Words Tree
« on: Mar 21st, 2003, 8:48pm »

Hello,  
a new applet I developped with P5 , combining splines and typography. I really like the way P5 is able to handle fonts, I'd like to know more about this featuring.

I've been really curious about creating our own fonts. Anyone else?

A very clean implementation. Complements.
 
Regarding future font loading, it's in our specification for the _BETA_ version of the software and Carlos scheduled to take care of this one.

Thank you.
I've another version of this, where words are considered as independent letters following the path of a cubic spline. The "difficult" trick was to display the letters regurlaly along the curve.

nice!!! (les tentacules...)
 
i'm also interested in writing text on paths, currently i essentially write on helices, like:

but i was planning to get to splines sometimes... so it's good to know other people that deals with it in P5!
 
i agree that getting "regular display" of the letters is hard, the best would be to be as linear as possible (mathematically speaking), for better accuracy and faster execution speed...
