Animated filling of a font character

TeX - LaTeX Asked on March 21, 2021

Is there a way to fill a sign, say the sign ‘ / ‘, with red in steps?

Because, I ask myself if I could create sth. like that, using the corresponding character from a matching font (in the picture U+3042 (12354)):

This is what you want!

Step 1:

unitsize(1cm);
path[] Asymptote=texpath("あ");
pen[] p={red,green,blue}; p.cyclic=true;

for (int i=0; i <Asymptote.length; ++i)
{
  draw(Asymptote[i],p[i]);
}

pair[] a,b,c;
pair labdira,labdirb,labdirc;

  for(int j=0;j<size(Asymptote[0]);++j){
    a.push(point(Asymptote[0],j));
    labdira=rotate(-90)*dir(Asymptote[0],j);
    dot("$scriptsize "+string(j)+"$",a[j],labdira);
  }

This is my consideration for keyword "A" with Asymptote.

As AlexG's comment: It would involve quite a bit of handwork.

Only for compare and checking purpose.

import animate;
settings.tex="pdflatex"; 
settings.outformat="pdf"; 

animation Ani;
size(10cm);

path[] Asymptote=texpath(Label("A"));

pen[] p={red,green,blue}; p.cyclic=true;

for (int i=0; i <Asymptote.length; ++i)
{
  draw(Asymptote[i],p[i]);
}
pair[] a,b;
pair labdira,labdirb;

  for(int j=0;j<size(Asymptote[0]);++j){
    a.push(point(Asymptote[0],j));
    /*labdira=rotate(-90)*dir(Asymptote[0],j);
    dot("$scriptsize "+string(j)+"$",a[j],labdira);*/
  }
    for(int j=0;j<size(Asymptote[1]);++j){
    b.push(point(Asymptote[1],j));
    /*labdirb=rotate(-90)*dir(Asymptote[1],j);
    dot("$scriptsize "+string(j)+"$",b[j],labdirb);*/
  }

pair M=intersectionpoint(subpath(Asymptote[0],0,1),b[0]--b[0]+(b[0]-b[2]));
path d=subpath(Asymptote[0],intersect(subpath(Asymptote[0],0,1),b[0]--b[0]+(b[0]-b[2]))[0],11)--b[2]--b[0]--cycle;
path q=b[0]--b[1]--subpath(Asymptote[0],12,20)--subpath(Asymptote[0],0,intersect(subpath(Asymptote[0],0,1),b[0]--b[0]+(b[0]-b[2]))[0])--cycle;
//dot(M);
pair K=min(Asymptote[0]),U=max(Asymptote[0]);
draw(box(K,U));

picture pic1;
for(real r=0; r<20; ++r){
save();
fill(pic1,d,red);
clip(pic1,box(K,relpoint((U.x,K.y)--U,r/20)));
add(pic1);
Ani.add();
restore();
}
fill(d,red);
picture pic2;
for(real r=0; r<20; ++r){
save();
fill(pic2,q,red);
clip(pic2,box(relpoint((K.x,U.y)--K,r/20),U));
add(pic2);
Ani.add();
restore();
}
fill(q,red);
pair Mi=(a[11].x,K.y),Ma=(a[12].x,U.y);
picture pic3;

for(real r=0; r<=20; ++r){
save();
fill(pic3,(a[11]--b[2]--b[1]--a[12]--cycle),red);
clip(pic3,box(Mi,relpoint((Mi.x,Ma.y)--Ma,r/20)));
add(pic3);
Ani.add();
restore();
}

erase();
Ani.movie(BBox(3mm,Fill(white)));
