in General Discussion • Other • 2 months ago

i would like to convert the text into curves, than using curvePoint(); or bezierPoint(); add random points alongside the shape of the type/text.

is this possible?

I did that with the AWT methods, in the past, but perhaps it would be simpler to use the Geomerative library for this task.

I will try AWT methods, because I would like to use multiple lines of text and that seems to be a problem with the Geomerative library.

Basically I would like to generate random/noise points along the curves of text.

Isn't there a more simple solution to do that?

"simple" is rarely a word applying to programming (beyond the simplest examples).

I was not reflecting on the AWT methods. I wasn't sure if something completely obvious was in front of my eyes; that was the purpose of my question.

anyways, thanks.

Maybe you already tried this, but amonst the examples of Geomerative there's a "getPoints" example:

and the example will give you points of the text with given step:

and then you can connect the points to get the point shape.
