simple graphic. Text on a curve

Egg justs did a video tutorial on it, it is a must see, that and a few others. When does he sleep. Totally amazing.

Fits in this forum quite well, actually.

Well, since it seems we want to keep this thread going forever, here is a make-believe radial organizational org chart.

Spacing the text will drive you nuts after a while :-}

Heheh I like that.

You now going to make a fully circular one, animated, so that you can show what lines up with what when the discs are turned?

Great chart but maybe "3D Enhancement" should be Pamela Anderson.
cheers all

Pretty cool, clements. Pretty cool.

Yes, I agree, really nice! And the colors are great!!!

The gradients are very nice, but Charles, what is your job in there. You didn't get any billing but Dracula got some.

It had to be done.

I like the old 'Wagon Wheel' effect Intbel, the outer blue circle spins clockwise and the other two circles spin anti-clockwise.

Thank you Egg..
For info: cloned the original. flipped horiz+vert and grouped into a circle.
Cut the circle into component parts, animated it (only three frames) then removed the lower half on each frame.

Animation is so easy with Xara X I'm surprised more folks don't use this facility.
