Help! can you warp scal text?

Post by jillieneisaacs »

I wanted to create a crescent or rainbow arch with my text. i was planning on using my gel pens to write the words or maybe use the negative of the cut out. i just can't figure out if there is a way to make my text wrap in a half circle. thanks so much!

I don't know how to do do it in SCAL but I learned it from this video for Inkscape

and then I learned another way

Is this like what you are wanting?? If it is there is an Arc in SCAL2 and you select that arc shape just click on the arc and select the "T" for text on the tool bar and click on it and there is a type on path option in that text option.. click on your arc after selecting that text on path and your word will type right on that arc.
