What's the best method for applying text to a curved path? If it's at
all possible, I'd like to use something like Image Events rather than
Illustrator for speed and volume reasons.
Alternatively, has any brainiac got an algorithm for taking cut out
letters and working out by how much they should be rotated and what
the offset should be to make them appear in a smooth curve? (I can
get a tightly cropped letter and get its dimensions, what I need to
figure out is what the angle of rotation and offset should be.
Probably, I can get away with a rough approximation but if someone
has something sitting on their shelves...).
As I don't know where to start with such an algorithm, URLs to
vaguely relevant info would be much appreciated. (I was Googling for
a couple of hours last night and this morning but haven't found
anything t0o relevant yet).
TIA
