Hi Asmaa Shaban,<br>
I am Jonathan Duncan the author of SignWriter Studio. I have
code that imports and exports to and from FSW and creates PNG of
signs. I don't currently have any for FSW to SVG document in
SignWriter Studio, that's my next little project. SignWriter Studio
is written in VB.Net which can converted be to C# or the DLL can
also be decompiled to C# with a utility like ".Net Reflector" or
"Jet Brains dotPeek". I would be happy to share some code to get
you started once I a get a clearer idea of what you need.<br>
<br>
Tell me a bit more about the project you are working on. So far I
understand that you want to do it in C#, and if I remember correctly
is this a web application so I would be assuming ASP.Net. Or is it a
desktop application? You want to type in Arabic Text and get Arabic
sign language. Much like the what Signpuddle can do here.<br>
<br>
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/translate.php?ui=1&sgn=84<br>
type in قديم كلمة مذكّر<br>
<br>
and get the signs that correspond to the words? Is this what you
want to program?<br>
By the way I don't know what those words are I just copied and
pasted them from the dictionary as an example.<br>
<br>
Also what programming languages are you familiar with? How long
have you been programming, what type of programs have you written in
the past?<br>
<br>
If you understand CoffeeScript or Javascript the
SignWriterLayoutEngline could give you another example of how to
parse an FSW string and how to position the SVG symbols. http://www.signwriterstudio.com/download/SignWriterLayoutEngine.zip<br>
<br>
The only logic that won't work for you there might be the IndexedDB
which you could swap out for the SQLite versions of the Refactored
font.

<br>
This is correct. We are using SVG primarily until the
TrueType Font is perfected.<br>

The FSW is the mathematical name of the sign. The SVG
image is created from the FSW.<br>

The SVG file is created from the FSW. The open source
project the "SignWriting Icon Server" is able to
create the SVG from the FSW. <br>
<br>
I just published the first release candidate for the
SignWriting Icon Server. You can grab the source from
Github and install your own, or you can use one of the
several existing SignWriting Icon Servers available
online. I would suggest the Wikimedia Labs based
server.<br>

<br>
Wikimedai Labs server: http://swis.wmflabs.org<br>
SignBank Server: http://signbank.org/swis<br>
<br>
Specifically, the "glyphogram.php" script is used to
create the SVG.<br>

<br>
You can call this script directly or learn to use the
SignWriting Thin Viewer for website in general.<br>
