Text on Path - question
Hi there,
I put a text on a circle. Now, I want to delete the circle because I just need the text string. But when I delete the circle, the text goes back to a linear position ..??
Thanks for any help,
Tom

either convert the text object into a path (but it won't be editable anymore as text) or just make the circle invisible (set fill and stroke to none)

There are several ways to address this. Here are three quick ways. One, put the circle on a different layer and turn the layer off. Two, turn off the fill of the circle or make it transparent. Three, after you place text on a path, convert the text to a path then delete the circle. ;)

Heathenx and Jiho, thank you, I converted it to a path :-)
Best,

I've posted an n-up layout effect at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1747339&gro...
want four postcards on an a4/letter page, or 3x10 mailing labels? This effect creates the layouts quickly and easily complete with clones, cutting guides and margins. The docs. are a bit verbose, it's not really as complicated as I made it seem :-}

(best viewed with... Inkscape! - text disappears for me in the default Ubuntu viewer app.)
Tech. note - it uses the ElementTree API, so it requires either Python 2.5 *or* the lxml package *or* the ElementTree package.
