I have some questions about the text to path[1] tool.
1) Is there a way to control where will the text be placed after you run this tool? For instance, I draw a stroke, write my text, then select the two elements and go to menu text->text to path, then the text follows the stroke (I assume from the 'fill side'). However, if wanted to place the text in a paticular part or segment of the stroke, how would I do it? (a not so elegant solution that occurs to me is using empty spaces by placing tabs or the like with the text tool).
2) Is there a way to make the text "adapt" when I move the text element along the course of the stroke to that of the stroke? I don't know if I made much sense there, but imagine a winding line, when I place the text in the path, what it will do is place the text at the begining of the line (or strarting point, I assume), so if I move the text along the line, it retains the 'shape' of the starting segment of the line, and does not adapt to that of the other segments of the line through its course, is there a way to attain this? Is it a thought of feature or is it simply not possible to do?
Thanks in advance, and thank you VERY much for this incredible app, Inkscape is, keep up the good work!
[1] I am not sure that is the name in the English version of Inkscape, as I use a spanish session, my Inkscape is in Spanish, and the name of the tool in Spanish is "poner en trayecto".
