create a 'good' circular path (ofn plugin) and put some text on it, with Gimp default 'text along path' In this case, with the guides in place, a circle from diameter or radius. What one really needs is (few) 'smooth anchors'-i.e., those with tangents ('handles') in a straight line: so, ofn-path-to-shape. Sorry, Rich, but generally speaking, I doubt very much that ofn-remove-tangents would improve matters in this situation (see *): as a matter of fact, in the path of this example, most of the anchors causing the problem haven't any tangents already. Same place as the ofn-text-along-path plugin Īnd while you are there try the ofn-path-to-shape plugin for really good circular paths. Applied that gives a new 'Cleaned' path (works here) One of ofnuts many plugins ofn-remove-tangents. Dunno.ĭistorted text along path.xcf (Size: 53.12 KB / Downloads: 90)
Given how I created the circle, I'm not sure how that bump got there, maybe it's just a resolution nit. In another reply to my post, Carmen noticed a slight bump. But point taken, only curve one line for best results. Then text along path.Īlso, I sorta blew it as I was only using 2 lines when I found the issue, but when I put together the example I wasn't thinking and created 4 lines. Anyway, find attached xcf you requested.īTW, circle was created by creating a file, putting in vert and horiz guides, eclipse from center (specifying horiz on vert dimension) and finally select to path. You are correct, there is shortened line spacing. I had not saved the previously attached file, but I recreated another going from memory. (lose some text formatting options though) separate text and separate paths is the way although maybe Ofnuts text along path plugin might handle that. Just a comment, multi line text is never a good idea. Text with adjusted line spacing to bring the 11111 closer to the path more in line with your screenshot, OKĬan you post a Gimp xcf (or xcfgz) with the path(s) and text layer. Text with reduced character spacing, which I thought might be the problem is reasonable This a Gimp 2.10.20 (linux) and replicated your path and scale (29 px text) as best I could. That does not look the case from your screenshot. This script does thing differently and can be easier to use (it gives you a lot more control on text formatting and positioning).(06-26-2020, 08:25 PM)rich2005 Wrote: Very strange, with older versions of Gimp you could get that sort of effect if the path was a little too short. if the guide path has a small curvature radius, letters can be somewhat bent out of shape, because verticals translate to lines perpendicular to the guide path.However in this circle case you can easily adjust the text position by rotating the result path (Rotate tool in "path" mode) around the center of the circle (so better start the whole process with two guides showing where that center is going to be). if the guide path is a circle path, it's hard to tell where the beginning will be (answer: not where you want).there is only one formating option: left-justified, so to position your text exactly you may have to edit the guide path and cut the ends.
So if you repeat the operation without re-activating the guide path, the text will wrap on itself, not a pretty shape
