Here’s a half attempt at a CD / DVD textifier.
MP3 CDs and DVDs can hold so many albums / tracks it’s difficult to write all the tracks on the disc in a legible fashion. It would be nice to have something to create a label with the track listings printed on the physical disc so you can remember what’s on there without putting them in a device. The best way to use up the available room is to have the text curve around the disc in a spiral-like fashion.
This ActionScript code may be one way of creating It uses source code for a flash application that creates a swirl effect with text. Code by g.wygonik of cut.rate.box.
With a small amount of tinkering It now works in a very limited fashion to this end, but not very well, and only for about 100 characters.
So basically, that’s the concept. It needs limits to the trig so that the curvature regresses to align more accurately in relation to the length of the input. It also needs a image export script. A form for adding track names and assigning numbers would also be good.
Anyway, here it is:
