Create a shape with the same size as the stroke of a text layer using the script

[Nahidku]

I want to create a script that can create a shape (circle, ellipse, or square) that is the same size as the text layer's stroke (e.g. 100px). Runs only on the current file.
I have combined a script to fill layer with canvas and some actions. But still have to open a new file to get the exact size. Does anyone have any better ideas?

The function »ellipseShapeLayer« takes the Stroke Width as its third argument, which is set to 3 in the provided code. You can modify this value as needed.

I tried changing this parameter from 3 to 1. But the stroke became 12.5px instead of 3px.

To create a script that automatically creates a shape (circle, ellipse, or square) with the same size as the text layer's stroke in Photoshop and runs only on the current file, you can use the following JavaScript code. This script assumes that the text layer with the stroke is selected.

javascriptCopy code

// Ensure we have an active document if (app.activeDocument) { var textLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer; // Check if the active layer is a text layer if (textLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) { // Get the size of the text layer's stroke var strokeSize = textLayer.textItem.strokeWidth; // Create a new shape layer (circle, ellipse, or square) var shapeLayer = createShapeLayer(strokeSize); // Select the new shape layer shapeLayer.selected = true; } else { alert("Please select a text layer with a stroke."); } } else { alert("Open a document before running this script."); } // Function to create a shape layer with the specified size function createShapeLayer(size) { // Create a new shape layer var shapeLayer = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add(); shapeLayer.kind = LayerKind.SHAPE; shapeLayer.name = "Shape Layer"; // Set the shape color (you can customize this) var shapeColor = new SolidColor(); shapeColor.rgb.red = 255; shapeColor.rgb.green = 0; shapeColor.rgb.blue = 0; // Create a new ellipse shape path var ellipsePath = shapeLayer.pathItems.ellipse( app.activeDocument.width / 2 - size / 2, app.activeDocument.height / 2 - size / 2, size, size ); // Fill the shape with the specified color shapeLayer.fill = shapeColor; return shapeLayer; }

This script checks if there is an active document and if the active layer is a text layer. If conditions are met, it gets the stroke size of the text layer and creates a new shape layer (ellipse, circle, or square) with the same size. Adjust the color and shape type as needed. Save this script with a .jsx extension and run it from the Photoshop Scripts menu.

Thank you for the script. When I run this message appears. Btw, I'm stuck with custom shape for now...
