Labeling marionette/worksheet objects

[Patrick Thieszen]

Using a worksheet and a marionette network, I can create 61 circles (one rank of organ pipes) with spacing based on a percentage of their diameters. I'm trying to figure out how to create number labels for the pipes. I want the largest circle to be "1" and so on with the label using the same center as it's circle.

I added a few text nodes and a Remap Domain node to your definition. If you need to change text font and size you can use the "Set Character Properties" node in the "Objects - String & Text" category.

I should elaborate, I'm trying to label the circles 1 through 61, 1 having the largest diameter. I've placed labels below the circles in the desired order. In the worksheet, col. E is a reordered col. B, which has the pipe diameters, and col. A is the corresponding note number (I found out how not to do what I want when I discovered VW does not have a vlookup function for worksheets.)

Okay, this is the absolute least elegant way to get what you want, but it does work.

 

I'll try to slim it down a bit later, but hopefully you can follow it a bit as is? All the nodes are in default content, there's just some sort manipulation going on with the extra nodes...

Thanks for the help sbarrett and MarissaF. Everything works perfectly so far.
