| == Considerations ==
| | {{stub}} |
| The following considerations should be taken into account for this guideline:
| |
| | |
| === Bandwidth ===
| |
| Text formats do not have a large impact on bandwidth, but images do. An article with many graphic examples may take a long time to load, but most browsers will cache these images in case the user revisits the page. Bandwidth of the '''Sudopedia''' webserver is also a consideration.
| |
| | |
| If you use images, try to use a size that fits with the text. Use '''png''' or '''gif''' formats whenever possible. Images in '''jpg''' format require more space when only a few colors are used. Although [[Simple Sudoku]] produces nice images, they are less suitable for examples, since a large part of the image is filled with borders and 3D effects.
| |
| | |
| === Uniformity ===
| |
| It is not reader-friendly to have examples in all shapes and formats, especially within a single entry. A single format is easier to read.
| |
| | |
| === Copy-ability ===
| |
| Images cannot be copied. Yet, many readers may want to copy and paste the examples into their own Sudoku program. The uploaded image page should at least contain a string that can be copied. This string is just one click away for the reader.
| |
| | |
| == Types of Examples ==
| |
| Each situation may require a different type of example.
| |
| | |
| === Initial Puzzle ===
| |
| [[Given]] digits only.
| |
| | |
| === Candidate Grid ===
| |
| Grid with remaining candidates in each cell.
| |
| | |
| === Annotated Candidate Grid ===
| |
| Candidate grid with markings to show a particular pattern. Clarity is important.
| |
| | |
| === Single Digit Pattern ===
| |
| Distribution pattern for a single digit, used in [[fish]] related topics.
