Hopefully this tut will be of some use.

Thank you Remus for the quick reply. But this doesn't help in this case.

Then here is another solution.

Neee, Pete, that's "lazy" label!

admittedly it is ... but wine does that to me.

Using a projected image can result in undesirable distortion, so here's another method that wraps the image instead of projecting it.

True, it can distort on the sides and it's especially noticeable if you want to cover a considerable amount of the curve.

I used the same "segment length count" for an example in an old forum topic - see the file here.

That's pretty nice, Gaieus. What the heck is it?

Nothing special - just the illustration of this wrapping technique; how you can do it without cropping the image (too big image size) or tiling it (too small image size).

That was still for a discussion over the Help Groups and the "text" was provided in the post.

Hello everybody!

Thank you Gaieus, Solo and Voder. I am overwhelmed by the replies.
These have been very helpful to me. I did not quite understand Solo's
method. And Voder has said about unsmoothing the line. How do you
do that?

Thanks once again

Unsmooth (or unhide) = Ctrl-Shift-Eraser. You can also just select the smoothed line and move the slider on the Smooth/Soften dialog all the way to the left. You'll want to display hidden geometry while you do this so you can see what you're doing.
