Spreeder | Create Custom SpeedRead Gifs | Gif Encode, Measure String

Odus · 2015-08-04T13:12:42+00:00

After seeing a hilarious use of speed reading as a signature, I was inspired to recreate this in C#. This was a lot of fun to make and I learned some more about the Drawing.Graphics class in the process, which is why I'm sharing it. So how does this work? We start by splitting up the input by space - to retain punctuation - and building a new frame for each of them. The main issue was font size as some words are larger than others and may spill out of the frame. To fix this, we take the largest word and update the font size to the bitmap's size divided by the width of our measured string (largest word). For ease, I pinched the BumpKit GifEncoder and used that to encode and export the output. Ignore the poor front end, it's sloppy and was only for demonstration. Otherwise, I'd like some feedback on the class. I rarely write from scratch in C# so I'm looking forward to what people can pick out.

Regardless, nice release.
