drawing a small separator line manually).

Or reduce the line weight to the thinnest available.

Re: Oil E. Coyote revised (none / 1)

Loverly. Now just change the total crude oil line to sky blue to match the blue sky dreaming fantasy, and its perfect.
