rayj00 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I need to create text along a curve. Is there a plugin for that? I will have a graphic in a circular shape and need text at the top and bottom to be curved to follow the circular graphic. Thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayj00 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 It doesn't quite do what I want. Below is similar to what I want to accomplish. Top text goes right to left. Same for bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djisves Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes it does. Use the plugin twice, once for the top text and once for the bottom text. Better to have each on its own layer. For the bottom layer, deselect (un-tick) the "clockwise" option (just above the radius slider). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebGuyTom Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I know this thread is old, and I have the "updated" version of this tool. But I need a much more "simple" tool. I just want a slightly curved line on which I can add text - which will follow the line. I don't know the terminology that Paint uses, but I've always known that as "Line Text", or "Curve Text". But everything in Paint (when I searched extensively) comes back to the Circle tool. The closest that comes to this is the "Circle" tool. But that's way too sharp an angle. I don't need a full circle. I've gone through the extensive list of tools I've installed, but there is nothing to create a line and have text then follow that line. Am I missing another plugin? I can use the Circle tool if the text is short. But I have long text. When you go through all the adjustments, it just looks really bad and ends up all over the image where I'm trying to add text. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
