    Hi Asmaa Shaban,<br>
    <br>
    Formal SignWriting is based on Cartesian coordinates of X,Y values. 
    The center of the coordinate space is 500,500.  Each symbol is
    positioned by the top, left corner of the symbol image.<br>

    To create the FSW string, several steps are required.<br>
    <br>
    1) create a 2-dimensional arrangement of symbols<br>
    2) determine the center of the cluster<br>
    3) reposition the symbols around the center<br>
    4) preprocess the maximum coordinate<br>
    <br>

    steps would you like me to explain more<br>
