Properties

Properties are passed as parameter, for example: $("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W'});: here {char: 'W'} is the charecter property! Other properties which are customisable are:

Property Description
char (REQUIRED) Charecter to print: $("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W'});
width Width of the charecter block in px $("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', width: 100});
height Height of the charecter block in px $("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', height: 100});
background background of the charecter block
$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', background: 'red'});
$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', background: 'rgb(255, 255, 0)'});
$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', background: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)'});
$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', background: '#abc123'});
border Border of the charecter block in px
$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', border: '1px dashed red'});
animation animation you expect for final transition! The categories are: motion, spiral, contract & fade
Note that fade is experimental and buggy!

$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', border: '1px dashed red'});
success (callback function) called when the alphabet has been created on screen.

$("#target").digitalwrite({
	char: 'W',
	border: '1px dashed red',
	success: function() {
		console.log('successfully wrote alphabet W');
	}
});
timeout time in ms, for animations 1000, default

$("#target").digitalwrite({char: 'W', border: '1px dashed red', timeout: 500});

transformTo() method

Once you have created some digital alphabet, you can transform it to some other alphabet using the transformTo() method.
For example call $('#transform_MK').transformTo('N');

You can make a whole storyline using the success callback

$('#transform_MK').digitalwrite({
	char: 'M',
	background: 'rgba(0,0,0,.1)',
	animation: 'default',
	success: function() {
		setTimeout(function() {
			$('#transform_MK').transformTo('N');
		}, 1000);
	}
});		

transformTo() method format

$(identifier).transformTo(char, callback);



char - (charecter) the charecter to transform to. callback - (function, optional) callback called on completion of transformation.
