SignWriting List December 21, 2001 QUESTION FROM ZURICH PROJECT: >2) re. left right placement >Do I understand you rightly, that in the horizontal .SGN file we send >you, we take no note of left-right placement? (Which is anyway hard to >do in the horizonal layout, right?). This means that we add the >left-right placement later... VAL'S ANSWER 1: Right and left placement can be typed horizontally. We do it all the time. I will show you in the next message... Right and left placement is read better and understood better in vertical columns though. So please type the right and left placement horizontally in SignWriter 4.4. Otherwise, I cannot know the placement, unless you show me a Quicktime video clip of the sentence. When I say I will place a sentence in vertical columns for you, I meant that I will do it correctly from the beginning, so that when you receive the vertical column in a graphics file, you will not have to make any changes to it later. The layout artist can just paste it into the document on her computer...without any glue or paper...and without changing anything. Val ;-) ------------- PS. I have a term for "right and left placement". I call it "Spatial Comparisons". Here is an article on the web about it: Spatial Comparisons https://www.SignWriting.org/lessons/grammar/vertical/vert005.html ------------- |
