Progress update on my #XSLT #SVG #sparkline generator
https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/plotting-sparklines-xslt/
Another step in my path to revitalize usage of XSLT on the web. And before you ask, no, this is not to spite the #WHATWG and their #XML-aversive #JavaScript brainrot, it's something I've wanted to do for years, as documented by my previous posts on the subject.
However, since the corporate-controlled WHATWG is using metrics as excuse to boycott the #openWeb and #indieWeb, it becomes doubly important to do this now.

Customizable #SVG patterns for your web projects
I'm currently working on the #XSLT that generates the #sparkline #SVG from raw #XML data to make it more flexible. This will make the code grow larger (especially singe I'm forced to use the 25-years old #XSLT1 because that's what browsers support, despite two major releases that would make everything easier and more compact), but I will be able to recycle the code to replace the pseudo-sparklines of index pages with _actual_ #sparklines.
Absolutely brilliant live demo with direct manipulation. I now see how one could render an entire season of “Dr. Katz” using only #SVG. 
EDIT: H/T to @didoesdigital
What a great post. Explains "boiling lines", SVG filters, turbulence field, displacement map, all using cute visuals and interactive sliders to let you play. Even on a phone.

My small act of #resistance against the #enshittification of the web today has been to use client-side #XSLT for something different that #RSS styling: generating multiple #SVG plots from the same #XML data:
Made a new #opengraph image for my Hugo blog #BurgeonLab!
What do you think? It's less boring than the old one 
No idea when or if #Fosstodon will pick up the new og:image for old posts (doubt it, due to caching). But at least I know it'll work with upcoming posts!
I used this neat svg pattern generator: https://app.haikei.app/
I couldn't find a good pre-prepared gradient interpolation test which would obviously show the difference between RGB and CMYK interpolation. A lot of ranges look quite similar.
So I did an 5^^8 search for the best range and this one is the top diff with the greatest difference between one of the two colours.

the web standard for JS-less animations and interactions that can be used to build interactive #SVG graphics. That one was luckily aborted. Now it's time to put pressure on them to keep #XSLT in.
We have a new person doing the Inkscape challenges this month and I was wondering if you guys would throw them a bit of attention for their first one? Draw a boat using #inkscape

Vector work done for the dial, a little longer on this as the original contained a fair bit of hand written lettering. Also an obscure font that needed tweaking.
