Text and Paths for Pict3D
| (require pict3d-die-cut) | package: pict3d-die-cut |
The pict3d-die-cut library
creates 3-dimensional cut-outs as Pict3Ds, including cut-outs
for text or other drawing paths created with dc-path%.
procedure
(die-cut dc-path [ #:depth depth #:top? top? #:bottom? bottom? #:sides? sides? #:expected-scale expected-scale]) → pict3d? dc-path : dc-path% depth : real? = 1.0 top? : any/c = #t bottom? : any/c = #f sides? : any/c = #f expected-scale : real? = 1.0
Produces a Pict3D version of dc-path by creating a
solid face that matches the region bounded by the closed paths of
dc-path. Since drawing coordinates and 3-D coordinates are
flipped, the resulting 3-D object extends in the negative y-direction
the same amount that the path extends in the positive y-direction. The
3-D object starts in the z-origin plane and extends in negative
z-direction by depth.
The top?, bottom?, and sides? arguments determine whether the text, its reverse side, and the sides (in the z-direction) are included in the result.
If dc-path contains any curves, they will be approximated by line segments. The expcted-scale argument determines the scale at which line segments replace curves.
procedure
(die-cut-text text [ #:font font #:combine? combine? #:center? center? #:depth depth #:top? top? #:bottom? bottom? #:sides? sides? #:expected-scale expected-scale]) → pict3d? text : string? font : (is-a/c font%) = (make-font) combine? : any/c = #f center? : any/c = #f depth : real? = 1.0 top? : any/c = #t bottom? : any/c = #f sides? : any/c = #f expected-scale : real? = 1.0
If center? is #f, the top-left of the text is at the origin in the z-origin plane, which means that the text extends in the positive x-direction and negative y-direction. If center? is #t, the text is centered at the origin, instead.
Changed in version 1.1 of package pict3d-die-cut: Added the #:center? argument.
procedure
(die-cut-text/size text [ #:font font #:combine? combine? #:center? center? #:depth depth #:top? top? #:bottom? bottom? #:sides? sides? #:expected-scale expected-scale])
→
pict3d? real? real? text : string? font : (is-a/c font%) = (make-font) combine? : any/c = #f center? : any/c = #f depth : real? = 1.0 top? : any/c = #t bottom? : any/c = #f sides? : any/c = #f expected-scale : real? = 1.0
Like die-cut-text, but returns the text width and height
(within its plane) in addition to the generated Pict3D.
Added in version 1.1 of package pict3d-die-cut.
