Revision as of 17:20, 8 September 2015

Time
Narration
00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Text Manipulation using Inkscape.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn to-
00:09 * Create text on path
00:11 * Create text on shape
00:13 * Image inside text
00:15 * Text in perspective
00:17 * Cut-out text.
00:19 To record this tutorial, I am using-
00:22 Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
00:25 Inkscape version 0.48.4
00:28 Let us open Inkscape.
00:31 First, we will learn how to create text on a path. Click on Text tool.
00:36 Type the sentence “Spoken Tutorial is an Audio-Video tutorial” on the canvas.
00:43 Reduce the font size to 20.
00:46 Recall that we had learnt to create path using the Bezier tool in earlier tutorial.
00:51 So, click on it.
00:53 Click on the canvas and draw a tilde shape like path, below the text.
00:59 Select both the text and the path.
01:03 Go to Text menu and click on Put on Path option.
01:08 Observe our text is formed on the path.
01:12 Click anywhere on the canvas to deselect all.
01:16 Select the Text tool and click on the starting point of the text.
01:21 Give some spaces by pressing space bar to adjust the text on the path.
01:28 Now, select the path and click on Node tool.
01:35 Using the handles, resize the path.
01:39 Observe that the text transforms according to the resizing of the path.
01:45 To remove the text from the path, select the text.
01:49 Go to Text menu.
01:51 Click on Remove from Path.
01:54 Observe that the path is now removed.
01:57 Press Ctrl + Z to undo this action.
02:01 Next, we will learn how to insert text into a shape.
02:05 Using Polygon tool, create a hexagon.
02:09 Now we will insert some text inside the hexagon.
02:14 I will copy some text from a LibreOffice Writer file that I had saved earlier.
02:19 Press Ctrl + A to select the text and press Ctrl + C to copy them.
02:25 Now, come back to Inkscape.
02:27 Click on the Text tool.
02:30 Press Ctrl + V below the hexagon to paste the text.
02:35 Select both the text and the hexagon.
02:39 Now go to Text menu.
02:41 Click on Flow into Frame.
02:45 Now, our text is inserted inside the hexagon.
02:49 Reduce the font size to 10 to make all the texts visible.
02:54 To remove the Flow, go to Text menu and click on Unflow.
03:00 Observe that the text has disappeared. Press Ctrl + Z to undo this action.
03:07 Now we will learn how to create text on an image.
03:11 First let us import an image. Go to File. Click on Import.
03:19 I have saved an image in the Pictures folder.
03:25 Now we have the image on our canvas.
03:29 Select it and go to Object menu.
03:33 Click on Pattern and Object to Pattern.
03:38 Using the Text tool, type: “SPOKEN TUTORIAL” under the image.
03:44 Make this text Bold.
03:47 Go to Object menu. Click on Fill and Stroke option.
03:52 Click Pattern under the Fill tab. Now the image is formed on the text.
04:01 To adjust the image, click on the Node tool.
04:04 We can see a square handle and a circular handle on the image.
04:08 Click on the circular handle to rotate the image on the text.
04:13 Click on the square handle to resize it.
04:17 Next, we will learn how to create text in a perspective.
04:21 Type “SPOKEN” on the canvas.
04:24 Go to Path menu and click on Object to Path.
04:30 Next, let us draw the path by selecting Bezier curve.
04:34 Start drawing the path from the left bottom.
04:38 Draw a rectangle in perspective with larger side at the left side and smaller side at the right.
04:46 First select the text and then the rectangular path.
04:50 Go to Extensions, click on Modify Path and then on Perspective.
04:57 Now, we can see that the text appears in perspective.
05:01 Note the text takes the starting point and direction of the path.
05:07 Next, let us create the text in another perspective.
05:11 Type “TUTORIAL” on the canvas.
05:15 Go to Path menu and click on Object to Path.
05:19 Draw a similar perspective rectangular path using Bezier tool.
05:24 This time, start from left top corner and continue in a clockwise direction.
05:30 First select the text and then the path.
05:34 Go to Extensions, Modify Path and then on Perspective.
05:42 Now we see the text appears from top to bottom.
05:46 This is because the text is aligned, based on the starting point of the path.
05:51 Lastly, we will learn about cut-out text.
05:55 Create a rectangle and type the word “INKSCAPE” on the top of the rectangle.
06:01 Select both. Go to Path menu. Select Difference option.
06:08 Observe what happens on the canvas.
06:11 We will learn one more method of creating cut-out text.
06:15 Again, type the word “INKSCAPE”
06:17 Go to Object menu and Click on Fill and Stroke.
06:21 Go to Stroke paint tab, click on Flat color.
06:25 Go to Stroke style tab and change the width parameter to 2.
06:30 Go to Fill tab and click on No paint.
06:35 Observe a cut out shape has formed on our text.
06:38 Let us summarize.
06:40 In this tutorial, we learnt to-
06:42 * Create text on path
06:44 * Create text on shape
06:46 * Image inside text
06:48 * Text in perspective and
06:49 * Cut-out text.
06:51 Here are a few assignments for you.
06:54 Create the text “Learn FOSS using Spoken Tutorial” in a wavy path.
06:59 Draw a Trapezoid using Bezier tool.
07:02 Copy the text from the code file and paste it inside the Trapezoid.
07:07 Insert the text “INKSCAPE” on a colorful image.
07:10 Create the text “INKSCAPE” in perspective.
07:13 Create a cut-out text for “SPOKEN TUTORIAL”.
07:17 Your completed assignment should look like this.
07:21 The video available at the following link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Please watch it.
07:27 The Spoken Tutorial Project team conducts workshops and gives certificates for those who pass an online test.
07:34 For more details, please write to us.
