Add waved SVG files generated by Adobe Illustrator

[guidotheelen]

Created to be used as emoji resource in noto-emoji.

Automatically generated in Adobe illustrator, and manually compared against the generated noto-emoji flags.

Thanks. I acknowledge the need for these for noto-emoji. But I don't think we should import manually-transformed (even if you batched it) into the repo.

Someone, me possibly, will eventually implement this using Open Source software and newly-developed code. We can then add that into our build process.

Can you check if Inkscape can do this? @davelab6 can you cc inkscape developers please?

Also, this fork on "google" org seems abandoned. Should be removed IMO. cc @rsheeter

Thanks for your reply!

I created an Illustrator script because the wave effect is quite difficult to achieve due to the complexity of the SVG source files in this repo. I came across a lot of clipping paths, unfinished paths and overcomplex structures. Even my Illustrator script needed some manual changes to match the current flag emoji.

To automate the wave effect fully I would suggest to simplify the current SVG files first. In this case It’s likely Inkscape can do the trick as well.

Sure, simplifying them is also something that should happen.

If we have an inkscape script we can look more into what needs simplifying. We don't want to manually change them unless the change can be uploaded to WikiMedia.
