Matching drawpath to cornu.path dimensions using cornu.fit

Hi there, first of all: i'm a newbie to NodeBox (and Python) ... here's what i'm trying to do:

1. Draw a textpath via drawpath
2. Modify point info from that path and draw it via cornu.path

Canvas size is 1024x1024 for example, fontsize 100, textpath x,y are 200.

How to calculate the corresponding cornu.fit values to match the drawpath result?

Thanks: Lars

   Hi,

   I've looked at it and I couldn't find an easy way to match the original path and cornu path.

   You've probably already seen the Cornucopia example. Here's some code that might get you started:

   cornu = ximport("cornu")
   
   background(.5, .6, .5)
   
   fontsize(1.0)
   pt = textpath("hello", 0,0)
   
   points = [[pt.x,pt.y] for pt in pt.points(200)]
   
   transform(CORNER)
   scale(0.4)
   translate(35, 800)
   
   nofill()
   stroke(1)
   strokewidth(2)
   
   cornu.drawpath(points)
