(F1-F4)<br> It should be easy to link multiple points objects so as to make a much larger screen.<br> <br> Source Code: <a href="http://home.iprimus.com.au/knoware/webpage/Typer_2.py">Typer_2.py</a><br> <br> If 'ttfquery' can access ALL system fonts and with the use of points objects it would be possible to produce in-scene Control Panels.<br> Buttons, sliders, list boxes, input gadgets and graphical shapes would be easy to implement.<br> All mapped onto a pixelation Screen!<br> <br> <br> On 14/03/2010 2:46 AM, Bruce Sherwood wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:4B9...@nc..." type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> This sounds promising. When VPython was very new, as a kind of stop-gap I wrote the visual.text module for 3D text, but as you know it's very limited and should be replaced by something along the lines of what you're working on. <br> <br> At <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttfquery/files/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttfquery/files/</a> the .exe package for Windows requires Python 2.5, but I'm running 2.6, and it wasn't clear to me what files I should download to be able to build from source. Can you tell us?

There are some solutions here and there but needs to be put together.<br> <br> If you install the package ttfquery, then you can easily get font outline (contour) data for any font installed on your system, and use it for any (or let's ay most of the) character.<br> <br> I am trying to get 3D Text working for Vpython, for any font as above. For that, to be able to fill in the contours, we need a good triangulation method working in python. Again there are many, but I could not get any single one working. The so called best one comes from the OpenGLContext, but I could not get it going. I use "Triangle", aside, and its output is OK (after writing input-output interface programs), but then I could not "link" it to Vpython since it is an exe. I could not get the output array directly into my script without doing write/read to/from file.<br> <br> Once inside the contours is painted, then 3D is easy.<br> <br> Attached is a simple sample for drawing the contours with ttfquery.<br> <br> Kadir<br> </div> <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br> <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"> <hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Symion <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:kn...@ip..."><kn...@ip...></a><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Visual Python <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:vis...@li..."><vis...@li...></a><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sat, March 13, 2010 4:48:56 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Visualpython-users] Complete ASCII character set<br> </font><br> <meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off"> Here is a short program that has the Complete ASCII character set (32 to 126)<br> I have implemented it with a single Points object.<br> <br> Multi-colored<br> Variable size<br> Roughly based on Fixedsys font.<br> <br> Source Code: <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://home.iprimus.com.au/knoware/webpage/ASCII.py">ASCII.py</a><br> <br> <meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="on"> </div> </div> </div> <br> <pre wrap=""><hr width="90%" size="4"> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel&#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
