Choice of data entry interface for street signs

04.2021

The project Street Sign Generator needed a simple and fast mechanism for entering the street and house number. And I wanted to immediately see the approximate appearance of the future Sign. But since all layouts are variable — that is, the size depends on the content — the solution to this problem did not come immediately. And if a different character width is a solvable problem, then different styles on the same line have become a stumbling block.

Having tried 3 options for displaying previews, I now know almost all the pros and cons of different solutions. For the development of future tablets or signs, this store of knowledge and developments, of course, will come in handy.
