Curved text in SVG isn't too hard, as long as you understand how to define different kinds of curved <path>
elements in SVG. When you have a curved <path>
defined in a <defs>
elements (usually just inside your root <svg>
), to make the text inside a <text>
element follow that <path>
, all that's required is to insert a <textPath>
inside the <text>
, with an xlink:href
attribute that links to the id
of the defined <path>
. The actual text for display also gets added inside the <textPath>
, like so:
<text>
<textPath xlink:href="#yourPath">
Your text
</textPath>
