ofn-text-along-path
#11
  • Create two curves, then use path-inbetweener to generate 40 intermediate paths ("Swing" stretch)
  • Using WIP ofn-text-along-path, add "ACCORDION" in "filled" layout on each
  • Generate a layer for each using stroke-or-fill-visible-layers
  • Generate the "back" move with mirror-layers
  • Export as GIF
  • Serve hot during lunchbreak

Testing some fixed and new capabilities.

Too big to use a GF attachment (about 1M). Fairly compute-intensive, nearly killed the PC doing that one... Will likely redo it with a more realistic wave travel. That could be a coincidence, but the more bendy the path is, the longer it is, and this just widens the character spacing enough to avoid overlaps.

  • Include spacer in the name of produced paths

Yet another update to fix a bug introduced by the previous update. Do I feel a moose coming?(*)

(*) a virtual coconut to those who recognize what this alludes to.

So to produce these rotated multi texts, one has to make a "star" path ?
How do you make, for example, a 12 sided star path ?

ofn-path-to-shape has all required functionality for this (called "spokes", in both "strokes" and "segments" functions).
