What does it all mean rev??? Tell me some icons youi would like and i'll knock them up when i get back from glastonbury, you know, like left poi here, right poi here, blah blah.

Here's my problems in a nutshell....

1) this diagraming I hope helps some people because damn all it takes forever.... Well not really but the end part of like the weave one.. Where they all are on the same line...that was fuggin long... But I look at it and use it to help me correct my mistakes when I'm spinning.. LMMFAO... Because though I can antispin no problem... Perfect beat circles are hard.. You know its the pattern vs a perfect planed pattern..

2) I'm limited... I only can make rough shapes.. Because I'm limited to straight edges...I can't round anything...

3) I try to make my key as plain and consistent as possible.. And iclude it with every post... Basically to avoid confusion I leave out arms.. But I put hand (R&L) to poi (r&l) I tell you the vantage... In almost all cases top down.... But some side... And in almost all cases up is further out and down is further back.. And * are used when indicating crosses.. Such as tangles or wrists... In this case the * just meand that your hands are crossed.. Not necessarily crossed at the *.... And the o and u indicate over vs under..

4) the next major problem is the wrist or any twisting motion...easy with tangles but hard with wrist and arms.. Think of twisting up for forward 5bt weave... Left side.. Before you go to the right aide you see left hand over right and then back under.. Graph that in 2d... Err.. Hence the I admit confusing Ou Over then under...

5) planes.. I can't put poi where they need to be so I have to do roughly 180 degree sections.. These can be side view top being top and bottom being bottom or top view top being forward and bottom behind... The only thing that I believe will help is to do a side and top view.. Where I can then situate two columns.. One showing side view evry 90 degrees and one showing the top view every 180 degrees next to its corresponding side view...
But some things still are problematic.. Wrist crossing and the like..

6) some graphics may help.. Poi head and hands maybe... And maybe a string in various shape patterns.. Which would help make a little nicer to look at... The dififcult bit would be what kind of graphic for the kind of crossups and whatnot...

edit: I got power back on finally after some horrendous weather and moved this.. suggestions for things that might help with the diagram icons or diagramming in general.. (looking to help further this as an alternative to plain text)..
