Re: Aligning text along an ARC

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

Nope.  WYSIWYG  You can make text using the Text function and there are no secrets to be found.

You might want to look at other programs that can do that make a screen dump and import the arced text as an image.

I have done that in CAD systems, but not with Dia, Gimp, or Inkscape the open source drawing, picture and photo editing programs I use.  I think it is a very non-trivial bit of programming to implement such a thing.

I will be interested to see what other say about this.

Can someone tell me how with DIA I can align text along an arc or is it not possible.
