Ok, this is a bit of a funky idea, but is it possible to generate a dataset of points that, when plotted, display a desired text? I remember seeing this somewhere, but have no idea how to do it.

    It's totally possible. But please sketch the idea a bit more in detail and best provide insight into what the input data would be like and how you imagine the output to look like. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jul 13 '18 at 12:51
  • So my idea would be to give the function a string, for example "Hello!" and the function would return a 3D array. When this 3D array would be plotted (of course in 3D) , it would spell Hello! with the plot points. The function should also allow you to choose how many points it generates. – Qubix Jul 13 '18 at 12:58
  • I don't think I understand this. What would determine the coordinates if they are not provided by the user? – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jul 13 '18 at 13:02
  • The shape of each letter. – Qubix Jul 13 '18 at 17:41
  • There are much easier ways to display a text in a plot, what is the data needed for? – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Jul 13 '18 at 18:31
  • Ok, maybe I was not clear enough. I want a function that generates something like this, but in 3D, if I give it the string "HI" https://s22.postimg.cc/fstnnzf9d/mypic.png – Qubix Jul 14 '18 at 16:49
