Shyamal has made a svg version based on the same concept image by Swapnil.
Thanks to both of you. I suppose Srikanth will upload it and share a link.

so does that mean that files created in GIMP cant
be printed in big sizes ?
Unlike svg files, other format images do not scale well. Some svg files can
scale infinitely.
Inkscape is available on Ubuntu as well. I took the liberty to add Shymal L to
the loop.
He's our resident expert for svg and inkscape issues. User:Planemad would be
another, but he's recuperating from a fracture.
