Title of script: Text Manipulation

Author: Priya K and Arthi.A

Keywords: Inkscape, Text on path, Text on shape, Image inside text, Perspective text, Cutout text.


Visual cue
Narration
Opening Slide Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Text Manipulation” using Inkscape.
Learning Objectives (Slide) In this tutorial we will learn to-
  • Create text on path
  • Create text on shape
  • Image inside text
  • Text in perspective
  • Cut out text
System requirement (Slide) To record this tutorial, I am using-
  • Ubuntu Linux 14.04 OS
  • Inkscape version 0.48.4
Open Inkscape Let us open Inkscape.
Click on Text tool First, we will learn how to create text on a path. Click on Text tool.
Type “Spoken Tutorial is an Audio-Video tutorial Type the sentence “Spoken Tutorial is an Audio-Video tutorial” on the canvas.
Click on Bezier tool


Draw a tilde path

Recall that we had learnt to create path using the earlier. So, click on Bezier tool.


Click on the canvas and draw a tilde shape like path, below the text.

Select both Select both the text and the path.
Go to Text menu.


Click on Put on Path.

Go to Text menu and click on Put on Path option.


Observe our text is formed on the path.

Click anywhere on the canvas to deselect all.
Click on Text tool Select the Text tool and click on the starting point of the text.
Press Space bar several times Give some spaces by pressing space bar to adjust the text on the path.
Click and drag the handles Now select the path. Using the handles resize the path.


Observe that the text transforms according to the resizing of the path.

Go to Text menu >> Remove from Path To remove the text from the path, go to Text menu.

Click on Remove from Path.

Press Ctrl + Z Observe that the path is now removed. Press Ctrl + Z to undo this action.


<<PAUSE>>

Next, we will learn how to insert text into a shape.
Create a hexagon. Using Polygon tool , create a hexagon. Now we will insert some text inside the hexagon.
Open LO Writer >> Press Ctrl + A >> Press Ctrl + C I will copy some text from a LibreOffice Writer file that I had saved ealier.


Press Ctrl + A to select the text and press Ctrl + C to copy them.
