Typo Stretcher

[elektromeier]

i built this vvvv gamma patch as a little exercise on how to deal with typography and skia paths. its a copy of one of andre burniers fantastic typography works. it also uses the typospread node by bjoern.

theres also a node called “DrawTypospread” that shows how to draw the 2d pointlist from typospread, including holes, which might be usefull,

any tricks to improve or extend the patch are very welcome.

dl here.

I think the “typospread” was posted by @motzi :

TypoSpread in gamma?

This is very close to what we know from beta, but not exactly the same (each subpath will have at least one point). note: most of the credit for this goes to @tgd who posted a screenshot on how to sample multisegments a while a go in element - thanks for showing the way! [grafik] here’s the patch. devvvs might consider adding something like this to VL.Skia AlmostTypoSpread.vl (42.4 KB)
