Gearwheels

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:02:02 +0200

I was always missing the easy option to make simple gearwheels. So today i wrote a very simple implementation in Scriptographer.
Hopefully someone finds use for it as well ;)

Suggestions are welcome

Controlling Angle of Calligraphic Brushes

Squis — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:30:30 +0200

In the calligraphic brush options of Illustrator, you can define the way the angle of an ellipsoid brush is affected by the stylus (pressure, tilt, bearing,...). Can this value be controlled with Scriptographer?

For example: I have a flat ellipsoid brush, I draw a curved stroke and then I want a script to make the brush's angle to be at an angle of 90° to the stroke's direction at any point. The reason? So I get flat ends (similar a pencil stroke's butt cap as opposed to the round cap) for a brush stroke with pressure-dynamic width.

If that's not possible yet, that is so on my wish list. Thank you.

hi there,

despite I've installed the JRE, I'm getting the following error message launching Illustrator:
Error opening registry key

I'm on Vista x64 and I've installed JRE for x64.

Any hint?

p.s. after the first error message a second one appear:
Cannot create Scriptographer Engine

randomize shapes

I would love to see a script where I can draw my own shapes, and then get the script to randomly(or not so randomly) distribute the shapes in Illustrator...

tutorials

bianka — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:24:44 +0200

it would be really nice to have some tutorials on this site to learn how to achieve certain effects using scriptographer. Maybe next time when this site is updated a couple could be incorporated.

:)

I am looking for people to discuss the needs for and start working on the new scriptographer website that will be launched together with the new version of Scriptographer.
If you want to contribute both ideas or work, please post here.
