Curve text alongside a banner

Hello,
I am a beginner. I bought a ready-for-use Adobe Illustrator document containing a green banner (among other things). I would like to put text inside this banner, like this :
But I want this text to be curved precisely alongside the banner. I looked in the Adobe Illustrator menu, and I found an Envelope Warp tool, and I selected Arc -6 % :
The problem is that Arc -6 % is not precise. I can approximate the exact percentage by trial and error, but it's not a viable solution for me, because I have to make many banners, with different texts, and the percentage changes each time with the length of the text.
How to curve the text more precisely ?

Thank you very much, it worked, but I have a new problem : I cannot center the text precisely to the center of the banner. The text box is set to the size and position of the banner, the paragraph is aligned to the center, but for some reason, there is a big margin on the left. See image :
Any idea ?

Is it possible to curve text into an arc, similar to using MS wordArt? Thanks!

Hello - can anyone tell me if it is possible to curve words/text into an arc in Pages, similar to doing it in MS WordArt? I'd like to curve words around an image, sort of like creating a logo. Any ideas are appreciated.

Curving text in Pages directly is not possible in either iOS or OSX versions. There are apps for OSX that can do it - Art Text 2 is one that works well. As for iOS, there don't seem to be any apps I could find that do what you want. Best bet: curve your text on a Mac and import into iPad if needed there.

How to curve text

How can I curve text in Pages (trying to align text with the bottom of a circle)

yeah, I saw that. I guess I was hoping it was in Pages in the newer version and that someone could tell me where. I was told at 1to1 that Pages was my best bet for graphics outside of spending months learning a full graphics program. What I did not expect was less graphics capability than even in Powerpoint. Have to buy another program, sigh....

Keynote 08 (or 09), How can I create Curved Text? Text 'bent' around arc?

Help,
I have this frustrating situation. I want to use the move and scale animation feature for objects in Keynote 08. But on many slides, I want to have Text Curved or Bent, around an arc shape (around a graphic we use). Now Powerpoint 08 has this easy way of Editing any text into a curved or arc shape. But it does not have the motion and scale object feature. Key note has the motion feature but it seems can't handle curved text?

You can't curve text in Keynote, so there's no way to animate a curve around a shape. However, if you find that just curved text will do even if you can't animate it, you'd have to use something like ArtText.

Just slide the font size slider in the Character panel back and forth until the font size suits you.

Curved text with CFImage

Hello,
Does anyone know if you can do curved text in CFImage? I know
there's ImageDrawText, but I'm not sure if it can do curves.
Thanks,
Peter

Here's what I came up with but the text appears jagged with
smaller fonts. I think it's because the arc falls in between two
coordinates sometimes, making it impossible to land on the correct
pixel each time. Or maybe there's another reason? Thanks to
cfsearching who came up with the font measurement technique. I
might end up going with some third party tool.
Here it is:

Creating curved text

Hi all,
i'm playing around with the graphics features of flex 4, and i'm wondering if
it's possible to create curved text with fxg.
Specifically, i'd like to create a round button component, where the label is curved.
Anoyne knows it's possible to accomplish this ?
thanks!

In theory you could curve text with fxg but it would be a lot of work, there are plenty of options to do text curving including using a filter to apply a curvature to a text field. The link below is interesting as3 way for text curvature.

And this link is about the fxg specification

Curved text

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how I can get text to curve in the same way as the word "Primo" in the following logo? Is there an easy way to do this or would I have to manually adjust the points on the path?
Appreciate any advice.

Set the text.
Object>EnvelopeDistort>MakeWithMesh.
One row, one column.
Mesh Tool: Click the left or right edge of the Envelope to add a horizontal divider at the X-height. This acts as a "holding" divider to prevent distortions of the bottom edge from affecting portions in the top row.
The text is still editable by using Object>EnvelopeDistort>EditContent.
Be advised, though, this is not really the kind of treatment in your example. Note that the O is not distorted, but merely scaled. Hand-drawn treatments of this kind of thing done with careful discernment regarding the type proportions is always better than the raw results of envelope distortions. Example: In the screenshot, note the ugly disproportions of the three instances of lowercase e. A good and proper logotype would not commit such sins.

How do curve text to another layer?

Hello,
I am new to Photoshop, so any help would be great. I have a layer of a music staff with wavy lines. I want to create a new text layer to go on the staff and curve exactly to the lines in the staff. I've tried curve, warp, distort...all of those, but I can't get it perfect. Is there any way to curve a layer exactly to another layer? If it helps at all, I included a screen shot below. Any insight would be appreciated.

Create a path the shape of the staff lines and if you place your text cursor over the path, you will see it change from a square to an angles line. You can then click and the text will follow the path. After you type the text, you can press ctrl/cmd at the beginning of the text line and click to drag the text along the path.

[JavaFX] how to curve text like rainbow?

Hi,
sorry for my bad english... I'm Italian... :)
I'm working with JavaFX.
I'd like to know if exist a way to curve a text like rainbow.
Thank's in advance...

You mean slide the entire text or 1 letter at a time ?
If it's the entire text, 1 Text object is enough :
var scene: Scene;
def text: Text = Text {
            font: Font {
                size: 16
            y: 30
            content: "Application content"
Stage {
    title: "Application title"
    scene: scene = Scene {
        width: 250
        height: 80
        content: [
            text
def anim: TranslateTransition = TranslateTransition {
            repeatCount: 5
            duration: 5s
            fromX: -text.layoutBounds.width
            toX: 50
            node: text
anim.play();If it's 1 letter at a time it is 1 Text per character. Easy to code (it's similar to the one above but with more Text nodes), but you might end doing tons of tests to figure out the proper timing.
The main issue here is still the lack of proper graphical animation tool in FX.
Oh by the way, as PhiLho pointed out, can do text along a path using PathTransition and 1 Text per character too... again tons of test to figure out proper character spacing and timing. It's not impossible... jut overly long and completly inconvenient without advanced tools.

How to add an image or button to an AdvancedDataGrid cell with wrapped text alongside

I have an advanced data grid with which i need to add either
images or buttons to individual cells alongside the text.
This i can do, but what i can't figure out is how to make the
text wrap.
Currently, I can make cell text wrap by using an itemRenderer
which extends Text. Or, I can add an image or button to a cell by
using an itemRenderer which extends HBox and contains an image or
button child. To this HBox i can add a Text or Label object also,
but i can't make the text wrap.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/solutions????
Thanks
Mark

I'd look at the code for AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer
and try to see
what keeps it from displaying an icon in the columns that are
not grouping
columns. I'd then extend it to change that and use an icon
function.

Curved text effect

Hello,
I'm hoping one of the fireworks legends can help me out with
this. I need to create text where the top edge of the text curves
upwards and the bottom edge of the text curves downwards.
Example of what I'm looking for here.
http://www.sector-three.com/lava/textsample.jpg
I've tried converting the text to paths, then using the
distort tool, pulling the four corners out, but it doesn't give me
the smooth curve I'm looking for.
Thanks everyone.
