Words To Circles (scheme script)

These will all work.

You just can not cap the first letter or it will not work.

What is strange is that your default GimpChat works. ThankYou or ThankYouTran will not. The last letters are cut off and a new text layer is created with those letters on it.
WereGood works so perhaps it isnt the cap thing after all. Some combinations work some do not. I tried a dif type face and ThankYouTran and ThankYou works.

Try the latest version..
I just manually create each letter to grab the width then remove it right after it's kind'a hack to see ahead of time what widths i am dealing with and i was able to solve OMG's bug.

I will try the latest one.

That hack worked well! :bigthup

the layers emerge perfect for an animation (just set to combine)

Trandoductin - Some 'erratic' examples as per my PM response - maybe its me or the southern hemisphere ... or is that the expected result with the extended features of say the green 'y' and 'g' example or the uppercase 'N' and 'T' examples?

I have no idea what causes that.
Maybe detailed settings so i reproduce this and try to figure out why.

So previously i manually added spacing between letters myself...
I have removed that so now letters just get perspectived into place next to each other with no spacing calculated and it looks better i think.
I just a little padding on left and right of word so that the letters don't get totally perspectived into zero corners...too small to see.
OMG give this latest version release #7 a try (posted in 1st post).
I also added release notes to hopefully keep Grachaen happy. :hehe

I had to try animation after Grachaen's suggestion.
I didn't see an option to set to combine maybe i missed it but it just works as default export as .gif.

Happy New Year

Trandoductin - OK; downloaded new version from Post # 1 expecting it to be release #7 as you advised; however, in the script it says version #5.

Whatever, ran it with some outrageous fonts and long words and it looks OK. So, as always, thank you for your scripts :clap

whooops... i forgot to change the title release number but i have notes for 7 releases.

Graechan · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2016 7:13 pm **(#36)**

Release 7 is great, GimpChat is a perfect environment to release a new script as we can help you to perfect it.
It's nearly unbreakable now :bigthup

Thanks Grachaen for all your tips and help... :hi5

Just made a simple one to post on a friend's kid's birthday's post on facebook.
I was going for the Chinese typical colors for celebrations...

Gotcha 'l-system_v12.scm' (turtle graphics) if loaded will interfere with your script, I'm probably the only one to have this

trandoductin · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2016 11:20 pm **(#40)**

how does it interfere? conflicting variable names?
