Geomerative concentric circles not starting on font outline

hondaman900

I'm using Geomerative to get thr points of a font outline, but when I use a font with concentric circles, the circle start/end point is off the line making for a weird distortion. I've played with settings and the setPolygonizerAngle to no avail. It's hard to figure out what all the parameters do but so far I've not been able to fix this. Does anyone have similar experience and/or a solution to this issue? Here's the ttf font on-screen:

Here's the points rendered:

Code is as follows (edited out of other aspects of the program):

if (lines[q] != null) {   // q is just the line number indicating which of 3 lines of text we're working on

      pushMatrix();
      translate(0, q * 72);  //spaces lines apart - adjustable

      RShape shp = RG.getText(lines[q], combo1.selectedText() + ".ttf", int(tagFontSize[q]*fontScale), CENTER);   // font value from drop-down list

   RG.setPolygonizer(RG.ADAPTATIVE);
   RG.setPolygonizerAngle (PI/4);   // Changing this value (0- PI/2) has no effect

   shp = RG.polygonize(shp); 
   shp.scale(0.4);
   RPoint[][] pointPaths = shp.getHandlesInPaths();


//Cycle through points & draw them

  for(int i = 0; i<pointPaths.length; i++){

if (pointPaths[i] != null) {
     println("WE HAVE POINTS L1 "+q);

      idx=idx+1;


      beginShape();

      for(int j = 0; j<pointPaths[i].length; j++){

      vertex(pointPaths[i][j].x, pointPaths[i][j].y);

        //Dots only to show locations of nodes
        stroke(255,0,0);
        ellipse(pointPaths[i][j].x, pointPaths[i][j].y, 2, 2);
        stroke(0,0,0);

       }

      endShape();
    } 
}
   popMatrix();
     }

your pointPaths look like they are actually handles because you're calling getHandlesInPaths()

documentation is sparse but there's this:

"getHandles

public RPoint[] getHandles()

Use this to return the start, control and end points of the shape.
It returns the points in the way of an array of RPoint. "

so i'm thinking you're getting control points as well as path points.

there is a getPointsInPaths(). can you try that?

Okay, good suggestion, but I'm afraid it made little difference. Also, other non-curve paths start just fine.

Here's a pic of the output using this edited code:

RPoint[][] pointPaths = shp.getPointsInPaths();

Anyone have any additional suggestions?

Bump - anyone.....?
