yeah. like i said it would probably need to be a little more
sophisticated depending on the use-case.
bringing the text box dimensions into the equation like Howard did
definitely makes sense.
i wasn't really up for going too deep into this late last night, so i
was just able to give kind of a hint
into the (hopfully) right direction ;)
@Rich: the number '5000' was trial and error and needs to be adjusted to
one's needs.
it should be replaced by some more sophisticated solution like Howard's
suggesting.
this still doesn't take multiple lines into account, though. for the
perfect setup it needs a bit more
thinking put into it, i'm afraid...
cheers,
Holger

This will resize as you adjust the box but the arbitary scale factor
at the end seems to vary depending on letter size (i vs o) as Ron
mentions.
So it's probably worth breaking it out as a new knob
(box.r-box.x)/[string length [value message]]*2

Hi Holger,
thanks for this.
I've been using this for a while now, but it quickly
becomes apparent that a word with a lot of 'l's and 'i's will need
to be bigger than a word with a lot of 'o's and 'c's.
Thanks,
Ron Ganbar

Hi Holger,
I've been trying out your suggestion and I am wondering where
the number 5000 came from? Is it somehow related to the
project's full size format setting or something else…?
Thanks,
Rich

hi Ron,
not 100% exactly what you're looking for, i guess, but maybe
a starting point.
put this expression into the size knob of the Text node:
5000/[string length [value message]]
works ok for one-liners (sometimes needs an additional
whitespace at the end).
needs a bit of playing with the value that suits your needs
best instead of '5000'.
and, of course, if you have line breaks in your text that
makes things more difficult.
in the worst case maybe you'd need a python function to
return the size value based
on more factors than just the number of characters.
cheers,
Holger

That would be good. Yes.
The only way I can think to do this is by calling up the
bounding box (don't confuse this with the Text node's box
property, I mean the dotted line bounding box - the
proverbial DOD) but that creates a feedback loop currently,
it seems.

Ron,
I'd love that, too. And, I'd add the ability for it to
scale up to fit. Essentially, a scale-to-fit would be great…

Hi guys,
can anyone think of a way to automatically control the
font size of text in the Text node so a line of text
always remains in the text box?
At the moment, if some text is longer than the box it
splits itself up and continues in another line. I want
the text to become smaller instead.
Any ideas?
