Curved & Polygon Text (For Layouts)
Adds advanced Curved Spline Text and Polygon Text Box items to the QGIS Layout Designer, complete with HTML rendering, drop shadows, and full formatting control.
Bridges a feature gap in the QGIS Print Layout engine by introducing two
new layout item types:
* Curved Spline Text -- flows rich/HTML text along an editable, draggable
curve (polyline) instead of a straight baseline.
* Polygon Shaped Text Box -- wraps rich/HTML text to fit exactly inside an
editable, draggable closed polygon outline instead of a rectangle.
Both items support "Allow HTML Formatting" rich text (bold, italic,
colour spans, etc.) and automatic evaluation of QGIS expressions written
as [% ... %], exactly like the native Add Label item.
Requires QGIS 3.44 or later. The same codebase supports QGIS 3.44 LTR
(PyQt5/Qt5) and QGIS 4.x (PyQt6/Qt6).
