Center text inside shape in titler?

Is there any way to center text inside a shape within the titler?   For example let's say I use the Rounded Rectangle Tool to create a shape and put it in the lower third of title area, then use the Text Tool to type in a line of text.  For now I'm having to manually position the text over the shape.  Curious if there is anyway to get the equivalent of the Center buttons for a text on shape situation?   If my question / situation doesn't make sense here, I can post a screen shot.   Thanks.

However, as others might encounter the same issue, and could learn from this thread, I think that it would be good to keep it up.
Yes, both Objects (whether Text, Shape, etc.) need to be Selected, to use the Alignment Tools. Glad that you found that.
Good luck,

  • How to center text in shapes

    how to center text in shapes. specifically circles.  I want text to be centered directly in the middle

    A lot depends on what you mean by centered, the number of lines of text, the actual font, and whether there are descenders.
    Using vertical justification set to centered may or may not work for you, depending on the above factors, as it depends on the baseline, I believe, rather than the acutal glyph dimensions. You could try adding baseline shift, I suppose, to make fine vertical adjustments, or you can bite the bullet and use the old-fashioned method of two frames.

  • Fitting text inside shape (Justification?)

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to find a way to fit a text inside a shape and to align it exactly to the shape borders, I was trying to play with the justification panel under the paragraph link but couldn't make it work,
    I was trying to fit my text inside a shape look like the number 7 so eventually when a viewer see it they can recognize the number 7 without a stroke - only by the text insize the shape, above is an example of what happe when I try the same with a circular shape - I would like the test to fit in nicely filling the entire circle.
    Thanks,
    Raanan.

    The Justify all lines selection is key. Is this what you're looking for?

  • "Vertical Align Center" Text and a Shape

    Hi designers,
    I wonder if anyone could give me a hand with aligning text and shapes? I would like to align a number to the center of a circle. "Horizontal Align Center" works well. "Vertical Align Center", however, does not yield the desired result. The number turns out to be higher in the cycle (see figure below). The distance from the top of the circle to the top of the number zero, X, is shorter than the distance between the bottom of the circle and the bottom of the number zero. Is it possible to equal these two distances?

    Hi Mylenium,
    Thank you very much for you very prompt reply, which solves the problem very effectively.
    If you do not mind, I have got two further questions.
    Firstly, is there an option similar to "Align to Path: Centre" under "Type on a Path Options" that changes how text is aligned?
    Secondly, does InDesign offer the aforementioned function?
    I sometimes label a large quantity of locations with alphanumeric characters, which are subject to frequent changes, and therefore would like to preserve the text if possible. I have heard that manipulating text is InDesign's area of expertise. If this function is not available in Illustrator but offered by InDesign, I can jot down another reason for acquiring the latter and split the workflow in the future.
    Thanks,
    Haobo

  • Placing text inside curved shape

    i am having bit trouble placing the text inside this custom shape (i used custom shape tool)
    I followed one of the post found here Fitting text inside a custom shape but i couldn't get any results at all. Would someone maybe try to give me exact instructions on how to do this please.
    I would like to place this text inside yellow shape and text should follow the curved path of the shape.

    It's easier to apply the flag warp to both the Type and Shape layers at the same time, so start with your text, and create the shape layer below it.  Select both layers, and right click and choose Convert to Smart Object.  Then Free Transform > Warp

  • How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available:  Text (plain) and Paragraph.  (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
    If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
    double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
    Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
    So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

  • Center text in Label

    Hola everyone!
    I'm trying to center the text inside a label, like this:
    Stage {
        title: "Application title"
        scene: Scene {
            width: 500, height: 200
            content: [
                Label {
                    text: "Label"
                    width: 500
                    height: 200
                    hpos: HPos.CENTER
    }The text should be in the center of the frame but... upss!! it's in the upper-left corner
    I realized that the way it works is to bind the width and height:
    width: bind 500
    heght: bind 200Now, the text is perfectly centered, but bindind a constant number squeaks a lot!
    Is this a bug? Or is the bug inside my mind? XD

    Since Labels are Resizable, the correct way to set the size is to use LayoutInfo. For example,
    Stage {
       title: "Application title"
       scene: Scene {
           width: 500, height: 200
           content: [
               Label {
                   text: "Label"
                   layoutInfo: LayoutInfo {
                       width: 500
                       height: 200
                   hpos: HPos.CENTER
    }See Amy Fowler's blog for an in-depth look at layout in JavaFX.

  • Center text vertically in 6i

    I was wondering if there was a way to center text vertically in a text field in forms 6i.
    I have a banner at the top of my form as a text item, and I need the value(s) to be centered horizontally(which I have already done) and vertically which I am wondering how to do. Could someone please tell me how?
    TIA
    C

    It does not. It's specific to table cells, or things with the
    table-cell
    display style.

  • How do I center text in Final cut Pro?

    Hi, does anyone know how to directly center text with more than one line of text in Final Cut Pro?
    If I have more than one line it doesn't seem to center properly. I've tried wireframe (which is inaccurate), center values (which doesn't work) and Boris 3D (which does the job but the space between letters isn't accurate so I need to try an alternative method).
    Any ideas?

    In Title 3D you use the Position X/Y button to adjust the height. The spacing between the letters in Title 3D can be adjusted both in tracking and in kerning by placing the cursor between a letter pair. Title 3D is perhaps one of the most accurate and precise text positioning titlers available in any software.

  • How to center text in Pages to show correctly on iBook Reader

    Hi,
    First, I have to say that I posted the same question on ''Creating ePubs'' discussioun page but nobody could help.
    I am trying something really easy but could not solve it. Hope someone can help.
    Ok, I know that if I choose ''Chapte Name'' as a pharagraph style, iBook reader automatically puts it into a new page, so the new page starts with the chapter name on top. I dont have any problems with my chapters.
    However, I want my book to start with a page that has a brief info about the author. I want this info in the middle of the page (also centered in the middle). Than I want to go to the second page with a ''dedication'' part where I write my thanks to people. I also want this in the middle and centered. And finally I want to add my book title and author name together on the 3rd page. After that the chapters will start.
    So, as I told you, the chapters work just fine. But when I try to center the text in the first 3 pages, (I press return several times on my keybord to do it) the pages interwine with each other. For example, the last part of page 2 goes on top of page 3.
    I think this happens because I press the return key to center the texts. So, is there a way to lock texts to the pages where they belong to prevent them to interwine with other pages even if I press return to center the text
    OR
    Is there another way to center text to prevent them to interwine with other pages...
    Thank you

    One of the consequences of working all night on this was that there is errata, or improved insight.
    As I mentioned previously, each of the four document parts that I tested is in its own section. This means that each of the first three document icons, in thumbnail view, has its own distinct yellow race track around it. The chapter/body text is in a fourth multi-page section.
    On the first page, with invisibles and layout mode shown, I have a ¶ (pilcrow) showing on line 1, column 1. If I place the cursor before this mark, the text inspector shows the following:
    Style is body
    Character spacing is 0%
    Line spacing is single (1)
    Before paragraph is set to 172 pt.
    After paragraph is set to 6 pt.
    Now, if I place the cursor before the About the Author string:
    Ruler set to 1.6 inches
    Style is Heading 1
    Character spacing is 0%
    Line Spscing is single (1)
    Before paragraph is set to 196 pt
    After paragraph is set to 6 pt
    Place cursor between end of Author and Pilcrow and press return.
    With the cursor before the author description:
    Style is body
    My font choice was Baskerville, Regular 12 pt.
    Left ruler set to 1.6 inches. Right ruler to 6.2 inches.
    Character spacing is -4%
    Line-height is set at multiple (1.2)
    Before paragraph is 0
    After paragraph is 12 pt.
    Position cursor between last character and pilcrow - press return.
    Insert section break
    This is all there is too my first page:
    For the Dedication page:
    Line 1, Col 1 has the pilcrow and style is body
    Character spacing is 0%
    Line height is single (1)
    Before and After paragraph are set to 0
    With the cursor just before Dedication:
    Left ruler set at 2.6 inches
    Style is Heading 1
    Character spacing is 0
    Line height is 1.5
    Before paragraph set to 190 pt
    After paragraph set to 0 (yeah, raised my eyebrow too)
    Place cursor between trailing n and pilcrow, press return.
    With cursor on first line of names, just prior to first character:
    Style is body text with Baskerville Regular 12 pt override.
    Text justification is left.
    Left ruler is set to 2.9 inches
    Right ruler is set to 6.7 inches
    Character spacing is 0
    Line-height is 1.2
    Before and after paragraph are 0
    Insert cursor before last Pilcrow and press return
    On the next line, there is a Pilcrow at col 1, place the cursor in front of it.
    Style is body style
    Character spacing is 0
    Line-height is multiple (1.2)
    Before paragraph is 0
    After paragraph is 216 pt.
    Press return to set the jump.
    Insert section break
    You can likely insert step 14 at step 7 and skip 9 - 13. It was late.
    The Dedication page looks like this:
    Hopefully, you missed something, or it wasn't sufficiently explained previously. I hope you can duplicate the above and discover unique, centered content in your ePub.

  • Fitting text inside an ellipse

    I was wondering if there is any way of using JTextPane with some tweekings to fit a text inside a basic shape like an ellipse. The idea is to be able to edit the text inside the shape.
    There are a lot of classes in the swing.text package but it's really hard to guess what could be useful for this purpose. Would it be possible to set a different width for each line in a JTextPane ?
    Any thought about this difficult task is welcome.

    I am also trying to get the same. but not yet.

  • Text inside the portlet is cutting off

    I have a process portlets and the text inside the portlet is cutting off. For example, instead of displaying the name of the process "Certificate of good standing" I get "Certificate of Goo..." How can I make the text wrap or show the full project name. I try placing the portlet in a full page, but it's still dose not fix it. Anyone know where it can be change?

    Here is the solution that I got from puspendu
    And it worked:
    From your question , I am assuming you are using the ALIP version of the BPM. The portlets UI are designed to only display that many characters for the application name and display the full name as html title field.
    If you really want to change you can go to the application.jsff file under ptjsp folder and change to display the applicaiton.name instead of applicaiton.shortname.

  • Pse 10 text inside a path

    The answer is yes, pse 10 also does text inside a path or in most any shape layer.
    MTSTUNER

    Those tools only do text on a path and unless you know how, not on regular shape layers or inside paths.
    To do type inside a path (shape layer) just make a shape layer and use the regular type tools by hovering
    the cursor inside the shape (path) until you see this symbol:
