hi! can someone help me on how to achieve this kind of paragraph text inside of a shape (circle)? type on a path seems to wrap the outside and warping seems to use the whole paragraph on the one line. thanks!

Bonjour @elise_0720 ,

Pour que le texte soit au dessus du tracé et dans le bon sens, c'est simple, il suffit de changer le sens du tracé avant de placer le texte.

Pour inverser le sens du tracé, il faut utiliser l'outil plume (P) et pointer le point de départ de la spirale.

Remarque: le script Archimedean Spiral.jsx est limité à 1000points.

Ici maxi rounding times 40

I agree with Ton, type on a path and Archimedian Spiral is the way to go.

 

For Archimedean Spirals, my go to is using Inkscape. You have more control over how many turns to make.

For this particular graphic, the script Archimedian Spiral did not have enough turns.

 

Here I used 20 turns. Scissor cut the inside and delete.

 

The only tricky part about this graphic was getting text to read left to right, starting from the outside going inward.

To do this, I resized the spiral to fit the LP record. I also changed the direction of the path.

Lastly, I changed the path to Text on a path.

That looks good too! But you can also modify the script for the rounding times and radius increment.

You need to create an Archimedian spiral, this script can do that:

An click in the center with the Type on a path tool.
