Each category gives an overview of available symbols with direct links to pages which contain thumbnails of these
symbols, descriptive text, instructions on use, colours and a list with the name and location of the digital files of the
symbols. Clicking on the thumbnail of a symbol activates a link to a page where this symbol is displayed larger. Clicking
somewhere in the middle of that page takes you back directly.
Please note that the quality of the symbols displayed is influenced by several factors - they have been compressed for
use within the PDF files, the quality of your computer monitor etc. See also the chapter Files containing the Symbols
in digital form >>>
As a large Windows bitmap image (L*.BMP) - most of these images have a format of 480 x 480 pixels and are
in 16 colours/4 bit.
2)
As a smaller Windows bitmap image (Sym*.BMP) - most of these images have a format of 240 x 240 pixels and
are in 16 colours/4 bit.
3)
As a smaller CompuServe Graphics Interchange image (Sym*.GIF) - most of these images have a format of 240
x 240 pixels and are in 16 colours/4 bit.
Where the symbols themselves contain text there are 3 different language versions present, one each for English, French
and Spanish. Which language version a file is - if there is more than one available - can be seen by a letter which
immediately follows the number of the relevant symbol (e for English, f for French and s for Spanish) e.g. the
large bitmap file for Emergency Exit in the Symbols related to Life-saving appliances and arrangements has three
versions which are named: Lsym36e.BMP, Lsym36f.BMP and Lsym36s.BMP .
Important Note: A List of All image files is available in easily printable format on the CDROM: \IMList.TXT
