Decrease handwriting quality as page changes and add wrong words

Open thepushkarp opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

  • Currently, the handwriting is constant throughout the generated pages, which is not the case with any handwritten assignment :P.
    • Can use two handwritings - a good one and a bad one. Can randomly start using more characters of bad handwriting font with each increasing page and ultimately switch over completely to the bad font after a few pages.
  • An option to specify whether we wish to generate left-hand or right hand page and set the margin accordingly
  • Also, can add misspelt words before a word and striking it off like happens in most notebooks.

Calligraphr by default allows you to have an additional version of the same character and automatically switches between these words in the font itself.

about having bad version of handwriting, this sounds pretty useful but how can we generate a different version which is not tooo different from the base handwriting?

I didn't exactly get this point. Aren't margins the same for both sides of the page?

We totally need this! I was even playing around and trying to add this but the problem was the strike line is too straight that it looks fake so I thought maybe we can have draw over canvas feature. This will solve a lot of issues, you can strike a word, draw diagrams, etc.

Thank you for the suggestions they are pretty useful! I'm keeping this open for discussion :D

Oh didn't knew that. Was actually using a handwriting font created by some other tool and it had fixed characters. Cool then.

Yeah, like make two fonts - one with natural handwriting and the other one in which you write deliberately in bad handwriting (maybe using old notes for reference) :P. Can put a slider that adjusts how much percentage of text we want to be from the bad handwriting.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry, was confused earlier.

Yeah, that would be interesting. Having a little mess does make the text feel more natural. A draw over feature is a really good way to do so! Another thing that can be interesting to do is adding crease marks from words written on the page on top of the current page or from something written on the back of the paper (like it always happens in notebooks).

Keeping the issue open for this feature!

About the decreasing handwriting feature, one way to do this would be to have separate versions of handwriting and use the different handwriting on next pages.

maybe we can use a slider input to help the user specify the frequency of cutting and spelling errors. the slider can be placed under Page & Text Options.
