Methods Discussion II

Submitted by sfairfield on Sat, 02/23/2019 - 15:20

          The differences of the placement of the letters within the white boxes are likely due to my stating in my methods only that I “arranged each text object so that they were in the center of a white square.” I did not indicate a specific action I took within inkscape to ensure the letters were actually centered, leaving how to achieve the centering to the reader’s discretion and therefore producing different results. The fact that the “a” and “b” labels were wider and the “c” label was narrower in Figure 2 than their counterparts in Figure 1 were likely a result of the creator of Figure 2 using the handles of the text objects to disproportionately resize the letters. These two factors together likely caused the different size spaces between the letters and the edges of the white boxes. The differences in the placement of the arrows relative to the edge of the images was probably due to me describing the location of the arrows in my methods not as being a specific distance from the edges, but located relative to objects depicted in the photographs, and the photographs being framed differently so that those components were in slightly different positions. The differences between the arrow heads in each figure was a result of me and my partner picking different styles, likely due to me not specifying which style I chose in my methods.
