SpeedSix.Typo (Discreet Box10)
PURPOSE
Generates an output image from the characters of a text message, repeated as required to fill the output image. Each character is scaled according to the luminance of the input image at the point at which the character is drawn. This creates a novel representation of the input image. There are several options for combining the information in the input image with the characters drawn in the output image.
This effect uses the Jaws renderer.
INPUT CLIPS
1: Text Texture Clip
: Image whose luminance is to control the character size.
Typo CONTROL PAGE
Base Size (Number Min: 3.0, Max: 50.0, Default: 20.0)
The height of a capital letter in pixels.
Black Scale (Number Min: 0.0, Max: 50.0, Default: 0.01)
Scaling factor applied to the base size for black regions of the input image.
White Scale (Number Min: 0.01, Max: 50.0, Default: 3.0)
Scaling factor applied to the base size for white regions of the input image. Output character sizes will range from Black Scale * Base Size to White Scale * Base Size pixels.
Line Spacing (Number Min: 0.1, Max: 10.0, Default: 1.5)
Distance between lines in multiples of Base Size.
Font (File Browser)
Choose one of the fonts available to draw characters in. All characters are drawn in the same font.
Message (Text String)
The message to be drawn. Characters from this message are used, cycling as needed, to fill the output image.
Look CONTROL PAGE
DrawingMode (List Box Options: Plain | Cols on Plain | Plain on Cols | Lift | Emboss | Emboss Plain, Default: Plain)
Plain: draws the characters as constant foreground colour shapes on the background colour.
Cols on Plain: the input image is revealed through the shapes of the characters. Outside the characters, the background colour is used.
Plain on Cols: the input image is revealed through areas outside the shapes of the characters. The insides of the characters are coloured with the foreground colour.
Lift: The brightness of the input images is increased inside the characters and decreased outside. See Fore Bright and Back Bright.
Emboss: The characters are used to emboss the input image.
Emboss Plain: The characters are used to emboss a plain grey image.
Emboss Angle (Number Min: 0.0, Max: 360.0, Default: 0.0)
The angle from which embossed text is lit measured widdershins (counterclockwise), in degrees from zero at due East.
Emboss Depth (Number Min: 0.0, Max: 10.0, Default: 1.0)
Depth to which the text is embossed. The higher the value, the greater the embossing strength.
AASamples (Number Min: 1, Max: 5, Default: 2)
Oversampling factor to use when rendering. Setting this to 4 or 5 is recommended, as Jaws isn't significantly slower doing good anti-aliasing than not (in most cases).
Foreground Colour (Colour Box Default: white)
Background Colour (Colour Box Default: R: 0, G: 0, B: 0, A: 65535)
The colours used when one of the colour rendering modes is chosen.
Fore Bright (Number Min: 0.0, Max: 3.0, Default: 1.0)
Back Bright (Number Min: 0.0, Max: 1.0, Default: 0.3)
Luminance scaling in Lift mode.
Invert Image (Checkbox Default: Off)
Reverses the luminance of the input image for the purposes of determining character scaling.
ROI CONTROL PAGE
Center (Position Default: 0.5,0.5)
The centre of the ROI box.
Match Scales (Checkbox Default: On)
On: will give proportional scaling of the ROI box.
Scale X (Number Min: 0.01, Max: 2.0, Default: 1.0)
Scale Y (Number Min: 0.01, Max: 2.0, Default: 1.0)
The size of the ROI box.
