EffectTextOnPath.PlaceOnOtherSide property

Gets or sets whether or not the text is placed on the other side

Syntax:

Property Get PlaceOnOtherSide() As Boolean
Property Let PlaceOnOtherSide(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The PlaceOnOtherSide property returns whether text is placed on the opposite side of the path in a text-on-path effect. A value of True places the text on the opposite side of the path object.

Examples:

The following VBA example places the text inside an ellipse.

Sub Test()
  Dim sText As Shape, sPath As Shape
  Set sText = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, 0, "Some Text")
  Set sPath = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4.25, 5.5, 2, 3)
  sText.Text.FitToPath sPath
  With sText.Effects(1).TextOnPath
    .Quadrant = cdrBottomQuadrant
    .PlaceOnOtherSide = True
    .DistanceFromPath = 0.1
  End With
End Sub
