QBJS String Patterns to Font Help - bplus - 08-30-2023

@dbox

This code might be really cool for animated banners but QBJS is messing up code working fine in QB64.

Have a look:
Code: (Select All)
'Option _Explicit
'_Title "Font From String Patterns Strokes" ' b+ 2023-08-27
' Inspired by grymmjack post here https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread...0#pid18990
' I used his font patterns to get my version started

' 2023-08-29 fixed with -1's in steps

' 2023-08-29 Now with numbered strokes for drawing
' and grymmjack's fix for character design

' 2023-08-30 attempting to get this working in QBJS, it would be nice part of Banner printing!

It appears the first square for pixel is off and the right side of letters are being drawn on left of left most pixel/squares

Well, I figured out how to fix it.  If you add 1 to line 47 it works as expected.  I don't know why this is the case but I suspect it has something to do with a rounding issue.



RE: QBJS String Patterns to Font Help - bplus - 08-30-2023

Dang that disables the QB64 code!

i = (r * sq) + c + 1 ' All these are integers already so i is integer already

Does QBJS ignore integer types?

RE: QBJS String Patterns to Font Help - dbox - 08-30-2023

Ha, if we do this it should work in both:



(I'll save this example though and try to find out if there is something I need to fix with QBJS.)

RE: QBJS String Patterns to Font Help - bplus - 08-30-2023

I also noticed QBJS is leaving little black borders around some of the boxes.
