I would recommend you play around with it a bit and let your creativity run wild! This can work with any path you’d like! Here’s how it looks applied to a wavy line…Īnd there’s a lot more that the pattern along path feature can do, like add spaces between each object, stretch out a single object rather than repeat it, etc. Once you click the link button, it will tell Inkscape to take whatever you have copied to your clipboard and wrap copies of it around your selected path…

In the menu, select “ Repeated, stretched” from the drop down menu, then click the lock icon on the right hand side that reads “link” when you hover your cursor over it. Nothing will happen to your design just yet, but the Pattern Along Path menu should populate. Otherwise, the Interpolate not working.Select the circle then navigate to Path -> Path Effects and choose Pattern Along Path from the drop down menu and click Add.

It’s Done!Įasy, right? the critical thing to activate the Interpolate Effect to the letters is to Ungroup the text. You can add more text element to the canvas.

Step 3Ĭreate a path effect in Path > Path Effects > Envelope deformation. This effect deforms a path with four control paths, the top, right, left, and the bottom bend path. Tips: Select the first object, the back one (the minor), and the second is the original to define the result from small to big.ĭo the same method to all letters. Increase the Interpolation Steps to 20 or more. First, duplicate the M Letter and scale it down with Shift+S, hold Ctrl+Shift while scaling to create a proportional scale.Ĭreate an interpolate effect by in Extensions > Generate from Path > Interpolate. Now we are going to create the Interpolate effect.

What you will learnĬreate a text with Text Tool (T), and type a word with Raleway Fonts with Semi-Bold type.Ĭonvert it to the Path in Path> Object to Path because we are going to edit the text with path effects.Īnd ungroup the text in Path > Object to Path to separate the word into letters.Ĭhange the letter color to Eerie Black (#1c1c1cff) with the dropper tool to take the color sample and give a white stroke to the letter. In today’s tutorial, we will create a text effect with Interpolate and use the path effect to slightly bend the text in Inkscape.
