Hi Stephen, I heard there was a group that needed sign SVG, so I replaced the link for sign SVGs in SignPuddle 1.6. Eventually, the customize sign page will include SVG. Currently, ColumnMaker supports SVG for sign texts rather than individual signs. The graphics are being produced by the SignWriting Image Server (SWIS). If you modify the HTTP request, you can modify the graphics created. If we consider this image link: http://signbank.org/signpuddle1.6/glyphogram.php?style=svg&name=hello&text=AS14711S22a07S2ff00M47x17S2ff00n18xn18S22a0734xn25S1471119xn14 The substring "style=svg" is the important part. You can add a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 to the end of svg to produce "style=svg1", "style=svg2", "style=svg3", "style=svg4", or "style=svg5". The default SVG, "style=svg" or "style=svg1", is an active work in progress of manual refinements. I have the latest updates from Adam Frost, but I haven't packaged them for SWIS yet. The other 4 SVG options are based on polygon tracing. The 5th SVG style is very interesting. There are 4 styles of PNG: png1, png2, png3, png4. Simply modify the image link. There is even a ASCII style: "style=txt". http://signbank.org/signpuddle1.6/glyphogram.php?style=txt&name=hello&ksw=AS14711S22a07S2ff00M47x17S2ff00n18xn18S22a0734xn25S1471119xn14 Check out the ISWA Font Library for more details: http://www.signpuddle.net/iswa For any graphic produced by the SWIS, you can add custom attributes to the graphic URL. Beyond the style attribute, you can also use... * size=1 - Any decimal value, such as .5 is small and 2 is larger * pad=0 - Any positive number for a padded border around the sign * bound=c, v or h - Type of bounding box: Centered, Vertical, or Horizontal * line = 000000 - Color string of line * fill = ffffff - Color string of opaque fill pattern for some symbols * back = ffffff - Color string of background * colorize = 1 - Flag to colorize symbols based on symbol feature Here a slightly longer URL with additional options: http://signbank.org/signpuddle1.6/glyphogram.php?bound=h&size=2&colorize=1&back=ddffdd&style=svg&name=hello&ksw=AS14711S22a07S2ff00M47x17S2ff00n18xn18S22a0734xn25S1471119xn14 Notice the "bound=h" which sets a horizontal bounding box and puts the center of the head at the center of the image. Notice "size=2" for a larger size. Notice "colorize=1" that changes the line color based on symbol feature. Notice "back=ddffdd" which sets a light green for the background color. Hope that helps, -Steve
