In handwriting you can do almost any shading you want, the programming to be adapted for all, or many of the other handshapes, makes adding another 186 handshape orientations to the 6 x 96 already in existence makes it very difficult.  
   
  Sometimes handwriting, rather than computer-driven, actually gets you what you want when the current IMWA is not completely up to the task.

  Hi Val and all,

I have already written about this topic, but with no respond at all.
As you know we use SignWriting in new dictionary that is being made at University here.
It is not always clear to write handshape in orientation "black", "halfblack", "white". 
It allows only rotations by 90°, but in other directions it is possible to rotate handshapes by 45°.
So we need to rotate handshapes by 45°  in all directions .. is it possible to make it somehow?
I found there are just one handshape that allows this. -  it is turned 45° to default. 

So if we combine this two orientations (se attachments) of one hanshape we get rotations by 45°.
Is it possible to do it at least in this way for more hanshapes?

thanks
Honza
