Flags and standards

Ratio of heights

This is an schema to draw and standard. I do not use a fixed geometry, but in this case, I draw a 1/2 ratio between hightest side h at the flagpole and the diameter d of the circle on the end (see the lines and text Gules in the schema). The lenght of the standard depends on the bearer range and the kingdom, there are tables, but I only use them under the bearer instrucctions.

How to split the motto

Be aware about how to split the motto, the 1^st line on the left (from the observer point of view, the heraldic dexter) and the 2^nd line on the right (from the observer point of view, the heraldic sinister).

Coat of arms inside the standard

The coat of arms is near the flagpole and I use to make enough space for a shield with a 5/6 ratio between its base and its height (lines and text Vert in the schema).
