While I know that most text in these programs belongs in one of the many varieties of fields, I would like to add some letters along a freehand curve -- not necessarily straight horizontal. I think most other draw-like programs let me do this. As a bad attempt at overcoming this, I painted the letters using the paintbrush -- but it looks like a 1st grader's first attempt at carving the alphabet.
Any suggestions? (I am using Dreamcard).
Louis,
This probably isn't quite what you are looking for but it is a poor man's implementation which will give you text on a curve. You will need Turtle Graphics for this. See RunRev's Dreamcard web site at: http://downloads.runrev.com/stacks_apps/#learn Download the Turtle Graphic stack.
The handler:
on mouseUP put "This is a semicircle" into tMessage put the number of chars in tMessage into tNum startTurtle setHeading 90 penUp repeat with i = 1 to tNum forward 20 right 180/tNum label char i of tMessage end repeat end mouseUP
will draw the text "This is a semicircle" on a semicircle.
