The octothorp is standard for #rrggbb triplets. Where does the dollar sign come into it?

I see. Thanks for the clarification!

I am surprised that Alfred did not follow up on that!

Those are very nice images. But I want you to write an SVG file of text as you said you would.

Sure, I can help with that! Here’s a simple SVG file containing some text:

XML

<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <text x="10" y="20" font-family="Arial" font-size="16" fill="black">Hello, SVG World!</text>
</svg>
AI-generated code. Review and use carefully. More info on FAQ.
You can copy this code into a text editor and save it with a .svg extension. When you open the file in a web browser, you should see the text “Hello, SVG World!” displayed.

If you need any modifications or additional elements, just let me know!

[I extracted the SVG text and saved it in a file named ai005.svg and it worked. Here is a png of what it produced.]

[New Topic. Repeat of the prompt that resulted in the production of Abstract Portrait. What will happen this time?]

Sure! Here’s a simple SVG file for an original portrait orientation painting. This SVG creates a basic rectangle with a gradient fill to represent a painting:

<svg width="400" height="600" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="url(#grad1)" />
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="100%">
      <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:rgb(255,255,255);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,255);stop-opacity:1" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
</svg>

This SVG code creates a 400x600 pixel rectangle with a gradient from white to blue, representing a simple painting in portrait orientation. You can customize the colors, dimensions, and other elements as needed. If you have any specific details or elements you’d like to include, feel free to let me know!

I tried a few more attempts yesterday. It is as if the AI will do SVG files but really wants to provide four jpg images and sometimes does so even if I have requested an SVG file.

The text of the SVG file is included as provided. I edited it to change the percentage values to their absolute values, as previously.

The illustration, as with the other Abstract Portrait, is on a white surround that is not part of the SVG image as I placed the image on an A3 canvas and then made the image 3600 pixels high by2400 pixels wide, centred it, then exported a png graphic at one seventh size both horizontally and vertically.

Sure! Here’s an example of an SVG file for an original portrait orientation painting. This SVG code creates a simple abstract painting with a few shapes and colors:

<svg width="400" height="600" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Background -->
  <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#f0f0f0" />
 
  <!-- Abstract shapes -->
  <circle cx="200" cy="150" r="80" fill="#ff6347" />
  <rect x="100" y="300" width="200" height="100" fill="#4682b4" />
  <polygon points="200,400 250,500 150,500" fill="#32cd32" />
 
  <!-- Text -->
  <text x="200" y="550" font-family="Verdana" font-size="24" fill="black" text-anchor="middle">
    Abstract Portrait
  </text>
</svg>

This SVG code sets up a canvas of 400x600 pixels (portrait orientation) and includes a background, a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, and some text. You can customize the shapes, colors, and text to create your own unique portrait painting. Let me know if you need any adjustments or additional elements!

Please produce the text of an SVG file that is of an original landscape orientation painting.

Sure! Here’s an SVG file text for an original landscape orientation painting. This SVG depicts a simple landscape with a sun, mountains, and a river:

<svg width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <!-- Background -->
  <rect width="800" height="400" fill="skyblue" />
 
  <!-- Sun -->
  <circle cx="700" cy="100" r="50" fill="yellow" />
 
  <!-- Mountains -->
  <polygon points="100,300 300,100 500,300" fill="darkgrey" />
  <polygon points="300,300 500,150 700,300" fill="grey" />
 
  <!-- River -->
  <path d="M 0 300 Q 200 350 400 300 T 800 300" fill="none" stroke="blue" stroke-width="5" />
 
  <!-- Grass -->
  <rect y="300" width="800" height="100" fill="green" />
</svg>

You can copy this text into an SVG file and view it in any browser or SVG viewer. Let me know if you’d like any modifications or additional elements!

That’s a river? It looks like a big blue skipping rope!

I find it interesting that Bing Chat AI gets much of a picture right, but does make a few mistakes.

Bing Chat AI seems to like to produce four jpg images rather than SVG text for other than very basic prompts.
