Text, Paragraph display

[craigw]

Hi,

I know how to use text display, but I would like to type a paragraph and then display it. On top of this is it possible to auto resize as there is more or less text? This may not be possible however I thought I'd put it out there to see.

Hi,

This may not be of great help for what you are trying to achieve, as it relies on external text files, but  if it is no problem for you to type your text outside of Isadora, have a look at this plugin: http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/discussion/694/read-text-from-a-file-i-wrote-a-plugin

You can either change its text size or modify the zoom property of the projector, but if you want to resize it automatically you will have to find a way of counting the characters, and apply some ratio, I suppose...

This plugin may help you to get the length of your text: http://troikatronix.com/community/#/discussion/935/my-new-plugin-charactercount-text-length
