Combined Braille Sign Types
This document will outline the direct steps to combining braille translations on a desired sign or signs.
We go together like peanut butter and jelly... or combined braille translations.
There are two methods for combining braille in SignAgent. The first is done completely within the template.
Method 1: In-Template
This method involves using reference fields directly within the template. Instead of creating the usual templated text that has a field name and bounding box we will create text that is its own layer.
PROS: This messaging will stay current. If we were to update the "Room" field, the braille would translate and this would be reflected in the template.
CONS: Additional commands cannot be applied to this braille. It cannot be part of a repeating sign or align to any other objects. It will only write left-to-right on a single line.
In this example we are combining the braille translation of two fields called "section" and "room". The braille translated fields in SignAgent will be called "Section Braille" and "Room Braille". We put the field names in curly brackets and write "{section_braille} {room_braille}" directly onto the sign using our chosen braille font.
