Fill in one of the vacancies dots with red because a new republican got sworn in yesterday 73.22.56.65 (talk) 17:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I'm maintaining the ParliamentDiagram tool which makes the apportionment diagrams you see in the article's infobox.
We have a specific page for making US diagrams with hardcoded colors and parties.
However, that page seems to be out of date with current practices on two main points :
- The ordering of Independent and Vacant seats. The order we use is Dem-Rep-Ind-Vac, but the current diagram puts the vacant seats in the middle, which represents the majorities more accurately. What order would you see as canonical ? And since the dems seat at the right of the speaker, wouldn't it make more sense to place them at the right of the diagram instead of the left ?
- The colors. We use #6b6b6b with no border for the vacant seats, when the current diagram uses pure-white with a .91 pure-black stroke around it. Our republicans are #ff0000 whereas yours are #e81b23, our dems are #0000ff whereas yours are #3333ff. And there are no independents in the current diagram, but we mark them as #c9c9c9. What colors would you see as canonical
Answers in issue #151 are more likely to be seen ! And this also concerns the Senate and any state legislature, so if there are places where contributors to US parliament pages hang out, feel free to notify them ! Gouvernathor (talk) 11:54, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
