This is a javascript based tool that uses the canvas object to draw symbols. Each symbol is defined using multiple curves and each curve consists of start, end and control point. The tool comes with two sets of curves with limited number of symbols, but more symbols and more sets can be created and added to the tool in the future. The tool allows decoration of the curves with images defined by user. While the tool features more than 20 options to customize it can be used in a simple configuration.
