hey everyone,

i searched unsuccessful for an extension that gets a multiple line text and creates a block out of it by changing the font size of the different lines.
example:
http://image.spreadshirt.net/image-serv ... g-sexy.png

(if you know a extension please let me know.)

i thought about programming it my self. it is a bit harder than i thougt. im not very familiar with python and the documentation to create extensions is not very detailed.


so, how can i change the size of a line.
ho can i calculate the length of a line?


im thankful for any help, i can get.

best wishes,
morits

Hola,

I think I don't understand your problem. Could you post some picture of the result that you want?.
Anyway, a text of multiple lines, changing the font size, and aligning, it's something that can be done using the Inkscape's graphic interfase, but surely I'm issing something.

An extension for text:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9212

You can use the command line:

Recently, one user (baconCatBug) put an example:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15542

And other user (Lucas?), created an extension using c++ and command line:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15561

Or You can use javascript libs: Raphäel, ... etc

I belive morits wants a solution to create a "wordcloud" -like result, as wordle generates.
Making each starting and end letters in the lines aligned to the edge,
using the same kerning and calculating the right font size.
Not an easy one, for me at least.
The only way I know to do this is manual.

sorry. i added an example.
