[sw-l] Please test new SignMaker with Drag and Drop

[Stephen Slevinski]

Bill,

I can fix the XY coordinates easy enough, but the mapping between SSS-US and
SSS-2004 does not yet exist.  And when the mapping exists, I will still need
to program the mapping.  I've got a headache just thinking about it.

Is the Y coordinate positive going down?  Yes. (0,0) is the top-left.  X
increases to the right.  Y increases going down.

-Stephen

  Stephen,
  Not enough information.  :-)
  You may be able to make a couple editing macros to correct the old build
files that are using the old SSS-US subset and also to correct for the XY
coordinates.

  I notice that you say that the present origin point of the XY coordinates
is at the upper-left corner and yet, the Y coordinates are positive.  Is the
Y coordinate positive going down?

    Hi Bill,

    I am storing the internal design of the signs added to Sign Puddle with
Sign Maker.

    I added the graphic drama with Sign Maker.  The image file is located:
    http://www.oculog.net/puddle/dict/sl/drama.png

    The information to build this file is located:
    http://www.oculog.net/puddle/dict/sl/drama.bld

    The contents of the build file is:

03-06-001-01-01-02,69,88,03-06-001-01-01-03,95,108,03-02-002-01-01-01,69,88,
03-02-002-01-01-03,95,108,

    To break this down, it is a combination of SSS id and XY coordinates.
    03-06-001-01-01-02 @ ( 69, 88 )
    03-06-001-01-01-03 @ ( 95, 108 )
    03-02-002-01-01-01 @ ( 69, 88 )
    03-02-002-01-01-03 @ ( 95, 108)

    The information in the build file can be used with a php script I
created: image.php.  Using this script is easy.

http://www.oculog.net/puddle/image.php?build=03-06-001-01-01-02,69,88,03-06-
001-01-01-03,95,108,03-02-002-01-01-01,69,88,03-02-002-01-01-03,95,108,

    Opening this page will display the symbol.

    So, it should be possible to edit existing symbols.  I just need to
create the design and add the code.

    Unfortunately, the previous signs added to the Sign Puddle dictionary
have problems with the build files.  Some of the symbols use the old SSS-US
numbers.  The other signs have the XY coordinates as the center of the
symbols, rather than the upper-left.  (Poor design choice)

    Probably too much information but...
    -Stephen

      Stephen,

      I noticed that Val managed to insert a whole sign.  I'm not exactly
sure how she did that, I couldn't find a way to do it just in the browser
itself.  That made me wonder if there could be a way to drop in an existing
sign in the dictionary and then change it?

      For that to be possible, each part of the sign would need to be stored
in the dictionary as part of the sign, similarly to how each letter of a
word is stored as part of the word in a dictionary or other document.  Is
this possible?

      Bill

No major problems yet?  Great to hear.  It even works on the Mac?  Awesome!

I am working on several additional features:
Delete individual signs
Fine tune movement
SignWriter controls: flip, rotate, ...

Then I'll install on SignBank and update the download.

-Stephen

Dear SW List, Stephen, Bill, Charles -
This is sooo cool. Really great design and quite impressive. Thank you,
Stephen.

Mac Safari Browser
I am now testing SignMaker drag and drop features on Safari, a browser
that was designed by the Mac for the Mac...It works well on Safari,
which is good, since most Mac users use Safari.

Take a look at the attached screen capture. I drag-dropped a whole
sign! The sign for THINK. But notice the 5-Hand down at the bottom.
That was a mistake and I wanted to clear that hand away...How do you
clear just one handshape, without clearing the whole sign?
