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
