VS Calc Tool Official Information and Feedback Thread

So where do we currently need to add links and instructions for this calculations tool, or has that been handled already? 🙏
 
Would it be possible for you to implement the ability to adjust the position and size of a lines letter and number values when exporting images in the same way you can adjust the legends box size and position? With cropped or smaller image sizes they tend to overlap during export if lines are close enough to each other which ruins readability. Or alternatively would it be possible to enable users to select and move just the line information, as opposed to the line information + the line, so we could position it in a way that maintains readability when exporting?

Done, you now can move the numbers on the image and change the font size. To move the numbers, use the hand tool, click on the number and move. I also added a feature to change the name, color and fontsize and position for the reference line.
 
Well, maybe in a few other calculation instruction pages, and possibly in our wiki navigation bar, if Fandom's settings does not prevent that. 🙏
 
Could we get micrometers as a selectable unit for image scaling? I've been doing calcs for Primordialis and it operates on that size scale, so does Cells at Work
Including nanometers could be useful for microscopic verses as well
 
Earthquake calculator is weird right now. It gives about 0.1 higher magnitude than it should. Small thing, but still.
 
Can you show me exactly how you found out this error?
Go to Earthquake calculator, and select "Find Magnitude (at source)". Put some values in, press calculate, and when it returns a Richter magnitude, click "Save as post". The value in the post will be ~0.1 less than the value in the calculator.
 
When shall we get proper planet scaling thingy stuff like circle and such
 
Not sure how feasible it would be but could be nice if there was a feature to brighten the image within the image scaling as sometimes scenes are just too dark normally to get good lines, usually have to brighten them with image editing software
 
There should be a mass-to-energy calculator, I'm honestly kinda surprised there isn't one already.
 
Some categories like the Pixel Scaling could have Light-years as a value, a light-year is 9,460,730,472,580.8 km, would be a little useful for galactic-scale calcs

Added. Keep in mind that image scaling features like increasing brightness, adding shapes likes circles etc, are not in the priority list. Do it yourself on paint. I added brightness cause I was working on the other two requests here.
 
So about this... Do any of you have good suggestions? 🙏
1: In the menu of the forum, usually theres spots used for advertisement but a little space for a link to the calc tool (as an image) could be there perfectly (oddly placed but still)

2: In those comments that you do to every calc blog about linking to calc evaluations, you could mention the calc tool so in the future people can keep it in mind, specially good for new people

3: It would require more effort, but several explanation pages in the wiki have tools in the calc tool for them, recommending using it

That is not practically workable.

That seems impractical, and would inform people after they have already made a calculation.

Well, I don't mind links in a few other calculation instruction pages, but we need specific examples and to add the links in a proper manner. Maybe an instruction page or instruction section for how to use the calculation tool would be a good idea? 🙏

Im pretty sure there's significantly more calc blogs than calcers, many people have made dozen of calcs, it's meant for them to use it in the future, and is not like most calc get quickly evaluated as soon as they are made, people usually have to bump them once they believe they are done

The explanation page is a good idea tho, if I have the time I could try
 
It is probably best if @M3X_2.0 writes an explanation page or section for our wiki, if he thinks that it is a good idea. 🙏
 
This is more of a QOL request: Would it be possible to add a colored outline to the text/size in the image scaling section of the tool? Sometimes the colours available don't allow us to view the text in the image well due to how they blend in with the background. Alternatively, the ability to outright hide the reference text name and size in the picture so that we can rely strictly on the legend made during the export
