getting text as outlines rather than triangles
getting text as outlines rather than triangles
we want to read in text entities as polylines desrcibing the outlines of the truetype text characters. however, we get loads of triangles to describe the text. looking with the debugger, we see
odtruetypefont::drawcharacter()
this calls a number of odgigeometrysimplifier::shellproc() routines, ending up in triangleout, which gets to polygonout.
how do we make the library bypass the geometrysimplifier, and call polygonout or polylineproc with the vectors that describe the character outlines?
hi,
you should call oddbdatabase::settextfill(false).

hi,

struggling to find this. can't find it in the help file.
what include file do i need?
all i can find is settextfill() in dbplotsettings.h, but it is commented out!
hi,
sorry for misleading you. it's oddbhostappservicesfff">::settextfill(). (pdb->appservices()->settextfill()).
textfill is a autocad's system variable. it's declared in sysvardefs.h and accessors in oddbhostappservices for it are generated using a macro.
