[Sw-l] Termology used in the dimensionality (perspective) of the Sutton SignWriting system

[Stephen Slevinski]

Here's what I wrote in a past internet draft.

"The are two main writing planes: the front wall (Frontal Plane) and the 
floor (Transverse Plane).  The choice of writing plane can affect the 
shape of the symbols, such as the fill pattern for the hand shape palms 
or the tail for the movement arrows."

"There are two perspectives: front and top.  The front perspective is a 
straight on view of/from the signer.  The top perspective is a top-down 
view of the signer.  Usually, a sign will be written from a single 
perspective."

So individual symbols will be written according to their alignment with 
a plane.

While the two-dimensional arrangement of the symbols in a sign will be 
affected by the perspective of front or top.
