Hi-
It's been some four years since a major new release of PowerTools, and
with the 2022 LiveCode conference out of the way for now, I think it's
time to release PowerTools 2.2.
What's in PowerTools:
* Logical separation of tools from objects
* Double-click to minimize/restore size
*
The LC DevCon is so much fun it seems fitting to add one more session
off-schedule and completely informal: a Zoom after-party.
Come and hang out anytime today (Weed, 27 April) from 6:00 PM EDT until
6:40 PM EDT.
That gives us an hour after the close of the last session to take a
moment
I looked at this some years ago. I forget why I wanted to do it (a logo,
perhaps?).
My conclusion was that the best way would be to write it as either eps or
postscript.
This gives you something that can be trivially rotated without loss, but the
catch is that you have to then feed it to
The polyLine character substitution will be a simple. Creation will be a bear,
but only once.
If you had “Hello World” and wanted to “curve” it, you would simply pull the
appropriate curved chars, “H”,, “e’, “l, etc. and string them together.
Uh oh, what about kerning? I hope this is a
I watched the keynote by Kevin, and I think all your concerns are slated to be
addressed.

Folks,
I made a vertically oriented y axis text label for a data plot once. The text
was written in a field with a transparent background, then a screen capture of
the text field area, then rotating the captured image 90 degrees. It worked
great. Obvious limitation was that the background was

In a later session they said it was just a mock up at this point. When
asked about supporting multiple monitors they said it would, and they'd
need to consider tear-off windows.

Hi Craig,
The text will mostly be names at start (but could also be more words in the
future).
Draw with polyLines. Didn't think of that. A lot of coding I think.
Then I could also use SVG files to replace the text of the field.
Maybe easier to enlarge, rotate a bit and give another

There is not a native way to do this in LiveCode.
An approach might be to use the shell() function (see Dictionary) to
pass the text to some external graphics utility that renders and image
of it curved and then import the image back into Livecode. There may be
other work-arounds.

How large is this curved text?
You could certainly create an entire alphabet with polyLines, and insert them
as needed to replace a body of text. But if you need 12 point size, those
graphics are going to be, er, difficult to do nicely.

Hi There,
I am in the need for curved text.
User input via a text field need to have a copied curved text output.
Is this even possible in Livecode?
I was thinking of text to the points of a path? Something like that?
Greetings William

yeah, well, they not only discussed it, but they demo'd it, and seemed to
be amped about it, so i'm concerned.
