Meshed text — lari_text • laridae

Shape a string, take its glyph outlines and mesh them: the one-call form of lari_text_outline() followed by lari_glyphs(). Needs the 'textshaping' and 'systemfonts' packages.

Usage

lari_text(
  text,
  family = "",
  weight = "normal",
  italic = FALSE,
  path = NULL,
  em = 1,
  tolerance = 0.002,
  ...
)

Arguments

text: a character string (newlines start new lines)
family, weight, italic, path: font selection, passed to textshaping::shape_text() (path is a font file, which overrides family)
em: the size of one em (the font size) in output units
tolerance: the maximum distance between the flattened outline and the curves of the font, in output units
...: passed to lari_glyphs() and on to lari_triangulate() (max_area, min_angle, size for a sizing field, erase, merge)

Value

see lari_glyphs()

Examples

r <- lari_text("lari", max_area = 0.002, min_angle = 25)
table(r$triangles$glyph)
#> 
#>   1   2   3   4 
#>  62 384 128  42 
tri <- r$triangles
idx <- rbind(tri$v0, tri$v1, tri$v2, NA)
plot(r$vertices$x, r$vertices$y, type = "n", asp = 1, axes = FALSE,
     xlab = "", ylab = "")
polygon(r$vertices$x[idx], r$vertices$y[idx], col = "grey90", border = "grey40")
