RPTools / TokenTool

TokenTool removes much of the tedium from creating tokens for use with MapTool or your favorite online gaming application. Just drag an image into the background, select a frame, zoom and pan to suit, and drag off a finished token. The resulting token is transparent around the edges and cropped to the size you wanted.

Generating two-sided tokens

parasit opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, only "one-sided" tokens can be generated. It shouldn't be a big problem to add options for "two-sided".
The point is that now, if I want to have a two-sided token, I have to save it in TokenTool, open it in Gimp, duplicate it, turn the second copy 180 degrees and mirror it. These are simple image operations.

All this options could be automated at the TokenTool level.

Describe the solution you'd like
Added option to duplicate and reverse the token.

Additional context
From something like this:
gnome-priest_ramka

Make something like this:
gnome_priest_plaskacz

After printing, cutting and folding, I get a double-sided token.

That's a cool idea!

TokenTool wasn't ever designed to be used for printed images, but your example is an interesting one. How would you see it working?

Would the user select a portrait-style overlay that defines the dimensions they want, then select a checkbox somewhere that says it should be mirrored? Would TT need to offer both horizontal and vertical mirroring?

Would TT generate the image and leave it up to the user to ensure that it's scaled properly when printed? (I'm just thinking of the nightmare involved in calibrating screen resolution to printer resolution!)

How would the user arrange to print an entire page of the same portrait? Say they want to generate 20 goblins or something... is TT involved in that? (Please say "no". 🙂) If the user wants 20 goblins, they're going to load it into GIMP or some other paint program anyway, to build the page image.
