About the flag images
Images are embedded in the page using the SVG vector format (much quicker than loading a separate image file) and eight sets of flag images are included with the following options:
* with or without outlines for ease of use on white backgrounds (including when printed)
* rectangular (4:3 aspect ratio) and square shapes for letter flags
* in ‘natural’ or ‘primary’ colours.
Development
Development for the Signal Flags plugin is hosted on GitHub.

FAQ
-
Why don’t these flags look like the ones we use at our club?
-
There are many variations in the shapes and designs of flags in use around the world. This plugin provides letter flags in square and 4:3 aspect ratios, but all the pennants are 2:1 and the triangle flags 4:3. Designs are a compromise based on experience mainly of flags commonly used in dinghy and yacht racing in the United Kingdom, and those supplied for use on yachts in the UK and Europe.
-
Can I change the colours?
-
This plugin provides flags in two different colour schemes:
*natural
which aim to look like real flags
*primary
which uses primary colours.We are looking at options for creating custom colour schemes in the plugin, and are also working on a tool to create custom flag files and upload them for use in the plugin.

Not at the moment, but we are working on a tool to create custom flag files and upload them for use in the plugin.
If you think a design is simply wrong then look at the support forum to see if this has already been discussed or start a new topic.
