Spiral type logo "Dreamcast Sega"

[JohnPSPX92891]

Hello anyone knows a way for producing a spiral-type logo like the "Sega Dreamcast" one

Did you try the Effects > Distorsion > Twirl?
Run it with the maximum value and run it a second time on a straight line going from the center of your image to the edge.
It might not be exactly what you are looking for, but maybe enough for what you need?

On another board Trev created a script that would draw a raster spiral (not vector) using the paintbrush. It was written for Jasc's PSP 8.1 (and works in 9 also) but doesn't work in my X7 because it throws an error. I suspect the error is caused by a deprecated command in the script, and perhaps somebody can figure out how to correct it for newer PSP versions. If interested, here's the link to the page with Trev's script:

What error do you get? The error I get is that the range() command (a Python command) requires an integer but got a float and should be a fairly straightforward fix. All we have to do is change this line from this

Code: Select all

for N in range(0, Max):

to this

Code: Select all

for N in range(0, int(Max)):

int(decimal) converts a decimal (float) into an integer.

Yep, that was the error. And I'll be honest. When I posted this I kind of hoped you'd consider figuring out a vector spiral script. Thanks for doing it!

And by the way, I assume that, for some reason, PSP 8 and 9 don't require the int(Max)) syntax? Is that because of changes in the Python library or something since years ago when the script was created by Trev?

I noticed that in PSP9, it does show the error in the SOP yet, it continues without a problem. I guess it was just not as picky back then!

Thanks you for the answers...

Hello, I am writing again on a spiral restiligne that I could find on the Web. Indeed, the latter eventually stop. So demadais me if there were not a function or an extension to continue the logic of the rectilinear spiral tracet recovered. In thanking you sincerely in advance ...

Does the script in this thread help you? http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=60247
