I noticed that if you draw 2 paths, then merge them, the text goes only along one (in my case the innermost).
Is it wanted ?
It was just a try...
Drawn a rectangle select, then to path.
Drawn an inner ellipse select, then to path.
Merged the 2 paths, run the filter, got the text on the inner ellipse path.

Thank you, Ofnuts.

See "Path" in the Usage notes in the doc in the ZIP.

I see.
Thanks.

Thanks for the new version.

My first surprise (though great features):
Lateral wiggle, Vertical wiggle, Tilt wiggle only random?
In particular, Tilt wiggle should be available as a new option - right-to-left text (not inverted) and frequently searched options from top-to-bottom.
This add-on does not require much coding (I changed it for my own needs) - but it can be very useful for many users.

Superficially, yes, but the devil is in the details(*).

If you reverse the characters (Stunfo) the kerning is on the wrong side. If you need this you can just as well provide the reversed text and reverse the path direction.

For vertical text the script computes a position using the character width, so if you make the text vertical this position is likely wrong. There is also no easy way to tell the actual height of a character... So vertical text implemented the quick-and-dirty way will only work with all-uppercase text (hoping for no diacritics over the letters) and a fixed width font (otherwise, letters such as "I" will be squeezed vertically). IMHO vertical text implemented properly is another (quite different) script.

(*) about three quarters of the code is caring about the details...

This is being fixed

Good news !

Fixed, so you can, now use it also for animations:



Yes, this is a python written in python written in python.

Nifty..

Fun, fun, fun.. (as well as plenty of practical and SERIOUS usages )

Thank You for a great plugin.

Question to version 1.3
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/

How it's working ?:
Text (multi) along path ...
According to me a small patch is needed.

Well, working on the "multi" thing I found that v1.2 had broken something badly, so I had to post an update quickly. In my haste I forgot to disable the registration. Since the "multi" code is ready (only have to document it), the 1.4 version will fix the problem...
