ABOUT
This is an ARexx script for use with PageStream3.
With this script you're able to place a text around a circle.
DISTRIBUTION
spread it and send me hardcopies of your work with this script!
REQUIREMENTS
- PageStream3 (of course!!!)
(you should use V3.1beta3 at least!
earlier versions have problems with rotated text and with the
getellipse command!!)
- rexxmathlib.library (Aminet)
USAGE
* copy this into your PageStream3:Scripts/ drawer
* select "Play Script" in PageStream3
* play with it...
to do the spiral effect:
* the "inner circle factor" is the size of the destination ellipse.
(0.5 means it's halve the size of the selected ellipse)
* "surrounding #" says whow much times the text will flow around the ellipse
(2.5 means a total of 900 degrees = 2.5 * 360)
* play with it!
