Jack and Jill Title

[CWren at DOE.K12.GA.US]

OK, I know that rotation and travelling rotation are different, but... 
Take the sign for Christmas, for example.   is one of the ways it is 
written in the Puddle.  But its really not just a simple rotation...  it's 
arcing up and over as it rotates...  like this Can I create a curved 
travelling rotation in SignText/SignMaker? (Did this one in Paint)   Same 
idea with TITLE/QUOTE...  only the arcing movement is much smaller than in 
Christmas.  I always saw the straight line in the rotation arrows as 
representing the forearm, so I always tried to place it close to where the 
forearm would go...  Thats how my little brain made sense of the direction 
of rotation.  If the forearm attaches to the handshape like this... then I 
could SEE the rotation.  It made sense to me.  ::grin::

how is        different from  ?     one has the forearm vertical, the 
other is horizontal? 

        and             are another set of examples...  I don't have to 
write the rotation, even if it rotates, as long as I write the beginning 
and ending positions?


Hmmm.. Obviously I have some confusion on the issue of rotations...

Hi Cherie -
No ...nothing is moving down or side with the Rotation Arrows you 
chose...if you want to move down, then that is a different movement 
arrow...

To explain...The Rotation Arrows do not show any traveling. They mean 
"in one place", so even though they may look like they travel, they do 
not. The spoke or line through  the arrow means your forearm...the 
forearm stays in one place while the  rotation occurs around it, like an 
axis...the forearm is the axis or center of the rotation...

Meanwhile, the beginning position, no matter whether it travels or stays 
  in one place, must be at the beginning of the arrow, and the ending 
position must be at the end of the arrow...that is the logic behind 
beginning and ending positions...both positions do not have to be 
written as you know, but if you want them to actually move down 
diagonally then I can see why you wrote both positions...

We can discuss other ways to write QUOTE too...

See attached...
