Monogram

Monogram

The <monogram> element defines a monogram decoration, combining custom lettering and optional ornament artwork into a single design element.


XML structure

<monogram>
   <monogram_lettering ... />       <!-- Lettering details for the monogram -->
   <monogram_ornament ... />    <!-- Optional ornament for decoration -->
   <transform ... />                        <!-- Optional transform -->
</monogram>


Components

A monogram consists of two main parts plus a transform option:
Element
Purpose
Defines the lettering for the monogram — initials, arrangement, font style, etc. This uses the same basic principles as other lettering elements but is specialized for monogram layouts.
Specifies the ornamental design that decorates the monogram. Examples: frames, flourishes, borders, or decorative motifs that wrap around the letters. Including an ornament is optional — you can design a simple text-only monogram by omitting this.
The monogram supports an optional <transform> to position, scale, or rotate the entire monogram as needed in the overall design.

Remarks

  1. Combines personalized lettering with optional decoration.
  2. Fully positionable with <transform>.
  3. Flexible for creating elegant custom monograms for garments, linens, or promotional products.


Example

<monogram>
   <monogram_lettering

      style="CircleFrame"
   />
   <transform

      y_offset="15"
      rotation="0"
