Hey, tried the SVG question, this is the answer:
33B:
.....
User: How are you doing today?
Vicky: Today, I'm doing well, thank you for asking! How about you?
User: I am doing great! what can I use to draw curved text in an SVG?
Vicky: To draw curved text in an SVG, you can use the element. This allows you to wrap text along a path defined by an SVG path or elliptical arc. First, create the path using the 'path' or 'ellipse' element, then use the element to wrap the text along the path. Here's an example:
+++
html
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="800" height="600" viewBox="0 0 800 600">
<path id="curve" d="M200,200 Q400,200 400,400" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="2"/>
<text text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="central" x="300" y="300" text-path="url(#curve)">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
</text>
</svg>
+++
In this example, a quadratic curve is defined using the 'Q' command in the 'path' element, and the text is wrapped along the curve using the element with the 'url(#curve)' attribute. You can adjust the 'd' attribute of the path and the text's position to create different curves with the text. .....

User: what can I use to draw curved text in an SVG?
Vicky: In SVG, you can use the "textPath" element to create curved text. You can also use the "text" element and position it using "transform" attributes to achieve the same effect.
User:Can you give me a code example for that?
Vicky: Sure! Here's an example using the "textPath" element:
+++
php
<svg width="100" height="100">
<text xlink:href="#text1" y="50" text-anchor="middle" font-size="20">
This text has a curved path.
</text>
<rect x="50" y="50" width="30" height="10" fill="#000" />
<text xlink:href="#text2" x="70" y="50" text-anchor="middle" font-size="20">
This text has a curved path.
</text>
</svg>
+++
And here's an example using the "text" element:
+++
php
<svg width="100" height="100">
<text xlink:href="#text1" y="50" text-anchor="middle" font-size="20">
This text has a curved path.
</text>
<rect x="50" y="50" width="30" height="10" fill="#000" />
<text x="70" y="50" text-anchor="middle" font-size="20">
This text has a curved path.
</text>
</svg>
+++
*Note that you'll need to define the curved path for each text element using an SVG path string. In this case, the path strings are #text1
and #text2
.
To use the same path for multiple text elements, you can define the path once and then reference it using the xlink:href
attribute. The text-anchor
attribute determines the point of the text element where the path is anchored.*
.....
(no idea why Lemmy doesn't italicize that last text part)
13B-Vicky gave more code, no idea which code example is better. 13B runs much faster than 33B, it would be really interesting to know if either or both example codes are valid and if 13B, despite being the simpler model gave a correct answer. 33B is a preview model not the final version.
What I am noticing is that neither has actually used the textPath element, though 33B used text-path, no idea if that exists.
Can anyone who knows how to write code weigh in on this?
Thanks!
Sure!
