banner

The banner macro allows you to add repeating text along a path. It is provided by the banner plugin.

Signature

macro('banner', {
  Path path,
  String text,
  Number dy=1,
  Number spaces=12,
  Number repeat=10,
})

Example

```js ({ Point, points, Path, paths, macro, part }) => {

points.from = new Point(0,0) points.to = new Point(320,0)

paths.banner = new Path() .move(points.from) .line(points.to) .move(new Point(0,-10)) // Prevent clipping

macro('banner', { path: paths.banner, text: 'banner', })

return part }

</Example>
