Re: Sharing widgets (was Re: Type on an angle)

As it happens we¹ve been talking about that very issue internally today within our marketing team. This is a key priority for us, it has taken us longer than we would have liked but it needs to be moved up the queue and we will be doing that. I¹ll post something concrete on this next week. We did

And if your target is a static, image "in perspective" speed is not an issue.. This can be a production tool. then cut and paste. Yes, marvelous! BR On 11/20/16, 3:54 PM, "use-livecode on behalf of Scott Rossi"

This sounds great! I don't know the correct answer to the question, but I'd certainly like to see the widget. If nothing else perhaps you could share a dropboxlink or similar with the list. What is a good answer to zryip's question below, where should interesting third-party widgets be

Re: Type on an angle

This is great. True, it runs a bit slowly in 7/8, but scripted image calculations have always been this way, and having any option at all in LC to do this type of manipulation is very welcome. A few of us have been wanting something like this for years. Thanks for this great example. Regards,

Thanks everyone my responses is "All of the above" -- snapshot really has major issues with returning bit map -- widgets all look great and I think they all have their use cases. -- @ HH stack with perspectives is awesome, thank you! -- @ Bernd: your HTML5 demo is amazing! Where can I can we

Re: Type on an angle

Hi, The only widget I created so far is an orientable text with the following properties: - label - angle - font name - font size - font color - font color opacity - background color - background opacity I created it long time ago with the very first LC version supporting widgets and have

Re: Type on an angle

I do ALL my graphics externally except for snapshots of textFields. To turn a textField should be no more complicated than: 1. export snapshot of textField (border? backGroundColor? textColor? font?), 2. rotate it in graphics package of choice (GIMP, Photoshop, etc.), 3. import into stack as

Could you import snapshot from rectangle the rect of field 1, then set the angle of the image? You would need to add the left and top of the card window I guess, to get the right part of the screen. ___ use-livecode mailing list
