== Font Representation == | |||
Fonts can be represented as | |||
* Raster Graphics or Pixel Graphics | |||
* Vector-Graphics | |||
** Outlines or Midlines | |||
** Curves or Line Segments | |||
** Circular Arcs or Bezier-Curves | |||
What are the pros and cons of the various representations? | |||
== Parametric Letters == | |||
=== Letter J example === | |||
* This is an example of a parametric `J` for Processing 3.0. | |||
* It uses midlines rather than the outlines to represent the letter | |||
* `tweak` the sketch to play with the parameters. | |||
