Hello all, looking for some help drawing text along an arc drawn in Canvas.  Code in replies.

Drawing and arc on a canvas

```Canvas(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
   drawArc(
      Color.Green,
      30f,
      90f,
      topLeft = Offset(0f, 0f),
      useCenter = true,
      size = Size(sizeInPx, sizeInPx)
   )
}```
I would like to draw text along the inside of that arc.  Looks like I can use drawIntoCanvas and get ahold of the native canvas:

```Canvas(modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
   drawIntoCanvas {
      it.nativeCanvas.drawText(
         sector.text,
         0f,
         0f,
         Paint().apply {
            setColor(android.graphics.Color.BLACK)
            textSize = textSizeInPx
         }
      )
   }
}```
However that is not drawing along the arc path.  From some searching looks like maybe there used to be a compose drawText method, but I don’t see that anymore.

Looks like I might be able to use nativeCanvas.drawTextOnPath(), which requires another calculation of the arc.  Am I going down the correct path?

pretty sure there is a `drawText` method. We just used one inside a `Canvas()`

we used it inside of a `drawContext.canvas.nativeCanvas.apply { }`

Right so there is a drawText on nativeCanvas, but not on the compose Canvas?

`drawText` in compose canvas has been added to compose in 1.3.0-alpha02 you can give it a try
