Hi everyone,
I need to place labels in a image. Is there a way to combine the arrow and textbox. I want to click at two point, the first point is the arrow tip, the second is the textbox and I can type after the second click. The line should be connected to the middle of the left side of the textbox. I tried to connect the node of the arrow line and the textbox, but looks like they can't be connected.
How can I do that? With a script?
Thank you!

Yes, you'd need a script to automate that. Sorry, but I can't help with that part.

The node from the arrow should be able to snap to the text anchor, which is near the bottom left of the 1st character (if the text is left-aligned). The text anchor is kind of hard to see, but in the attached screenshot, it's in the pink circle. (Snapping -- http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... pping.html)

If by "text box" you mean that you dragged the Text tool and entered your text in that box, then you created flowed text, which can be troublesome, espeically if the image is destined for the internet (but other reasons too). For regular text, just click once on the canvas, and start typing. Although if you're going to automate the process, I guess you'll create the text with a script as well....and I have no idea about how to do that.



Or you could snap the node from the arrow to the bounding box of the text object. But like with the text, if you're automating the process, snapping is irrelevant. But just to let you know

I'd snap the arrow's end to the midpoint of the flowed text bounding box. Then group the two objects (text, arrow).

That group can be duplicated and moved to the next location. Then, double-click to enter the group and move the arrow point using the node tool, double click on the text to revise the text.

Thank you for those very help answers!
