Geomerative text question

Hi,

I am not sure to understand, you would like to fill (or not fill) the word you are drawing with curveVertex(), right ?

If so, just change fill(0, 0, 0) to the color of your choice or replace it by noFill()

import geomerative.*;
RFont f;
RShape grp;
RPoint[] pts;
RPoint[][] pointPaths;

void setup() {
  size(900, 900);
  strokeWeight(2);
  noFill();
  
  RG.init(this);

  grp = RG.getText("Belli", "Roboto-Black.ttf", 200, CENTER);
  RG.setPolygonizer(RG.UNIFORMLENGTH);
  pts = grp.getPoints();
  pointPaths = grp.getPointsInPaths();
  
}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  
  translate(300, 160);
  for (int i = 0; i< pts.length; i++) {
    point(pts[i].x, pts[i].y);
  }

  translate(0, 200);
  for (int i = 0; i< pts.length; i++) {
    point(pts[i].x + sin(frameCount*0.05 + pts[i].y*0.1)*5, pts[i].y);
  }

  translate(0, 200);
  for (int i = pointPaths.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (pointPaths[i] != null) {
      beginShape();
      for (int j = pointPaths[i].length-1; j >= 0; j --) {
        curveVertex(pointPaths[i][j].x + sin(frameCount*0.05 + pointPaths[i][j].y*0.1)*5, pointPaths[i][j].y);
      }
      endShape(CLOSE);
    }
  }


  translate(0, 200);
  for (int i =0; i< pts.length; i++) {
    line(pts[i].x, pts[i].y, pts[i].x + random(-15, 15), pts[i].y + random(-15, 15));
  }
}

Also, according to the dedicated reference page curveVertex() should normally begin with the first vertex being written 2 times and end with the last one specified 2 times as well.
