End user stretchable dragable textbock

in Using jQuery UI • 5 years ago

The JQuery stretchable control may be the start of this: I'm trying to find a control that the end user can type text into and then use dragable text block handles to resize the text. It has to be draggable by the end user too. Does anyone know if such a control is available or can anyonebuild it?

Use the jQuery UI Draggable and Resizable plugins.

Those plug-ins provide the necessary resizing and drag/drop but notice in the resize plug in demo that the button text does not change size, only the width of the button expands or contracts (height is not affected either).

I need a way for a user to enter some text in a bounding box editable label or textbox, then drag one of the handles to make the text the size they want (proportionate dragging by holding down the control key while dragging). If the drag a side it would widen and stretch the text and if they dragged the top or bottom it would make the text taller or shorter,without affecting the width. This way they can manipulate the look of the text or size it proportionately.

The text would have to use a vector font.

I just don't know how to make a control like this.

I don't know about compressing the text, but this is how you could resize it as you drag (based on the container height).
