Kind of an "Also starring" update.
Actually it's not an updated at all, the official script remains the same.
However I played with sigs a little and thought to share my toys.
This is of interest to those of you who lived through the dynamic sigs genesis and know your stuff... more or less.
So this script comes with almost no commented code.
Why I want to share it specifically is because I used a font and a method for writing a signature entirely from php.
You don't need photoshop anymore except for the signature itself.
Writing all with php is nice because:
- same font everywhere
- status and their values are merged ; no need for alignment
- numbers and writing will always have one space distance in-between
- signature is more dynamic; text is not embedded into the signature
- ability to create 9000 IFs and write a different text on the sig for each one
This is nothing new though, anyone could have done it already, the possibility was there ever since v.1.
However, I wanted to introduce a font that is similar to those usually used in signatures around here.
Now, some explanations about the script.
There's a function there and what it does is to create or rather try to simluate a stroke appearance for the font. What it technically does is to write a couple of times in black ink around a central point and then write in white ink above it.
This can be achieved for most of the TTF fonts by simply writing with a font ~2px larger. But this font wasn't scalling properly (it's a bit of a pixel font afterall).
Also it's easier to code with the new script, less editing required.
Click the test signature to get the script (includes working example).
So, have fun then ^_^.Fun was removed due to offending content.
Thanks to burnsy for the sig.
