Hi,
As Nigel said, currently there is no easy way to do it, but there is a workaround. It's not elegant, but I use it when I want to draw strokes around selection.
1. Render your text on some ImageEnVect (it can be hidden). Use let's say white background with black text. 2. Programmatically use magic wand selection (with global option) and select a point inside one letter. 3. Collect selection points and create polylines and you have outlined letters. You can then transfer polylines to another (visible) ImageEnVect.
In my case, I draw a brush stroke around selection (actually through polylines points):

If you want, I can post a code on how to create polylines from selection points (C++). Of course, the real stuff would be to make this process automated without rendering text to some hidden ImageEnVect.
HTH, Siniša |
