Here it is, in red I also marked my own geospatial location with a green dot.īy the way, it seems I wasn't entirely accurate with my statement "now polygons with holes are properly handled." I'm working on a new version where - again - they should really be processed right. There is no pleasing some people Texel is on that map, but your screen resolution is just too low! (And if you believe that, you might also believe the same goes for France and the Brit Isles.) (I meant to create a Protanopia-type Color Blindness test, but I guess I should have checked what they actually looked like before trying Still, it's an interesting image.) Then cut out the entire combined path out of the background rectangle and filled that with yellows. Separated, then filled 'A' only parts with greens, 'B' only parts with reds, and parts that are in both with browns. Here is a sample: a big 'A' over a big 'B'. This is only between circles, they still may touch edges.
Added a useful parameter: minimal distance between two circles. Don't try with two overlapping paths either only use a simple outer path, with simple holes - something like a '0' or '8' shape is good.ģ. A propos: every single path inside an outer one is considered a 'hole', regardless of what Illustrator says. Now proper (non-self intersecting!) polygons with holes in them are properly triangulated - code ought to be a bit faster. Holes in polygons threw everything off and were handled quite badly. The Relative Size determination wasn't really very good.
I didn't have the guts to run it on a vectorized world map, to recreate Mario "Quasimondo" Klingemann's Foam World Map but, in theory? Possible. Usually, only a couple of seconds for a simple rectangle, but it may run into minutes for objects with lots of curves and/or holes. In addition, you can select either a plain basic color, or select any of your current Swatch Groups in that case, each of the circles are filled with a random color from that group. It displays a simple dialog, where you can set a maximum and minimum circle size as a percentage of the selected object size. Select any path - but no live text, please you have to convert it to outlines and select each character in turn. Download zipped script from my site: #1 #2 ( ) unpack if necessary, and put it in your Illustrator Scripts folder to make it available the next time you run Illy, or anywhere else (you have to browse for it each time). It took me a while to get the proper calculations, but - Here It Is! A Javascript, written for Illustrator CS4 (it might work on other versions as well), that fills a selected outline with circles. Ever wondered how to perfectly fill an outline with touching circles? I did - after seeing the example image in Solving design effect - image made of perfectly arranged circles.
