Anchorman

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 03:21:59 +0100

This Script traces parts of a selected Art like anchors, handlerpoints and handlers to return a printable editing mode view. This script was initially written for a project to document the workings of my font's glyphs.
All parts are placed in their own groups and are colored in CMYK mode making it a lot easier to customize added vectors. Users are supllied with a menue to edit anchor and handlerpoints sizes as will as stroke width of handlers.
Anchorman is based on parts of wallblazer, thanks a lot to Jonathan Puckey for finalizing the code. He made it a lot more user friendly.

Unfortunately I just have the chance to work on CS1. I'll have to wait until we get CS2 at university. I'll check that a.s.a.p.
Anyone meanwhile with CS2 running…?

Hmm strange - it's working here with CS2.. Do you have the latest version of Scriptographer installed?

Hi,
this is just what i was looking for since moths! It was actually the rason why I tryed to learn scripting at the first place! Thank you for that tool.

An maybe-nice-addition for the future:
The ancors and line-style are added to the symbols and graphic-style menue, so after running the stript one can adapt the look of the result more detailed.

But anyway: GREAT SCRIPT!

Hey,

Thanks für die Rosen (you speak german, right?).
At first I had a popup offering options to set colors, widths and sizes but finally we decided to leave it as it is now, cause there's no chance to save entered values for all that stuff – as far as I know.

Therefore lines and points are placed in their groups to simplify customization. Just draw a line or a box with your desired specifications and use the eyedropper. And in case you want to stick with your specifications just open the script and enter your values instead of the given… as simple as that.
Have fun with the script!
