add tiff loader to tipam [ex Document font-creation] about pi3d HOT 7 CLOSED

This still isn't finalized but will be part of the manual.

from pi3d.

I ended up writing code to do this (and some other 2d render to texture code) if you are interested, I'll put it up on github.

from pi3d.

Yes. Certainly interested. Is it python code that should be part of the pi3d library? Do you have access rights to contribute to this github?

from pi3d.

Yeah, it could be incorporated into the library. I committed my code up at https://github.com/dwarcher/pi3d/tree/RenderToTexture

Unfortunately a lot of this work was done on an older version of pi3d so some merging needs to be done. The ttf loader may not be working 100% right now, but there are some other useful things like some drawing functions for drawing fonts and textures into another texture (useful if you are trying to do dynamic textures, texture animations, HUD's, etc).

put dwarcher's tiff loader into tipam

The Ttffont class is now implemented. Seems generally a better system which should be the default. Apart from integrating it with the new texture system there were 3 tweaks (if you want to fix this in the old version of pi3d though I would recommend upgrading at this stage): making the start point at the bottom left (as opposed to top left) of each character, adding a small gap to cope with overlapping italics (not sure why this happens, poss bug in ImageFont module) and adding the draw colour to ImageDraw.text()

Also fixed 'if ch > 0:' in String that scrambled text when ch == 0, i.e. a space!

Cool, thanks for the bugfixes!
