After re-learning some trigonometry (if it was ever more than half-learnt) I can make circular memes with text now. I don't have a text-to-arc procedure yet but I can align text along tangents which I'll need for another meme-idea. All this should be getting me closer to Florence Nightingale's #RoseDiagram.
