would it be possible to add a mini library of envelope paths to the script that can be chosen from ?
With an option to adjust the size.
The arched text for example is the same every time, but the handles are fiddly to set up equally.
Or the ball you made, or Blighty's fish (sine). The Blow-up, etc.
Especially with the guides option, that gives room for a lot of variations.
The secret to adjust handles equally: 1) use a pair of H,V guides and put handles from both sides on the intersection or 2) you will also get a symmetrical curve if you have only one handle, as long as it is in the middle:
Adding a library of paths in the script itself is a full can of worms. As you say they may have to be resized and moved, and this is best done in a WYSIWIG manner outside of the script. Lots of pain(*) for little gain. But people can share their favorite paths here.
(*) for me. The gain/pain ratio is much better if I work on lifting the restriction to have only two anchors per stroke.
