problem in the symbol list

[Charles Butler]

Again, think hard.
   
  The thumb is being shown in a protruding position, from the point of view of the reader, it goes to the side, not toward you.

  I don't have probel with the dot...  the white hand (palm facing me) and the dark hand (back of the hand towards me)... it's just fine...

the problem is when the hand is to the side (palm facing left) both in the wall plane and in the floor plane... the first hand is correct but then all following hands have the thumb which is not in a protruding position but... only on the side of the hand... I think there is a problem... I haven't checked in SignPuddle if it's the same... I noticed that in the SignText offline version!

I'm not sure my question is clear!

  If you look at your hand, the thumb protrudes from the palm side (the white side) when seen edge on so it has to stick out perpendicular to the main body.  That's what the black dot on white and the white dot on black mean, that the finger is sticking out perpendicular (right angle) to the flat hand.  So the writtten position for the edge on hand is correct, and it must be coming out from the palm side, not from the back of the hand.

Val...   
 
while working on SignText this week-end... we notices something... in the 5hand group... select the configuration (see in my first sign)....   
 
the first side view symbol is correct... but then all the following show the thumb in a wring position (not potruding formward but to the side...   
see in the second and third side.... Is it an error or did I understand something wrong ?   
 
the white and black hand are perfect to me I just don't understand the side view hand (black and wite)
