Hi all, I am making a 2D game and i am currently working on variable-width bitmap fonts to use in the game. I have already written code to load an image containing the characters and display text on screen in the chosen font but up until now i have just set the width of each character to be all the same (fixed-width).
Now i have modified it so that it reads in a list of numbers from a file and sets each character's width to the respective number in the list. All of that works but i now need a way of getting those numbers so i thought someone might help me make a GIMP script that can do it. Basically, i have an image which contains the characters on a 16x8 grid. I will need to find the first line on the x axis which does not contain all transparent pixels and the last line, relative to the current cell (and will loop through all cells). Then i can calculate the width as last-first. I also need to display/print these widths as text so that i can easily copy/paste to a text file. Here is a diagram of what i need to do: [img]http://img374.imageshack.us/my.php?image=charwidthhz0.jpg[/img] Any help would be appreciated (and i would *really* appreciated it if someone could do it for me :).) Oh, and i am using GIMP 2.6 on WinXP. thanks -- none _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
