illustrator, beziers
May 4th, 2008, 7:32pm  
hi im working on a type based project at the moment in processing.

i have made the letters in illustrator and where im upto can be seen at
www.greenbuddha.com/type - you press 'a' to draw a new letter.

im currently importing the 'K' as an svg via candy.

I applyed a 7pt stroke at 40 degrees in illustrator to create the glyph that you see in the above patch. i want to apply a variable width 40degree stroke following the monoline bezier curve.

I would also like to be able to modify points and curves more than candy allows for (it only allows scaling) so how would i go about reading the actual bezier values into processing for further manipulation?


thanks in advance!
mike

Geomerative library (see libraries page) is what you need.

And i have an Illustrator script (AI CS2) here that will export your AI draings to Processing code:

I downloaded your script, but it just opens in Dreamweaver for me.  How do I actually use it?  Sorry if this is a stupid question.

double-clicking won't work.

open illustrator, draw something, save it to somewhere (important), run "File->Scripts->Other script" from the menu and select my script. it's pretty much faceless, so you won't see much happening. the script generates a .pde file next to your drawings file, this is the processing code generated from your drawing.
