This iExpression replaces the source text of a text layer by a randomly generated text block of a given number of rows and columns. Different kinds of text can be generated, e.g. binary numbers, numbers, or random strings using the letters of the alphabet. The random text can also change over time such that every few frames a new random text is generated.
Size
How many letters the text block should be wide and high.
Speed
at a value of 5, every 5 frames a new random text is generated. Set this to 0 if you don't want the text to change at all.
Alphabet
Alphabet
which symbols to use in the text (binary e.g. 100101010, numbers e.g. 9873548923, hex e.g. 19af21, HEX z.B. 19AF21, letters e.g. asfgdsdfg, LeTTers e.g. AlfDfaSA; LETTERS e.g. AGUAFZTCTAS)
Custom Alphabet
Those characters are used, when the alphabet 'Custom' is choosen. If letters occur more than once in the alphabet, they are used more frequently, e.g. for 'aaabc' the letter 'a' occurs 3 times as often in the random text as 'b' or 'c'.
Use Spaces
With this option the generated text also contains empty spaces.
Randomness
Random Seed
Change this number arbitrarily to get another random text. For each number a different random text is generated.
Change for each Layer
With this option you get a different random text for each layer, if you apply the iExpression to several layers simultaneously
