Curved text possible?

[William de Smet]

Hi Craig,

The text will mostly be names at start (but could also be more words in the
future).
Draw with polyLines. Didn't think of that. A lot of coding I think.

Then I could also use SVG files to replace the text of the field.
Maybe easier to enlarge, rotate a bit and give another backgroundcolor?

The number of chars of fld "name" gives me the number of letters.
Is there a quick way to define which letter on which place in the name?




groeten,

William
