Great ideas Martin. I'm going to grant you an honorary doctorate from the
institute of Sly Laboratories.

I was thinking that SVG might work as someone else has said.
At first I thought you could create individual files for each letter and number
and put the path for a letter into a svg widget which you could rotate or scale.
you would then have to calculate the angle of rotation and location of
I looked at this some years ago. I forget why I wanted to do it (a logo,
perhaps?).
My conclusion was that the best way would be to write it as either eps or
postscript.
This gives you something that can be trivially rotated without loss, but the
catch is that you have to then feed it to
The polyLine character substitution will be a simple. Creation will be a bear,
but only once.
If you had “Hello World” and wanted to “curve” it, you would simply pull the
appropriate curved chars, “H”,, “e’, “l, etc. and string them together.
Uh oh, what about kerning? I hope this is a
Folks,
I made a vertically oriented y axis text label for a data plot once. The text
was written in a field with a transparent background, then a screen capture of
the text field area, then rotating the captured image 90 degrees. It worked
great. Obvious limitation was that the background was

Hi Craig,
The text will mostly be names at start (but could also be more words in the
future).
Draw with polyLines. Didn't think of that. A lot of coding I think.
Then I could also use SVG files to replace the text of the field.
Maybe easier to enlarge, rotate a bit and give another
There is not a native way to do this in LiveCode.
An approach might be to use the shell() function (see Dictionary) to
pass the text to some external graphics utility that renders and image
of it curved and then import the image back into Livecode. There may be
other work-arounds.

How large is this curved text?
You could certainly create an entire alphabet with polyLines, and insert them
as needed to replace a body of text. But if you need 12 point size, those
graphics are going to be, er, difficult to do nicely.
