Here are some examples of rotating eyegaze... The first two show the
way people write it right now, with the current software, but number 3
is the way we always did it by hand...you should see some of the
documents from the 1980's in Denmark by Bente Sparrevohn, who
transcribed storytelling in Danish Sign Language in SignWriting...her
documents had these circular eye gaze symbols all the time, but that
was because the documents were written by hand with ink pens...Maria -
please tell me if you have further questions...and have a great
honeymoon!  Val ;-)
