Adding some functions to use the drawing context native text attributes

p5.TextSpacing

Taking advantage of the built-it functions in the webCanvas 2D drawing context that let us interact with the spacing of words and letter within a string in p5.js. The direction is set by the text alignement. Works with imported font and CSS fonts aswell.

Either clone this repository or just grab the functions in the src folder.

Important

This works only in 2D because the function are native to the 2D drawing context API. It can be done in 3D but it would require a totally different setup.

Methods

 function wordSpacing(space:number)

Space the words in a string by the given amount of pixels

 function letterSpacing(space:number)

Space the letters in a string by the given amount of pixels
