[Sw-l] SignWriting question from Korea

SignWriting List

In SignPuddle 2, all variations of a handshape are shown together, in one large Symbol Palette. The mirrored or flopped images are on the bottom of the Palette. In this case, that is what you needed.

In SignMaker 2017, you need to push the Mirror Button at the top right of the software window to see the mirrored images.

Please see two attached diagrams. Have questions? Write to the SignWriting List and I am happy to answer them. Val ;-)
