Welsh Yellow Cheddar Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hello, I'm trying to create circles with text as in this image. I've tried the circle and the circular text plugins but they render text circles differently to my example. Are there any other text plugins I could try?

There are hidden words in the circles. The horizontal disposition of the letters is important for readability like the numbers in a clock.

Pixey Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Did you try @dpy's circle text? I did this on three layers and began with the Radius of 8, then increased it each time for a new circle. You will have to type the text in anew in each, if you want different letters.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The orientation of the letters is important to @Welsh Yellow Cheddar. Circle Text renders letters as if they are written from the center - different from the example image.

Ladybug Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 @Welsh Yellow Cheddar I know its not PDN but have you looked at the following site? https://tools.atozteacherstuff.com/word-search-maker/wordsearch.php Quote Click HERE to see my Pictorium of images I have worked on.

Reptillian Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I think he doesn't want it in grid fashion either. This requires knowledge of coding. If I were to do that, I would code a c++ program that creates SVG image, and then import to Paint.NET or Scribus or Inkscape. And that's a time consuming thing. Perhaps @dpy can add a orientation fix option and this problem will be solved. Problem: He last visited in 2016. So...

midora Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I guess we need a new category 'Maker' for tools to create something like this. @Ladybugprovided a good hint. I would move my Paper Kaleidocycles effect plugin there and other plugins I never published. But it would really be good if the new menu item could offer different paper sizes like letter or A4 300dpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 'Render' is for creating any kind of graphical object. 'Maker' would be more for stuff like Paper Kaleidocycles which create a complete page for printing. BTW I hadn't in mind to propose an official 'Maker' category like 'Render'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Yellow Cheddar Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) @Pixey Thanks for your answer, but as @Ego Eram Reputo said,the characters should not be turned. @Ladybug Thanks too, I have used your link in the past. I just need something different. @Reptillian Yeap, the circle text plugin could do it but it needs just one option. Too bad the author is away. @midora I like your idea about a "maker" category where perhaps education tools (worksheet generators) could be added. I like flexagones, I will try your Paper Kaleidocycles plugin. @Ego Eram Reputo I think I will use your organigram plugin to create this type of activity. I noticed that the bubbles number is limited to 50, would it be possible to increase it? Thanks to all of you.
