-
- FinalWrapper is an Arexx macro for SoftWood's famous word processor Final
- Writer. It allows you to create amazing text effects as wrapping text around an
- oval or even alongside a spiral line with just a few mouseclicks and keystrokes!
-
- Easy to use:
- - Custom requester with keyboard short-cuts for all gadgets
- - Pull down menu for preferences and further options
- - On-line AmigaGuide help
- - Uses your preferred language (currently English and German available, OS2.0+!)
-
- Makes full use of all of Final Writer's current text and graphics facilities:
- - Oval size can be defined by entering the values or simply selecting an oval
- - Text can be entered or taken from the main text or a text block
- - Unlimited text length (when using main text)
- - Allows any mixture of different text attributes and fonts
- - Any type of text flow supported
- - Works with rotated ovals
-
- Many options to manipulate the results (all of which can be combined!):
- - Spirals with increasing or decreasing radii
- - Automatic/custom reduction of character size towards the inside of a spiral
- - Auto shadow option
- - Use style settings of a piece of text as a pattern for the text to be wrapped
- - Option to treat words like characters
- - Starting point and arc of wrapping process freely changeable
- - Additional effects with rotation of characters
- - Several methods to enhance the result (or to create more fancy effects)
- - Group oval to wrapped text in different ways
-
- Arexx port to allow creation of more complex effects via other Arexx macros:
- - Interactive tutorial
- - Wrap text around four ovals at once
- - And more. For Arexx programmers it is easy to add new macros
