Summary

This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Orthogonality principle.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Technical information

Created with Ipe. The file was saved as EPS and then converted to PNG. This is because I could not figure out how to convert EPS to SVG (without paying for proprietary software). Following is the source XML file for generating this image; anyone having a method for converting EPS to SVG is welcome to use this.
