The construction details given in Album des
Pavillons (2000) Corr 1. should
match the new specifications adopted in 2000. The new
specifications are documented in the Flag Bulletin, September-October
2000.
Željko Heimer, 12 April 2003
The construction of the 1999 flag drawn by Željko Heimer is absolutely
correct according to the very detailed instructions contained in Articles One
and Two of Fundamental Law ("loi organique") No. 99-56 of 30 June 1999 as
published in the 'Journal Officiel de la Republique Tunisienne' No. 54 (P.1088)
of 06 July 1999.

The flag construction scheme before year 2000 was posted to me by Christopher
Southworth, as he explained previously, based on the Flag Institute model but
without indication of the source on which it was based. This pattern was presumably taken into usage after 1957, but
whether this was exactly
specified somewhere we don't know.
Željko Heimer, 12 April 2003
The construction details of the pre-1999 flag drawn by Željko Heimer from a
Flag Institute specification supplied by myself are absolutely correct according
to a precise "Description of the Tunisian Flag" (worded as if taken from the
relevant law?) supplied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Secretariat
of the Kingdom of Tunisia. This is unfortunately undated, but almost certainly
comes from a period between 20 March 1956 and 25 July 1957. The end reads: "NB.
This description replaces any former description".

I have to ask, however, whether the figures for the size of the star have been
rounded slightly. On the pre-1999 flag it is 40/180 of the flag's width, i.e.,
22.22%. it is now 18/80 of the flag's width, i.e., 22.50%. This seems like a
fiddlingly small change (0.25cm for a 90cm-hoist flag) and probably makes no
practical difference, but it would be interesting to know whether some rounding
has occurred.
James Dignan, 03 February 2004
No alteration or rounding has occurred; it is just that the two flags are
constructed by different rules giving slightly different sizes. The star on the
1956 flag is created within an imaginary circle whose diameter is 2/3 the
diameter of the outer arc of the crescent which is itself 2/3 the diameter of
the central white disk. In the 1999 flag, the star is contained within an
imaginary circle whose diameter is equal to 15% of flag length. The central
white disk is one-half the width of the flag in both cases. The main difference
actually lies, as we know, in the overall size and shape of the crescent.
