That theoretically, because your browser could have reserved many control codes for its purposes Instance “New Image ” means that you can create a new canvas pressing +N. SVG-edit provides short-cuts for the most frequently used commands via control keys. The main menu offers many options (picture above) concerning mainly the creation and the Icons: the main menu, the edit source, the wireframe mode, show grid, undo and redo icons. The “ icon toolbar” basic set consist of six The right of the basic icons set adding new controls to permit you to move, resize and rotate the selected object. Toolbar” is contest sensitive, that means that the “ icon toolbar” looks changes whereas you areįor instance if you draw a rectangle and then click on it a new set of icons will be showed at One of the most important things you must to know about SVG-edit is that the “ icon “X” key in the same time, that you may press the enter-key and so on. In the following text the notation +X indicates that you may press control-key and Palette (on the left side), the color selection palette (under the canvas) and the layers selection box (hidden on the right side). Looking at the frame we may distinguish among the icon toolbar (above), the tools SVG-edit windows consists of two zones: a large central painting area ( canvas) and anĮxternal frame used as a support for palette of tools and/or colors. SVG-edit v2.6 preAlpha overlapped to BlueGriffon version 1.1.1 Release v2.6 available on web-site, if you are interested to SVG-Edit v2.6 preAlpha, embedded in BlueGriffon, which is a little different please make reference to the old tutorial. Please note: this tutorial makes reference to SVG-edit stable In this short introduction we will adopt final user point of view regarding SVG-edit like aīlack box, that means that we will ignore what happen inside. Otherwise, if you prefer, you can integrate SVG-edit capabilities in your HTML page, including a Opera, Crome and of course Internet Explorer 6. SVG-edit could be spawn by all the major browser: FireFox, Safari, If you need it just enter the following URL in your preferred browser: You don't need to bring SVG-edit with you on CD-ROM or pen-drive because SVG-edit is alwaysĪccessible through the net. When you edit web-pages on-line, trying to adapt or recycle available SVG pictures to illustrate a different text. We could apply this same method to any type of curved path.Written in JavaScript, SVG-edit has been designed to be at your side when you need more, that is See the Pen SVG Text Along a Curved Path by Geoff Graham ( on CodePen.

The rest is CSS! The exact font size will depend on the text itself and what font family is being used but, once you strike the right balance, the SVG itself will handle the responsiveness and ensure everything stays on the curve at any scale. See the Pen xrPbgx by Geoff Graham ( on CodePen. We could also do this in CSS, but we’re applying it inline directly in the SVG markup for the sake of this example. We don’t want that curve to be seen, so let’s give the path a transparent fill. See the Pen Kqywpe by Geoff Graham ( on CodePen. We can wrap our text in the tag and set it to follow the lines of our curved path by calling the path ID we set earlier. See the Pen ZyaYOw by Geoff Graham ( on CodePen. We’re not going to see anything yet, but we know the text is there off screen somewhere. Then, we drop content into the SVG using the tag and give it a width that matches the SVG viewBox dimensions. See the Pen NgwPYB by Geoff Graham ( on CodePen. Imagine we draw a curved line in SVG and give it an ID called curve.

We can flow text along a curved line with three tools built right into SVG:, and.
