Help with custom

# 8 years ago
Rojomateus Member	I want to use a word as my shape - for example the word "Family" - which I then want the word to be printed/filled with the names of the family members. I understand how to upload a custom shape - but when I have done this family is "thin" - can you recommend how "wide" i need to have the letters of my word in order to make good use of fitting the names in?

Rojomateus Member	For example - someone in the gallery has the word "NIKE" and the swoosh - so how wide would this "nike" be? There is also the word PARIS in the gallery TIA. Edited 02 Sep, 2016 08:39

Alex Key Master	Could you please save the cloud with the "Family" shape that is thin and advise its name so I could have a look?

Rojomateus Member	Hi Alex - family was just an example - I have one saved called CES IV and I am trying to put the names of attendees at this event into the details of the event. But I am unsure how to construct the "shape" so this will work. Thanks for your help

Alex Key Master	But I am unsure how to construct the "shape" so this will work Open any image editor and write your word / phrase in black on the white background. Please make sure you use a bold font. Then save it as PNG or JPEG image and upload to your word cloud's shapes list by clicking on the first tile in the "All" category in the "Shapes" section.

Rojomateus Member	Hi Alex - Just to clarify - what is wrong then with what I had already uploaded? Also if I have lots of words is there a way to change the size of all of them together rather than row by row? (I am presuming 1 is the smallest and if I want the size in the image bigger I would increase this? Thanks

Rojomateus Member	Also is there anyone who could do this for me if I offered to pay? lol - I love the handprints in the circle design but for example is it also possible to easily change this to 7 handprints? - I am really just starting out at this and not familiar with image editors etc. Thanks SOOOOO much for anything you can tell me! Love this site and will be spending time getting to know it and how to work with it! So glad I found it!

Alex Key Master	what is wrong then with what I had already uploaded? 1) When you imported the image you need to move the edges slider to the most left position (zero value) as you don't want Tagul to draw color edges 2) The font is not bold enough 3) Too much vertical space between phrases 4) The image is slightly cut off near the borders Also if I have lots of words is there a way to change the size of all of them together rather than row by row? (I am presuming 1 is the smallest and if I want the size in the image bigger I would increase this? I suggest you not to change the size column if you don't much worry about the relative sizes of the words. Basically if you leave it equal to 1 (that is by default) then the words will be placed to your word cloud in the order they are inputted in the Words section. The first word will be the biggest one and then the size will be decreasing with each word.
