Re: [PD] Text projection in real time

[William Brent]

Hi João,

I used [text3d] in GEM for my "Typing Hero" piece at the last PdCon. It was
a piece for 3 networked laptop players to type text read in from a text
file to play Bach 3-part inventions. I found that [text3d] did everything I
needed and worked as expected for all the issues you mention, except that
handling long texts was an issue. Here's a video from that night:

You mean [text2d] for the Gem object... In term of performance, I prefer
to use [text3d]... depending of what you need.

Everything here is doable with [text2d]/[text3d].

Centering text is by default with [text2d]/[text3d]. You can change this
with the message "justify".
To cut a sentence after a word when a certain amount of letter is
present is not very difficult using [list fromsymbol], [list prepend
10], [list prepend string]/[list trim] (for text2d]/[text3d]).

You can even change line spacing with the message "linedist" on recent Gem.

[Berenger Recoules]

Have you tried ofelia ?  it's pretty new but there are some objects
available for text display and it should be pretty straigthforward with
[ofDrawText] and [ofSetTextMode]

https://github.com/cuinjune/ofxOfelia

It should pretty do-able with processing aswell.

Re: [PD] Text projection in real time

[Christof Ressi]

for text display the browser is a naturally choice. I once did some experiments 
sending and receiving Pd messages with a minimal websockets implementation and 
it worked fine.
