Text Beams

[SteelPicR]

I'm tring to gain some knowledge of how and why plug-ins like Speed Six and Krokodove make the beams come out of text. The plug-ins work great but I would like to know how to do it from scratch. Anybody have any insight on this?

Thanks

This is a lonely place. Not many DF user's I guess, or maybe too long in between new post. Just thought I'd give this a bump.
