Hi, the properties text and angle are usually properties of controls (here: the widget). They are not set and still available for extended versions of the widget. So such a naming could be misleading.
= svgText is not a property of the widget itself but a property of the display path of the widget (the input text). In LCB terms: Usual text could still be drawn on the canvas, only the input for the textPath is set.
= pathRotate is not a widget property but a property of the path. In LCB terms: Not the canvas is rotated but the textPath only.
I used the naming pathRotate, although pathAngle is now a synonym for that, to indicate that this is independent (applied additively) of pathAngleX and pathAngleY.
