540 Corel PaintShop Pro X7 User Guide
Fitting text to a path
Every vector object has a path that defines its shape. You can fit vector
text to a path to create fun and interesting effects.
Corel PaintShop Pro aligns the text along the path, starting from the
spot where you click to insert it. You can also set the alignment style
for the text: left-aligned text starts where you click; centered text is
centered on the spot where you click; and right-aligned text ends
where you click. When you fit your text to a path, you can adjust the
distance between the text and the path.
Text is displayed differently on open and closed paths. Open paths are
lines on which the start and end nodes do not meet; closed paths are
shapes such as circles, squares, and rectangles. On open paths, text
that is longer than the path hangs from the end. The angle of the last
line segment determines the direction in which the text hangs. On
closed paths, text that is longer than the path wraps around itself. For
more information about lines and shapes, see “Editing shapes” on
page 563.
