Text Along A Curve!!!

[rayj00]

Would love to be able to align text...say around an egg, or golf ball....

Please????

Or an easy (cheap) way to do this with another app???

Thanks,

Ray

I haven't downloaded this to play with yet, but it looks pretty cool ... click or failing that, have a search for the Polar Transformation plug-in

hope that helps

First of all, in my Paint.Net/Effects folder is empty

even though the Effects menu shows stuff in it???

I downloaded the Circle Text plugin and extracted everything into the Effects folder

but when I start up Paint.net, it's not there?

Ideas?

Thanks,

Ray

If effects are included with Paint.NET, it uses them without them being in the effects folder.

Read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2023

After trying everything in there, if you still can't get a plugin to work... post your troubles there.

I followed that thread initially when I downloaded...

OS: Vista Home Premium 64 bit, Paint.net v3.36 build 3158.38068

My file structure is such:

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\CSfiles\CircleText.cs

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\CSfiles\RotateText.cs

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\CSfiles\SpiralText.cs

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\dllfiles\CircleText.dll

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\dllfiles\RotateText.dll

c:\program Files\Paint.Net\Effects\TextFormations\dllfiles\SpiralText.dll

Re-start Paint.net and no TextFormations in the menu->Effects ????

Thanks

Effect submenus aren't "folders" but dictated by the plugin author. Try placing the DLL files directly in the Effects folder.

Ok, couple of problems off the bat, character kerning.

Also, I have a circle. I want "ABCDEFG 12345" circular on top

of the circle, centered from left to right. I also want "HIJKL"

circular on the bottom, centered from left to right. How to get

the HIJKL?

This is good though....

Ok, unchecked the "clockwise" for the text on the bottom.

kerning probably needs some development work.....

Overall...a fantastic plugin!! Thanks to the author!!!
