Dec 18, 2014 at 2:06 comment added Pietro Saccardi @Mr.Wizard I tried that, with ExportString and ImportString using PDF as format. I get JoinedCurve instead of Line in the Graphics, I tried some substitutions but I couldn't get xkcdify to work yet :/ My knowledge of Mathematica language is quite limited...
Dec 18, 2014 at 1:41 comment added Mr.Wizard @Pietro It does seem broken. :-( At the moment all I can think of is possibly exporting and importing the the graphic to some standard format, hopefully splitting it as FullGraphics did in the process. I shall try that later if I remember.
Dec 18, 2014 at 0:59 comment added Pietro Saccardi FullGraphics seems to be broken in current Mathematica (10), so your (very cool =) ) code doesn't work anymore. Perhaps any suggestion on how to replace it?
Aug 30, 2013 at 1:57 comment added Murta It's not respecting AspectRatio in MMA9. See Plot[Sinc[2 x], {x, 0, 10}, AspectRatio -> 1] // xkcdify
Oct 15, 2012 at 7:29 comment added baol Nice, except for one little detail xkcd.com/833 :)
Oct 3, 2012 at 4:37 comment added Vitaliy Kaurov @Mr.Wizard Hey, I did not mean that ;) What you did is awesome. You got my +1 from the start. I really like that one can apply //xkcdify directly to graphics outputs.
Oct 3, 2012 at 4:30 comment added Mr.Wizard @Vitaliy this is still far from complete but I think it illustrates a usable framework. I've spent about an hour and a half on this so far, believe it or not, and I'm not sure how much more I care to spend, but I may extend it a bit tonight.
Oct 3, 2012 at 4:27 comment added Vitaliy Kaurov @Mr.Wizard yes, that simple sin bug is fixed now, thx. I see that function xkcdify suppose to take only Graphics objects, but not always, right? Like BarChart[{1, 2, 3}] and ListLinePlot[{1, 2, 3}, Mesh -> All] will not work.

Oct 2, 2012 at 20:49 comment added Dr. belisarius Mr: This should download a palettized version of your function. Tell me if it works NotebookPut@ImportString[Uncompress@FromCharacterCode@Flatten@ImageData[Import@ "https://i.sstatic.net/tZigg.png","Byte"],"NB"]
