This page contains a number of vector graphics files I've created, mainly for use in lab reports for the engineering course. These may be considered public domain, however it doesn't need to be pointed out that use of them in an academic work (read lab report) without attribution is obviously plagiarism.
The images on this page are in png format, and link to the raw file. This is because the images were mainly created either on an A4 canvas, or within a document. Therefore a lot of the original files do not render sensibly within a html page
The files are sorted in roughly chronological order. In theory the quality should improve closer to the bottom of the page.
Most of the earlier files were produced using Inkscape. While the more recent files were generally produced within LaTeX documents, using the Tikz package. The latex source linked from this page take the form of code fragments, and will not compile unless correctly included in a LaTeX document.

This was a first year Engineering Experiment, and was the first time I'd really used Inkscape, or the svg format. These images are a mix of diagrams of various mechanisms, and velocity diagrams. The font used is Champagne & Limousines which is available for free under a proprietary licence.
These images were created using The Gnu Image Manipulation Program. They are of a slightly lower quality than some of the other images on this page, and due to not having been created in a vector graphics program, are only available as pngs.
These are a bit simple, they show the dimensions of the specific materials samples used in a 1B Materials experiment.
My choice of extended exercise involved vibrating a structure on a sand base and measuring the amplitude of vibrations in each floor of the structure. The structure in question is common to a large number of the Cambridge undergraduate engineering labs.
The first diagram shows the hierarchy of different memory systems, ordered by size, or alternatively access time. The second diagram shows the operation of a simple cache.
The area of a polygon can be calculated as the sum of the signed areas of triangles defined by its edges, and any fixed point. This diagram demonstrates this.
These circuit diagrams show a power converter connected in configurations used in the 3B3 Power converters lab.
These diagrams were made to embellish a series of reports documenting the design of an image compression algorithm, and the implementation of that algorithm in Matlab. These are the first diagrams shown to have been created within LaTeX, using Tikz.
The GF2 project was a software development task, with the aim of producing a simulator for logic circuits. These diagrams are representations of logic circuits that could be simulated. The logic symbols were done using circuitikz.
