The Egyptian Hieroglyph Quadrat app for iPhone, iPad and Mac allows you to visually design common hieroglyphic quadrats
A quadrat is a rectangular arrangement of glyphs that is æsthetically pleasing with reduced unused space on stone or papyrus.
Type your hieroglyphs using the virtual Middle Egyptian hieroglyph keyboard in this app.
You can choose from a number of common quadrat layouts, type your hieroglyphs and fine-tune their size and position within a quadrat, then copy a PNG image that you can paste into your word-processing app. You can also save quadrats to your device
These common quadrat formats won't let you recreate all the layouts you may find on Egyptian inscriptions, but should support most commonly-found layouts
Note: this app does not support every possible quadrat layout, it has limited export options and it is based on Unicode, Leiden Unified Transliteration and the sign list in Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar, third edition
The Quadrat app idoes not use MdC encoding or transliteration but allows you to copy a quadrat as an MdC sequence with Gardiner sign codes, for import into other applications such as JSesh on Mac
