The use of Firework fireworks 4 choreography Curved text effect

Skill

Fireworks is a set of bitmap and vector graphics editing process as one of the Web page graphics authoring system, with the help of vector graphics editing function, we can easily complete the various layout effects of the text. This article is to use this feature to create an ARC path, arc text effect for example to explain:

1, in fireworks 4 to create a white background of the 320x240 picture, using the tool Panel Text tool (text Tool) in the editing window input text "arc text effect production examples", set the font for the song, font size 30.

2, using the tool Panel line tool (lines Tool) in the bottom of the text to draw a width of about 300 lines, and then click on the tool panel pen Tool, so that the cursor into a pen tip shape, moving the cursor to the line, when the cursor with a plus sign, Hold down the left mouse button and drag, add two nodes to the line, click the tool panel's last selection tool (Subselection Tool, hollow cursor shape), drag the two-node handle in the middle of the line to make the line curved (Figure 1).

3, at the same time select lines and text, the implementation menu "Text/attach to Path" command, then you can see the text attached to the ARC path, so as to achieve the arc text effect, when the text is selected to remove the state, the ARC path will automatically disappear.

4, Edit changes arc text effect: If you are not satisfied with the arc text effect, you can through the menu command "Text/detach from path" to the text and ARC path, separate edit text or arc path, you can double-click the arc text directly in the text editor to modify the text If you are not satisfied with the way the text is attached to the path, you can go through the four options under Menu "Text/orientation": "Rotate Around path (rotate around paths), Vertical (vertical), Skew Vertical (vertical skew) and skew horizontal (horizontal skew) change the way text and paths are attached (the third add-on is shown in Figure 1), and you can also change the additional direction of text by using the Text/reverse Direction menu command ; You can change the starting position of the text on the path by using the object floating Panel (objects), and by opening the object panel (Figure 2) by using the Window/object command, you can see that the text is distorted by path (Transform Paths) in this panel. The text offset input box in the lower-right corner allows you to enter the starting position of the text along the path.

The above is in the fireworks 4 in the arc text effect of the concrete production steps, on the basis of this method, we can also create a round of text and other needs to make the text layout effect.
