Hi Sandy,<br>
<br>
Color is great and so are background images. I was trying to say that
the base symbol SVG definitions for the ISWA will need to define black
parts and white parts. I don't believe there is a way to accurately
define all of the symbols using only one color.<br>

<pre wrap="">However with proper writing in lanes, additional complications are
added. For each sign we need to know the head's center of a sign.
This information will need to be included in a signs SVG data.

Am I missing something about body shift? Body shift just means that the
whole sign is shifted right or left on the page, doesn't it? So all we
need is a number stating the x-distance to shift it, surely?

You probably already know this... <br>
<br>
Here are 2 signs. They are both in the center lane. Notice, the signs
are centered by the center of the heads. <br>

Here's 4 signs in 2 lanes. The signs are centered in their respective
lane by the head symbol. <img

Given an SVG of a sign, we'll need to be able to determine the center
of the sign based on head symbols. We'll have to see if we need extra
information, or if we can determine what are head symbols by SVG.<br>
<br>
For the Build format, I use the SSS ID numbers to determine if there is
a head in the sign. I then take the average center and use that as the
center of the sign and compute the sign's placement accordingly.<br>
