This tutorial will present you what you can do with the <menuchoice>Artistic Text Shape</menuchoice>. While this tutorial was done using '''Karbon''', the shape is available in other '''Calligra''' applications, and will work in a similar way.‎

Edit

In this lesson you will * create a text shape * associate a text shape with a path‎

Edit

{{Tip|If a docker is not visible, you can either go to the <menuchoice>Settings -> Dockers</menuchoice> menu, or right-click on a docker title, and then you can make that docker visible.}}‎

== First step with a text shape ==‎

{|class="tablecenter vertical-centered" |[[Image:Add-artistic-text-shape.png]] || To add an artistic text shape, go to the <menuchoice>Add shape</menuchoice> docker, click on the <menuchoice>Artistic Text</menuchoice> icon, and drag it to the canvas. |}‎

Edit

After adding the shape, you might want to edit the text and display something more interesting. To do this, you need to activate the <menuchoice>artistic text shape tool</menuchoice>, either by double clicking on the newly created shape, or selecting [[Image:Artistictext-tool.png|16px]] in the toolbox. Then you can change the text to something like this.‎

{|class="tablecenter vertical-centered" | Since you want a cool text, you will need to change the font. This is done by changing the properties in the <menuchoice>shape properties</menuchoice> docker, where you can change font, the style, and also the ''Offset'' which will be used to control the position of the text on a path shape. || [[Image:Shape-properties-artistic-text-shape.png]] |}‎

Edit

After changing the <menuchoice>font</menuchoice> to "Steve", the <menuchoice>size</menuchoice> to 30pt, and setting <menuchoice>bold</menuchoice>, you can have the following shape in your canvas: [[Image:Cool-artistic-text-shape.png|center]]‎

== Path follower ==‎

Edit

This is still a very straight, flat text. Now we want a curvy text. To do this, we will need to create a path, for instance, using the <menuchoice>Freehand Path Drawing Tool</menuchoice> [[Image:Draw-freehand.png]].‎

Edit

You should have something like this:‎

Edit

To associate the text with the curve, you need to activate the <menuchoice>artistic text tool</menuchoice> by double clicking on the text, or selecting [[Image:Artistictext-tool.png|16px]].‎

Edit

Then, if you move the mouse on top of the curve you will see the cursor changing to a hand, you will need to doubleclick on the curve to attach the path. Using the offset in the <menuchoice>Shape properties</menuchoice> docker, you can adjust the text to get the following result:‎

Edit

You can detach the path by clicking on [[Image:Artistictext-detach-path.png]]. You can <menuchoice>translate</menuchoice>, <menuchoice>rotate</menuchoice> and <menuchoice>edit</menuchoice> the text. If you change the curve, then the text will be updated.‎
