 How to find the Symbols
All the symbols are available for display on screen in the main PDF (Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format) files -
one file each in English, Spanish and French. Clicking anywhere in the main Introduction Screen takes the user directly
to the Contents page, which provides links - marked as blue boxes around the menu items - to the four categories of
symbols:
1) The International Maritime Dangerous Coods Code Labels, Marks and Signs
2) Symbols for Fire Control Plans
3) Symbols Related to Life-Saving Appliances and Arrangements
4) Symbols from the Code on Alarms and Indicators
Each category gives an overview of available symbols with direct links to pages which contain thumbnails of these
symbols, descriptive text, instructions on use, colours and a list with the name and location of the digital files of the
symbols. Clicking on the thumbnail of a symbol activates a link to a page where this symbol is displayed larger. Clicking
somewhere in the middle of that page takes you back directly.
Please note that the quality of the symbols displayed is influenced by several factors - they have been compressed for
use within the PDF files, the quality of your computer monitor etc. See also the chapter “Files containing the Symbols
in digital form” >>>
 Files containing the Symbols in digital form
In the PDF files (see also the chapter “How to find the Symbols”) the pages containing thumbnails of the symbols give
a list with the name and location of the digital files on the CDROM. Each symbol is present in three different formats:
1) As a large Windows bitmap image (L*.BMP) - most of these images have a format of 480 x 480 pixels and are
in 16 colours/4 bit.
2) As a smaller Windows bitmap image (Sym*.BMP) - most of these images have a format of 240 x 240 pixels and
are in 16 colours/4 bit.
3) As a smaller CompuServe Graphics Interchange image (Sym*.GIF) - most of these images have a format of 240
x 240 pixels and are in 16 colours/4 bit.
Where the symbols themselves contain text there are 3 different language versions present, one each for English, French
and Spanish. Which language version a file is - if there is more than one available - can be seen by a letter which
immediately follows the number of the relevant symbol (“e” for English, “f” for French and “s” for Spanish) e.g. the
large bitmap file for “Emergency Exit” in the Symbols related to Life-saving appliances and arrangements has three
versions which are named: Lsym36e.BMP, Lsym36f.BMP and Lsym36s.BMP .
Important Note: A List of All image files is available in easily printable format on the CDROM: \IMList.TXT
See also the chapter “Tips on the use of the Symbols in digital form” >>>
 Tips on the use of the Symbols in digital form
There are many programs available for displaying and editing digital images. Windows 3.x comes standard with the
program Paintbrush which supports the *.BMP format. Windows 95 and 98 come standard with the program Paint
which supports the *.BMP format. Other programs also support the CompuServe Graphic Interchange format (*.GIF) -
this format is widely in use for display within HTML frames on the Internet as it has a high compression, which has
advantages in both download time and portability.
Note on colours of the digital images:
The colours of the symbols on this CDROM are officially described in text from the IMO instruments from which they
are derived i.e. the symbols from the Code on Alarms and Indicators come from this Code, as also described in the
annexes to IMO Resolutions A.686(17), MSC.39(63) and A.830(19), which gives the colours as “Red”, “Amber”,
“White” etc. The bitmapped images have been produced in 16 colours/4 bit format for the following reasons:
a) more colours were not necessary, b) size of the files and c) editing images with more colours requires both programs
and a computing environment not widely available to the end-users.

For users of the program PaintShop Pro the pallet file used for production of the digital images is provided in the directory \PSP
on this CDROM, \PSP\Symbols.PAL - a shareware version of PaintShop Pro is downloadable at http://www.jasc.com
