logo?

[krober10nd]

• After several years of development, I think this package deserves a logo.
• I propose: OceanMesh2D with two triangles for the M?

[WPringle]

Sure, if you come up with a design post it here. I was also thinking this based on the last slide of that talk showing all the logos.

I'm wondering if you could make a triangle shapefile (triangular holes) and run that through OM2D, so there'd be many smaller triangles within the two big ones and the OM2D software would have created part of its own logo.

Since the area within the letters is small, maybe draw a rectangle around everything and fill the space between the bbox and the outside of the letters with triangles, and then leave the letters solid black?

[HamishB]

If lettering is saved as .svg in Inkscape or similar you can get the coords of the letters from inside the .svg text file. Maybe extracting from PostScript is easier as svg might be using bezier curves to define the boundaries of the letters?

[HamishB]

In GRASS: import png with r.in.gdal, then r.to.vect to get polylines of lettering, then v.out.ogr to get a shapefile of the boundaries

[krober10nd]

maybe @HamishB you can try to do what you're suggesting and post it in #153 ?
