[Motion-user] Character Scaling Idea

[Andrew H. <ham...@mc...>]

Hello every one.  I have seen that some people would like Motion to be able to 
scale characters to a larger size (especially for large images).  Attached is 
a quick example program of how it could be done.  Please note that this 
example uses my earlier patch 
(http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NewDrawTextMethod).

Hypothetically, a new config file option would be needed, like 
'scale_char_size' or something, that would be an integer from 0 to ?.  If 
this is set to a positive value, Motion would scale each character during 
initialization into a data structure, and all character drawing from then on 
would be done using this data structure.

Just throwing this out there as an idea.  One problem that I see with this 
specific example, is that characters become very blocky as the size is 
increased.  I'm sure there are other (better) ways of doing this, but it is 
1:02am so what do you expect. :)

Sincerely,
Andrew Hamilton
