RE: [svg-developers] Text on arc - rendering position
Not sure if this is what you have in mind, but perhaps experiment with Hmm, I should clarify my original post (although I appreciate your interesting experiments). I just want to clone the first image and rotate it together with text. http://skibob.dobruska.cz/other/text_path_ex.svg It can be easily done via rotating the whole group. No problem. But I am trying to achieve the same effect just via rendering a path with transformed control points. But as it can be seen on the right part of the image, in this case the text is placed inside the hypothetical curve and there is no way (AFAIK) how to render it otside like in the first image (to place the bottom of the character nearer to the path). In my case it is necessary to render a huge amount of text (at any radii and angle) so I try to find the most efficient way. I think that transformation of every single instance of text on client side would have a great performance impact. But up to now it seems to be the only way...

[svg-developers] Text on arc - rendering position
Hello Everyone, is there any possibility to specify the text rendering position on a path? I mean to specify if it has to be rendered inside or outside the hypothetical circle. In the attached example I'd like to achieve that text on red arc rendered outside. Is is possible without any transformations?

Re: [svg-developers] Text on arc - rendering position
Hi Jan, Not sure if this is what you have in mind, but perhaps experiment with something like this: svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; path id=path0 d=M10 150C65.228 150 110 194.772 110 250C110 305.228 65.228 350 10 350 stroke=green fill=none/ path id=path31 d=M300 100 A 100 100 1 1 1 300 250 stroke=red fill=none stroke-width=3/ text text-anchor=middle font-size=26textPath xlink:href=#path0 startOffset=50%Hello/textPath/text text text-anchor=top font-size=26 textPath xlink:href=#path31 startOffset=8% kerning=4 tspan dy=20 -5 5 0 -5Hello/tspan /textPath/text /svg The first one is your first curve, the second one I used an A subcommand of path (just to simplify the code) and then applied a tspan with the dy attribute, so as to top-align the text to the curve. This last feature, is perhaps desirable or not, but does occur in the wild : http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/top-align.htm What I've not been able to figure out, despite considerable experimentation, is how to determine the values of dy through script, since the measure of glyphs seems unable to inform me (owing to descents and risers and hooks and flags and curlicues and all those other funny things that fonts have). The above link shows some of the footprints of those investigations. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to squash glyphs to fit into curvilinear containers to allow SVG to have better textual control, since it seems like SVG ought to be the place to do that, rather than having to invent a new spec. cheers David - Original Message - From: honyk j.tosov...@email.cz To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2011 4:22 AM Subject: RE: [svg-developers] Text on arc - rendering position Just 600 B file has been removed from my message so here is a direct link: http://skibob.dobruska.cz/other/text_path_ex.svg Subject: [svg-developers] Text on arc - rendering position Hello Everyone, is there any possibility to specify the text rendering position on a path?

If you define two concentric arcs with a difference in radius adapted to the height of your formatted text then you can achieve the result you seem to want: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=no? !DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd; svg fill=none width=500 height=500 preserveAspectRatio=xMidYMid meet version=1.1 xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; xmlns:ev=http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events; defs path id=innerarc d=M 0 0 a 100 100 0 0 0 0 -200 stroke=red / path id=outerarc d=M 0 20 a 120 120 0 0 0 0 -240 stroke=red / /defs g transform=translate(200 250) use xlink:href=#innerarc / text style=font-size:20pt;font-family:sans-serif;fill:maroon; text-anchor=middle textPath xlink:href=#outerarc startOffset=50% Hello World! /textPath /text /g /svg - To unsubscribe send a message to: svg-developers-unsubscr...@yahoogroups.com -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click edit my membership Yahoo!
