Am I just missing the options but is there a way to get text to auto adjust spacing when other objects are overlapping them?
For example if I have a Triangular text banner on a inner circle and its corners overlaps on the top right,top left, and center bottom. The feature I would want is to have any text entered for the next outer circles text ring to be able to see the overlap and create a spacer in the text ring so the banner from the inner layer does not cover the text and the next letter/word will keep going after the overlapping object.

Hi Xephan,

Currently, there isn't a setting that will detect an overlapping circle. Your best bet would be to manually position the text within the ring using spaces in the text field. So something like: "Word1 Word2 Word3".

I'll look into the possibility of adding this, but I have a feeling that it wouldn't interact cleanly when the circles do a rotation animation.

That is the current work around however its not optimal as it applies space on both words one backwards and one forward.
Perhaps having an option to set a origin point for the text to originate from and only push new inputs forward or being able to rotate the text once its in place.

Would having the option to specify a number of "gaps" in the text ring, and the "width" of those gaps work? It would basically divide the text ring into N segments with configurable spacer widths between them.

I believe so

would it be possible to make it so you can select an already made circle or/and its sub circles and make them a child of a different pre made circle instead of having to completely remake it under that new circle because you can already make a sub circle become a sibling of their parent but you cant make a sibling of a circle become a sub circle

Yup!

I've added this to the newest version of the app. You can now click and hold one ring then drag it over another to make it a sub-circle.

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions, or run into any issues. I really appreciate the feedback!

iv been trying to make a few magic circles but iv been having a problem locating the layers i want to go to would it be possible for you to add a ring labeling system unless it already exists and i just have not found it yet.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've added it to the newest version of the app.

The name field is now the first property in the ring's settings.

Hello!

Is it possible to change or add to the "Symbol Library"? If not, i'd love the ability to add my own symbols or symbol libraries of my own into the software!

Game Dev GooseDeveloper45 days ago

Hi!

Yes, you can add pretty much any unicode character to the Active Symbols text field and those will be used when the circle generates. Be mindful that some fonts don't contain glyphs for those characters, so an unexpected fallback glyph could be rendered depending on your font choice.

You can also draw or import custom images to be used in your circle. I recommend importing the images first, then changing the Symbol Library to "Custom Sigils". That will populate the active symbols with references to your loaded images. Then when you generate a circle it will use those custom symbols. You can reference an image in a symbol text field like: __cs__13
The __cs__ is a tag that notifies the app that you want to use a custom symbol, then the 13 is just the Nth loaded image. These custom tags can only be used in symbol fields currently.

There are a few limitations that I'm still working on:

Saving your changes to the various symbol libraries / allowing you create new sets.
Custom fonts made via the font forge editor don't work well with unicode characters.
Adding custom symbol support to Ring text and Line Text fields.

Please let me know if you run into any issues or have any more suggestions
