[Plugin] tag text

Update

Now image could be inserted into text by tag definition.

Hi Rex and friends,

i use today the Tag Text plugin. It's great !

But i don't found how to add a background and a border to have a sort of AdvancedTextBox, but more beautifull !

It is possible to fill background with color or draw a border, but I don't have plan to add these recently, add them to my TODO list, thanks for these suggestions.

Rex

thank's for the moment for your reply

Now that this supports even inserting images it's almost perfect as far I'm concerned but one small issue I have is that to do tooltips for certain words I would need to get start and end coordinates of a word within a string and while I probably can do that by doing stuff like setting another instance of a TagText to just one line of text ending at the word I want and getting TextHeight and TextWidth for that but it would be a lot less trouble and possibly faster if there was a expression to find X or Y of a word, something like system.find expression but for coordinates instead of index and with parameters to get either start or end of the text.

Sorry, I don't have plan for this feature recently.

Thanks for your great work rexrainbow !

Is it possible to add Width parameter for Stroke ?

I tried to add some new css style with "Set custom property" but no result..

What is the role of "Set custom property" ?

Update

Add parameter "Line width" in "action: Set stroke".

Try this new version.

And here is a sample capx of custom properties, to configure typing speed.

Thanks rexrainbow

There is bug with "Set stroke"

Fixed, please try again.

It's ok now, thanks !

Unfortunatly, the border made with stroke is only centered, and if I well understand there is no option to make outer border with stroke, right ?

In the futur, do you think it would be attainable to make this kind of effect with your TagText plugin ?

Update

Change the order of drawing text and stroke, now it will draw stroke then draw text.

amkp

Some characters like "w" does not draw clearly, I will try to fix them later.

Referece

rexrainbow

Great !

It seems that the caracters who does not draw clearly depends sometimes of the font used.

With Arial font:

With WebFont google:

Update

Add "Line join" option in "Action: set stroke". sample capx

Try this new version.

All it's ok now, thanks a lot !
