24 Hour

[hendrikbez]

Good morning, just want to find out if there is a way to make a 24Hour dial at 454x454. Start at 1 and end at 24.
I did search but could not find info on it.

Did your earlier question not provide a solution.

Ofnuts scripts and if required rotate the numbers.

Yes thank you, I did not know you can use the same

I had a premonition that might be the case   Getting a base path can be frustrating.

This with a 12 sided polygon, but then the sides have to be separated from each other and reversed and generally tinkered with to get the hours running in the correct direction. Not straight forward.

This with a guide to the plugin which is on Ofnuts path tools page http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...es/scripts   ofn-text-along-path.zip  

Up to you to enter a list of hours in the order you need.

   


I will attach the file, have a look, see if you can get a result.

I recently created some clock faces. The little quartz clock can get a new face every month.

   

This is how I would recommend you do the clock numbers:
1. Create guides (H&V) at the centre of the dial.
2. Create another guide (H) for the 12 o'clock position.
3. Type 1 and move to the 12 position. (It will snap to the guides.)
4. Activate the Rotate Tool and select the 1.
5.Move the centre of rotation of the 1 to the centre of the dial.

   

6.Rotate the 1 by 30 degrees.

   

7. Repeat for other numbers, changing the angle to suit.
