Hello,
for a CD-Cover I have to fit a given text into a fixed box. I have tried to
achieve this with the help of mag-0010 "Good looking shapes" but was not
successful :-(
Can you help me with this?
The conditions:
- the text is of fixed length
- the area is of given size (has a given ratio)
- the text has to fit completely inside this area
- the last line must be justified, too
- the fontsize of the text is the variable that can be changed
- I have the current minimal context installation
and as an addition:
- if possible the words should not be hyphenated at all or hyphenated
at an arbitrary character without a hyphenation mark (the text
consists of names)
A possible algorithm (similar to the one from mag-0010)
1 start with a small box with the given ratio
2 fill the text into the box
3 if all text fits in with a small penalty we are ready
4 make the box a bit larger
5 goto 2
Unfortunately, I'm not able to understand the code from the mag nor can I code
the algorithm in context ...
I would appreciate any input on this problem!
Thank you
Uwe Koloska
