<p>Hi Phillip,</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">So I have tried this before, and with Fabiens answer I did manage to get stretchable and rotatable text. However I could not figure out how to bend it, with this method. My solution was to use tikz inside of ipe. I am not sure if it is fine to attach files here, so I will just include my solution as a snippet below:</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">These two lines need to go into the Latex preamble under Edit-> Document properties:</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>
</tt></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\usepackage{tikz} </tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\usetikzlibrary{decorations.text}</tt></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">And inside the document I added a minipage text object with the following content:
</p>
<tt></tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\begin{tikzpicture}</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\node (One) at (-3,0) {}; </tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\node (Two) at (3,0) {};</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\def\myshift#1{\raisebox{-2ex}}</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\path [->,thick,postaction={decorate,decoration={text along path,text align=center,text={|\myshift|Parameterized Algorithms}}}] (One) to [bend left=45] (Two);</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\def\myshift#1{\raisebox{-4ex}}</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\path [->,thick,postaction={decorate,decoration={text along path,text align=center,text={|\myshift|in various Settings}}}] (One) to [bend left=45] (Two);</tt></p>
<tt>
</tt>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>\end{tikzpicture}</tt></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><tt>
</tt></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">Some comments:</p>
<ul>
<li>I am not very familiar with tikz and copied most of this code from an example of bent text in tikz
</li>
<li>The text does not adhere to its bounding box anymore and might get cut off, which is why I sometimes added a couple of lines with just a white dot (invisible on white background) as padding to the top.</li>
<li>The method basically defines two points and draws a bent path between them which has some text on it</li>
<li>To avoid overlap between multiple lined text, the lines are shifted down by 2ex and 4ex</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope this helps and best regards,
Soeren

<br>
is it possible to generate in IPE a curved text? More
specifically: I <br>
have a spline and want the text to follow its shape. Can this
be done?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
