Cobrapy Package Family Tree Poster

[ChristianLieven]

@Midnighter asked me to digitalize and share the poster I made for cobrapy for the COBRA2018 conference.

Frankly I don't know if this is a good spot for it. I tried properly embedding it such that all the links in the SVG are clickable, but I know too little HUGO to make it work. @cdiener, do you think this is something that could go on the homepage? I'm happy to modify it too.

Cheers,

Christian

Cool thanks. Maybe @Midnighter could comment where he wanted that on the page. It might be a bit big on the front page. We could have its own contributor page for that or whatever you propose. I have never succeeded in making links within SVGs work with any browser. They sometimes work in the PDF export but that is pure gambling. I think a rendered version with a link to the packages section might be enough 🤔

If you check out the branch and then open up the image in a dedicated tab the links all work. I think it is a matter of embedding the actual SVG into the HTML inline for this to function. Akin to what is described here: https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/embedding-inline-svg-in-content-markdown/7511

Alas, I was unable to get the shortcodes trick to work, and thus reverted to simply using a figure referencing the svg. I guess if we put it somewhere else it can live in its own template inline with the template html or as a partial, which could make it work with less voodoo.

I have no clear idea of where this should live. Many people seem to miss the packages page, though, so I don't really mind something "in your face".

@ChristianLieven that is cool! In that case SVG seems the way to go. Do you think there is a way to reduce file size a bit? I think most of that comes from the vector tree in the background. Maybe simplifying the paths could help... I think we can make the embedding work. Since the intro template is only used for that page I don't see a problem with hardcoding the image there (like in the linked forum discussion).

@Midnighter In that case the homepage might be a good option. It appears after all the description so I guess its fine.

I can give that a go. I can probably remove the title too (as it would be redundant with the hero banner on the main page anyways). There are also many 'invisible' edges and duplicate panels that I could merge into a single entity which should simplify the figure a lot!

Moritz and I were also toying with the idea of abstracting the SVG into a simple shape that has some js magic on top that fills out the respective branches of the tree automagically. This is just a future idea I'd wanted to capture so nothing that'll be ready soon :)
