How to create single line text object in Python?

[ferry59]

Hi siemen,
this old thread might be useful for you:

AddTextObject?

I’m trying to generate some curves using text data. While there is rs.AddText for Text, there isn’t a rs.AddTextObject for the TextObject equivalent. What do I do? Edit: I found http://wiki.mcneel.com/developer/scriptsamples/converttexttogeometry which does have a RhinoScript solution, but that is shockingly dirty. I’d like a Python solution if possible.

“allow single stroke fonts” should be “_AllowOpenCurves=_Yes”
