How can I make my text smile

Hello All,

I've searched all over in Davinci, here and on the Internet and to my despair found nothing, niet, nada, zip, ... so your kind help would be really appreciated.

So let me dive in and as the saying goes : a picture is worth a thousand words

You could use Path instead of Circle for the Layout Type and draw your curve.

Change the Direction in the Text tab to Right to Left, then in the Transform tab, Rotate Z 180 degrees.

Code: Select all

{
   Tools = ordered() {
      Text1 = TextPlus {
         CtrlWZoom = false,
         Inputs = {
            GlobalIn = Input { Value = 1001, },
            GlobalOut = Input { Value = 1086, },
            Width = Input { Value = 1920, },
            Height = Input { Value = 1080, },
            ["Gamut.SLogVersion"] = Input { Value = FuID { "SLog2" }, },
            LayoutType = Input { Value = 2, },
            LayoutRotation = Input { Value = 1, },
            AngleZ = Input { Value = -177.4, },
            TransformRotation = Input { Value = 1, },
            CharacterAngleZ = Input { Value = 180, },
            StyledText = Input { Value = "This text is upside down and backward!", },
            Font = Input { Value = "Open Sans", },
            Style = Input { Value = "Bold", },
            VerticalJustificationNew = Input { Value = 3, },
            HorizontalJustificationNew = Input { Value = 3, },
            Direction = Input { Value = 2, },
            LineDirection = Input { Value = 2, },
            ManualFontKerningPlacement = Input {
               Value = StyledText {
                  Array = {
                  },
                  Value = ""
               },
            },
         },
         ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 564.667, 147.97 } },
      }
   },
   ActiveTool = "Text1"
}


Hi Brian,

Yup that did the trick, thank you so very much !

I did fiddled a lot with them knobs, values and all the whatyouhaves and didn't find that one.

What's with the code ? Can I used it in DR, cut & paste it and if so, where ?

Thanks again for your response

Olivier

Actually you can avoid changing direction by simply rotating in the transform tab by -180 in Z and Y
{
Tools = ordered() {
Text1 = TextPlus {
CtrlWZoom = false,
Inputs = {
Width = Input { Value = 1920, },
Height = Input { Value = 1080, },
["Gamut.SLogVersion"] = Input { Value = FuID { "SLog2" }, },
LayoutType = Input { Value = 2, },
Center = Input { Value = { 0.5, 0.585185185185185 }, },
LayoutRotation = Input { Value = 1, },
AngleY = Input { Value = -180, },
AngleZ = Input { Value = -180, },
CharacterSpacing = Input { Value = 1.134, },
TransformRotation = Input { Value = 1, },
CharacterAngleX = Input { Value = 180, },
StyledText = Input { Value = "SMILEY TEXT", },
Font = Input { Value = "Open Sans", },
Style = Input { Value = "Bold", },
VerticalJustificationNew = Input { Value = 3, },
HorizontalJustificationNew = Input { Value = 3, },
ManualFontKerningPlacement = Input {
Value = StyledText {
Array = {
},
Value = ""
},
},
},
ViewInfo = OperatorInfo { Pos = { 220, 49.5 } },
}
},
ActiveTool = "Text1"
}

What's with the code ? Can I used it in DR, cut & paste it and if so, where ?

Paste it directly into the Fusion node graph.
