In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to do the following: You can also wrap type around objects, make itįollow along the shape of a path, create type masks, import text files intoĬontainers, and modify the shapes of individual letters in a block of type. To separate the text from the path, just use Unflow or press Shift+ Alt+ W.One of the most powerful features of Inkscape is the ability Manual adjustment can still be done on the text after this. Word-wrapping is automatically done so that the text fits the shape as precisely as possible. The Flow into frame Alt+ W command of the Text menu takes any selected text and puts it into the selected shape. The Text -> Remove from Path command converts a text-on-path into a regular text object. When you move the path, its attached text moves with it however, you can move the text away from its path or transform it without losing the link. Select the path and the text and use Text -> Put on Path. Both text and path remain fully editable (including kerns and letterspacing in text). That allows putting a text on a path so that it follows its shape. Inkscape has support for the SVG element. Some options of the Text menu are very interesting. Text and path can be complementary elements that work together.
