We have developed, adapted, and borrowed symbols that we feel will be useful in tables. If you use these, be sure to save the symbols on your own server! Please, do not make a link to them.
Saving the Symbols
There are two ways to get the symbols. If you want them all, it is fastest to download the zip file and decompress it on your own machine. The alternative is to save the symbols you need one at a time.
| Grab all the symbols | Click here (138 K) and save the zip file on your own machine. There are a number of programs that are available to un-zip this file so that you can use the symbols. If you don't have such a program, check Stroud's utilities offerings for the latest programs. |
| Pick 'em individually | Save a symbol by copying it to your machine. Browsers differ in their
way to do this. Under Windows with popular browsers, you generally
point at the symbol you want, click with the right mouse button,
then choose an appropriate save option on a menu that appears.
Note that we present the Color Symbol Sets as panels, below. Click on the panel to get the individual symbols. Saving the panel won't do you any good. We've grouped them as panel to speed up the downloading. |
Click on the name or the symbols in the panel that follow to open up the set of individual symbols. Do not copy the panel itself.

Each of the following table cells is made up of an image that is just one dot. These are expanded to the desired size inside the table cell with the width= and height= commands.
Note that the right-most cell contains a transparent dot. It is very useful. Making a bar of a given size using this image lets you position things (like bars) above baselines or to the right of a table border.
