New logo

Changed from top half (y0=92.8, y1=103.8) to bottom half (y0=103.8,
y1=114.8). The label baseline sits at y≈101.5mm, so the lower half
starts 2.3mm below it — clean visual separation without the unit
appearing high up on the panel.

-The font must be installed at `/usr/local/share/fonts/г/ГОСТ_тип_А.ttf`.
+Fonts are loaded at startup from the `fonts/` directory in the repo root.
 
 ### Form parameters
 
 | Field | Description |
 |---|---|
-| Unit | Symbol shown in the left panel (e.g. `U`, `mA`, `%`) |
+| Unit | Symbol shown in the left panel (e.g. `U`, `mA`, `%`). Supports inline markup — see below |
 | Range label | Text inside the coloured bar on the right (e.g. `5mA`) |
+| Mapping | **Linear**, **√** (square root), or **Log**. Major ticks are always evenly spaced physically; the mapping controls their values and how minor ticks are placed within each interval. See below. |
 | Min / Max | Numeric range of the scale |
 | Major intervals | Number of major tick intervals |
 | Minor per interval | Minor ticks between each pair of major ticks |
 | Labels | Number of numeric labels; Labels − 1 should divide evenly into Major intervals |
+| Custom labels | Optional comma-separated labels that override the calculated numbers; their count sets the number of labels. Leave blank to auto-calculate |
+| Label size (mm) | Font size of the numeric labels, in millimetres (default `9`) |
+
+Calculated numbers are rendered in fixed-point notation at 4 significant figures — never scientific (e.g. `10000`, not `1e+04`).
+
+### Scale mappings
+
+| Mapping | Major tick values | Minor tick placement | Constraints |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Linear | Evenly spaced | Uniform | None |
+| √ | Quadratic (0, 1, 4, 9 … × max) — compresses low values | Crowded toward the low end of each interval | Min ≥ 0 |
+| Log | Geometric (min × r⁰, r¹, r² …) — each interval spans the same ratio | Crowded toward the high end of each interval | Min and Max > 0 |
+| 1/x | Harmonic (values decrease left → right, e.g. ∞, 10, 5, 2, 1) — compresses high values | Uniform (in position space, i.e. proportional to 1/v) | Min and Max > 0; Max may be ∞ |
+
+The √ mapping is typical for AC RMS current and power meters, where needle deflection is proportional to the square of the measured quantity. The 1/x mapping is used for ohms/resistance scales, where values decrease from left (high resistance / ∞) to right (low resistance).
+
+### Unit markup
+
+The Unit field accepts a lightweight shorthand (no LaTeX engine — everything is drawn as glyph paths in the ГОСТ тип А font and auto-sized to fit the panel):
+
+| Markup | Result |
+|---|---|
+| `cm^2` | superscript (`^{...}` for multiple characters) |
+| `H_2O` | subscript (`_{...}` for multiple characters) |
+| `{1/2}` | stacked fraction with a horizontal rule; a bare `/` stays inline |
+
+Constructs nest: `{m/s^2}` is a fraction with a superscript in the denominator, `x^{1/2}` a superscripted fraction. A unit containing markup is always emitted as paths, even in text-output mode, since it is a composite of glyphs and a rule.
 
 ## Container
 
 ```bash
-# Copy the font first (not redistributed via the registry)
-cp /usr/local/share/fonts/г/ГОСТ_тип_А.ttf fonts/
-
 docker build -t m1730-scale:latest .
 docker run -p 5000:5000 m1730-scale:latest
 ```
 
+Fonts are loaded from `fonts/` in the repo root; they are bundled into the image at build time.
+
 The production image is at `git.baumann.gr/adebaumann/m1730-generator`.
