Could someone please explain how to use text in scriptographer 0.1?
there is no basic script in the documentation that I can use as a starting point.
basicly:
how do I add text to the canvas?
how do I change the appearance (font / size / weight)?
if there is anything I can do for this site (the new one) let me know,.. I am an able xhtml/css/php/mysql scripter and graphic design student
later,
wouter
thanx Simon,
I found your work-around (letters on layers) on your blog. Will give that a try :)
ok, so far I got this.. and it works, but not really pretty, because it will create a copy of the letter on the same layer on wich the letter resides. What I would like for it to do, is create a new layer and put all text on that.
// output text
var distance = 80; // monospace, could also be the width of object
var text = "hello world";
function output_text(){
var length = text.length;
distance1 = distance;
for(var i=0; i<length; i++){
if(text.charAt(i)==" "){
distance1 = distance1+distance;
} else {
var obj1 = layers[text.charAt(i)].firstChild;
var obj2 = obj1.clone();
obj2.transform(new Matrix().translate(distance1,0));
distance1 = distance1+distance;
}
}
}
output_text();
hey Jonathan, had niet verwacht hier een Nederlander tegen te komen!
Maar even snel CS2 installeren dan (arme student ;)
Anyway. Thnx for the heads up Lehni :)
