WHICH IS MORE COMPACT? EPS OR SVG?
Contrary to my expectations, simple EPS files seem to be often more compact than the correspondent SVG files. Here, I even had the luxury of a scale command (marked in red), which produces the flag on the left. But there is a catch. (1/4)π§΅

(3/4)𧡠Three examples of "template" functions: 'x', '\', and '+'. Function 'x' produces the white X in the flag, '\' produces the left slanted red stripe, and '+' produces white and red crosses (color commands not shown for clarity).

My lunch today: goat cheese with olive oil, poached eggs, and slow cooked (10 hours at 130Β°C) beef with avocado oil mayonnaise.

EXTREME EPS FILE COMPACTATION
I downloaded this flag in EPS format. It had 554,518 bytes. I opened it in a text editor, removed all Illustrator bloat, and then optimized it by hand (code on the right). Final file size: 855 bytes!
The original file was 648 times bigger.

The Leopardus tilcayo lives in Boliviaβs Yungas forest ecoregion, which lies on the eastern slope of the Andes Mountains. This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species known to science, the first discovered since the pampas cat in 1923. π€―
