Toponym rings

Posted October 11th, 2009 by manethon

Dear Serge,

Any chance that a feature to make toponym rings might be added relatively soon? (That is along the lines of the cartouche and serekh features.) The middle of the toponym rings is already present; you would only need to add the ends.

thanks!

Actually on reconsideration, I wanted to clarify. The middle part of the rings is not already implemented for round toponym rings. The battlements are not so long as the one for rectangular forms.

As far as I am aware, there is not a single hieroglyphic text processor that can generate toponym rings at all.

As a matter of fact, the rosette project includes toponym rings. using as encoding.

Any chance something like that might be implemented into JSesh "soon"?

Battlements

On October 26th, 2009 Serge Rosmorduc says:

For square battlements, yes, although my currents priorities are:

  • better layout for editorial signs
  • Macscribe compatibility
  • Multi-document interface

But it might slip in at some time (it's probably two or three hours of work).
