Simon Brown Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Several things: 1. I don't see the point of the rotate text option, given that it can be easily duplicated by creating text the usual way and rotating it. 2. I suggest placing it in Effects -> Render. 3. Anti-aliasing can be achieved by setting the graphics object's TextRenderingHint to AntiAliasGridFit. 4. Have to considered placing the text rendering code in a try/catch block with an in-place message to stop the plugin crashing with incompatible fonts.

A text becomes dim when I rotate it using "Rotate/Zoom" or "Move tool". "Ratate text" is sharp . 2. I agree. Surely , this is rendering tool than text tool. 3. Thank you. I did not know it. I try it later. 4. I think so , too . but I have no idea , now. :oops: anyway , many thanks! and , forgive my poor english.

dpy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 update added: I thought method to stop crash if (Amount2.IsStyleAvailable(FontStyle.Regular)==false) { Amount2 = new FontFamily("Arial"); } now, testing. if no problem , All right. Let's decide on this plan for now. added 9/29 now,testig pop up error message and testing new option clockwise circle text (maybe 2 or 3 day after), I upload new circle text, after debug.

barkbark00 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm not sure how open you are to suggestions, but please consider the following... It would be really cool if you could add an option to generate the text along a spiral. I'm thinking maybe a "random spiral" option and then a pop-out dialog for fine tuning the spiral effect... MadJik has a really awesome plugin that generates spirals or "volutes" and his source IS available. What do you think?

MadJik has a really awesome plugin that generates spirals or "volutes" and his source IS available. What do you think? It is very interesting suggestion. If I create it , it will be another plugin , not option of "circle text" . But sorry , I am not an excellent programmer like Madjik. However , it is possible to render one words repeatedly for the simple spiral. I tested it . Look at the "attachments". long text? Separate text by 1 character , like "circle text"? and render spiral? I do not know whether I can write a code for it. I will develop it , if you are OK that this is only repeatedly plugin. And , I will make a new thread , and upload test-version. BTW , I have to update "Circle Text" before it.

barkbark00 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Wow! That was quick! I'm fine with whatever works best for you. A separate plugin is better than no plugin, right? ;-) In your version, is there a way to control the angle of the expansion (the relative space between rings of the spiral)? Also, I see that it always starts displaying characters from the center. A way to control how many initial iterations are ignored would be nice. To be clear, I'd be happy if it was releases "as is". That screenshot looks awesome! Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spankie Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have downloaded many of the plug-ins located here and they are very good. This one seems like it will be fun to play with but I cannot seem to get it to download correctly. Unlike the other .dll's this one makes a folder within the "effects" folder and I cannot find it when I open Paint.NET and look under effects. Anybody wanna tell me what kind of brainiac mess I have made or how to get this working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Move the DLL out of the subfolder (and directly into the Effects folder) and it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpy Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thank you for help ,Simon Brown. and today , i looked the question about this plugin on "General Discussion & Questions". Post subject: Circle Text fonts spacing weird? New postPosted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 7:26 am I just started using the Circle Text plugin but I am having a hard time making the text evenly spaced. Some of the letters cram up next to others while others leave large spaces. Tried to manually space the letters to adjust them as well as tried different fonts but ran into the same problem. Which fonts work the best for Circle and Spiral text and is there a way to resolve the awkward spacing? Thanks much for any consideration and suggestions of this problem. Anser: It is impossible in this version . I did not think well about Proportional Font. Because , I am a Japanese , and Japanese font is almost Monospace Font. The English letter to be included in Japanese font is Monospace Font also. It fix by the next version.(maybe next Sunday) In this version , When you use the small letter,please use Monospace Font. In my PC's English Font , "BatangChe" "Courier New" "DotumChe" "GunsuhChe" "ISOCTEUR" "Lucida Consle" "MingLiU" "SimSun". These are OK Quote my Paint.net site(Japanese)|my Paint.net youtube(Strange English/Japanese) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
