Yes, it’s a late addition to that library. The dancing text demo uses the “weighted exclusion” feature of the VMPrint engine, which essentially creates an object composed of horizontal bars. However, the engine also offers another mode that constructs exclusion objects by combining primitive shapes like circles and polygons. This “stick” demo demonstrates that. In doing so, I added a small set of APIs to allow programmatic control over these primitive parts, which essentially turns this into a rudimentary rigging system. I’m uncertain about its practicality in real-world applications, but it was interesting to observe.

I’m glad that you’re trying the Layoutmaster library in your projects. You can also feed it video with a predominantly white background (or any other solid color). Additionally, the video can contain multiple objects, and the algorithm treats them uniformly.
