English: Own work. Dimensions of Puerto Rico’s Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares) revolt flag, modeled after the Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares) flag exhibited at the Museum of History, Anthropology and Art of the University of Puerto Rico since 1954.[1] Several flags were made for the revolt in 1868, but only two have survived to this day. The other Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares) flag is exhibited at the Museum of the Army in Toledo, Spain since its discovery in 2022.[2][3]
This construction sheet does not follow the dimensions of the original flag exhibited at the museum in Puerto Rico. Instead, it follows the most commonly used and widely accepted dimensions of the flag today as visually recognized by the government of Puerto Rico.[4] No official document in Puerto Rico provides the exact dimensions of the flag’s shape, cross, and five-pointed star. While the exact proportions of the flag have not been established by law, the most commonly used and widely accepted layout of the flag is as follows:

At a length-to-width ratio of 2:3, the shape of the flag is rectangular, one and a half times longer than wide, composed of four equal rectangles, two blue on the top, the left of which bears a large, sharp, upright, centered, five-pointed white star which diameter is one-third of the flag width, and two red on the bottom, all four being nine-fourths of the flag length and twelves-fifths of the flag width, and a large white greek cross in the center touching all four sides of the flag, with its vertical post width being one-ninth of the flag length and horizontal crossbar width one-sixth of the flag width.

Most representations of the flag follow these specifications, with the components likely to vary being the size of cross and star. The width of the cross is occasionally displayed bigger than the most commonly used size of one-ninth (19) of the flag length for its vertical post width and one-sixth (16) of the flag width for its horizontal crossbar width, and the diameter of the star is occasionally displayed smaller than the most commonly used size of one-third (13) of the flag width.
This construction sheet includes one irrational dimension that has been derived (calculated) from the given dimension:
  • R equals the distance from the hoist of the flag to the center of the star within the top left, blue rectangle. Mathematically, the star is located at the center of the rectangle, which is calculated to be 9.60468635614927 units from the hoist of the flag.

The Grito de Lares flag appears in five color shades of blue: three light blue, uranian blue, vivid sky blue, and deep sky blue, one medium blue, and one dark blue. These are the exact same colors of the the current flag of Puerto Rico: three light blue, uranian blue, vivid sky blue, and deep sky blue, one medium blue, and one dark blue.
Español: Dimensiones de la bandera de la revuelta del Grito de Lares en Puerto Rico, basada en la bandera del Grito de Lares que se exhibe en el Museo de Historia, Antropología y Arte, Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Río Piedras desde 1954. Se hicieron varias banderas para la revuelta del 1868, pero solo dos han sobrevivido hasta el día de hoy. La otra bandera del Grito de Lares se exhibe en el Museo del Ejército en Toledo, España, desde su descubrimiento en 2022.

Esta hoja de construcción no sigue las dimensiones de la bandera original exhibida en el museo en Puerto Rico. En cambio, sigue las dimensiones más utilizadas y ampliamente aceptadas de la bandera hoy en día como es reconocido visualmente por el gobierno de Puerto Rico.[4] Ningún documento oficial en Puerto Rico proporciona las dimensiones exactas del tamaño de la forma, la cruz y la estrella de cinco puntas de la bandera. Si bien las proporciones exactas de la bandera no han sido establecidas por la ley, el diseño más utilizado y ampliamente aceptado de la bandera es el siguiente:

Con una relación de longitud a anchura de 2:3, la forma de la bandera es rectangular, una vez y media más larga que ancha, compuesta por cuatro rectángulos iguales, dos azules en la parte superior, el izquierdo de los cuales lleva una estrella grande, afilada, vertical, centrada y blanca de cinco puntas cuyo diámetro es un tercio del ancho de la bandera, y dos rojos en la parte inferior, los cuatro siendo nueve cuartos del largo de la bandera y doce quintos del ancho de la bandera, y una cruz griega grande y blanca en el centro que toca los cuatro lados de la bandera, con el ancho de su poste vertical siendo un noveno del largo de la bandera y el ancho horizontal de la barra transversal un sexto del ancho de la bandera.

La mayoría de las representaciones de la bandera siguen estas especificaciones, pero es probable que los componentes que varíen sean el tamaño de la cruz y la estrella. El ancho de la cruz se muestra ocasionalmente más grande que el tamaño más comúnmente utilizado de un noveno (19) del largo de la bandera para su ancho vertical y un sexto (16) del ancho de la bandera para su ancho de barra transversal horizontal, y el diámetro de la estrella se muestra ocasionalmente más pequeño que el tamaño más comúnmente utilizado de un tercio (13) del ancho de la bandera.
