Random Alphabet background generator.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Sat Apr 23, 2016 10:27 pm **(#1)**

this topic gave me an idea http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=13940
So i did a script that generates random abc's with random color.

Attachment:

Random_Font.scm [2.11 KiB]
Downloaded 227 times

will be available under Script-Fu/Create New/random font (although i probably should have called it random characters or something)
here is the option window for the script

I'll randomly create number of characters specified by options and random color of the font chosen and move it to a random spot on the image. You'll end up with many layers, just "Merge Visible Layers" to flatten it afterwards and use it as background to any shape you like like a large letter.
like this

Fontster Mash

I was working on the tab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my fonts from the tab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

They did the mash, they did the fontster mash
The fontster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash
They did the mash, they did the fontster mash...

Mashed & abridged from Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash"

It is good but it would have been more useful if the user were a given a control over the choice of alphabet or 'word'.

Did it on a transparent layer, merged layers then mapped to sphere.

for some reason transparent goes black in G'MIC

white background

I ran the script twice before path - shape creator

Is there any chance of modifying script to only add letters within a selection

Sounds like you and Rashid on on the same train.
Maybe a script that does this and an Alpha to logo.

I guess if the selection was rectangle or square but i wouldn't know how to limit it to an odd shape selection since all i do now is move (translate) it to a (rand width) (rand height).

Wow so many beautiful creations... I am excited. :mrgreen:

(if (> (car (gimp-selection-value image (rand width) (rand height))) 0)) you are inside the selected area regardless of it's shape

cool. thanks
I'll look at my script tomorrow and change it so that it'll randomize inside selection and maybe even cut it to selection too.
