Redraw image of cisplatin and transplatin

I would like to ask that this file be redrawn. It was drawn in 2011 as a vector image to update the raster image File:Cisplatin and transplatin.gif which I had drawn in 2009 (and which will soon be deleted from Wikipedia as it is no longer used in any article). The problem here is that the vector version does not conform to the usual chemistry conventions for showing the spatial geometry of the molecule, since the four ligands are in a square implying a planar diagram, but the bonds are shown as wedges and dotted lines implying a 3-dimensional diagram. So the vector image should be redrawn, but I do not have software to draw vector images, so I would like that the image be redrawn with the four ligands in a rectangle as in my diagram, and also as in the article on cisplatin.
