AW: [sw-l] New SignMaker Review

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Steve, Valerie and sw-list friends -- 

 

well this is great. 

 

I love to use this grid option to find the right placement vor the faces ...


 

.. and Val thanks for all these new symbols - smile - especially new arm
lines ... 

 

and I could identify some handshapes for our Ethiopian friends ... that is
great! 

 

..and big and small movement circles ... and  ha - watch out for the
eye-movements -- that is so cute! 

 

What a genious achievement ... 

 



 

Stefan ;-))

Hi List,

 

I'm almost done with the new SignMaker for the ISWA.  This be will used 

in SignPuddle 2 and released with the SignWriting Image Server GPL code:

http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/swis/signmaker.php

 

Improvements

==========

Small Screen Support

----------------------------

The entire SymbolPalette now fits on the screen without scrolling.  We 

may need to discuss the size of the SignBox, which has increased.  Can 

you see the whole SignBox and all of the Special Commands?

 

 

SignSpelling Sequence

-----------------------------

The sequence is now on the same screen as the SignBox.  You can write 

the sign and add the sorting information at the same time.  The sequence 

is the little square box on the top right.  You can drag a symbol from 

the SymbolPalette or the SignBox.  You can reorder the sequence by 

dragging the symbols around.  You can remove symbols from the sequence 

by clicking.  Blank boxes in the sequence are ignored.

 

 

Fine Movement and Grid

--------------------------------

There are now directional arrows in the special command section for fine 

tuning the placement of symbols.  Select a symbol (so it turns blue) and 

move it around 1 pixel at a time with any of the arrows.  If no symbol 

is selected, all symbols will more.  The icon in the middle of the 

arrows will turn on the SignBox grid for easier spatial comparison.

 

 

I've tested the new SignMaker in FireFox and Internet Explorer on Mac 

and Windows.  The only problem is with IE and the fine movement arrows.

 

Any feedback or comments are welcome.

 

Thanks,

-Steve
