How can I create a drawing like this:
The stuff in red are only explications (with "middle" I meant middle of the drawing representing the spiral) and should not be drawn. Tikz would be best, since I know a tiny little amount of it (which is more than other programs - of which I know nothing) and want to replace the spirals with some of my own decorations.
The text may seem large here, but actually I plan to use the standard font.
Here is a minimal working example (stripped with the LaTeX preambel, since I use LyX):
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[align=center]{text text text text \\ text text text text};
% To do: Place a picture here, whose middle is at equal distance between the top line of text and the bottom line and that has a "good-looking" distance from the text
% To do: Place the same picture with same distance requirements here; would be nice if it were mirrored, so I don't have to mirror it externally in a different program.
\end{tikzpicture}
EDIT (since this was too big for a comment): Ok, modifying answer gives like this
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newlength\decorwidth
\setlength\decorwidth{1cm}
\newcommand\TextDecor[2]{%
\par\smallskip\noindent%
\parbox[c]{\decorwidth}{\includegraphics[width=.5\decorwidth]{#1}\hfill}%
\parbox[c]{\dimexpr\textwidth-2\decorwidth\relax}{#2}%
\parbox[c]{\decorwidth}{\hfill\includegraphics[width=.5\decorwidth]{#1}}\par\smallskip%
}
\begin{document}
\TextDecor{ornament1}{ \begin{center}text text text text\\ text text text text\end{center}}
\end{document}
it now looks like this. In red is explained on thing I didn't manage to do:
\node[align=center]{text text text text \\ text text text text};
. The problem is the placement of the spirals left and right of the text. BTW,I just used spirals as a placeholder for some other decorations I have as png's that I plan to use.\documentclass
to\end{document}
. and you can put comments in ittext here rotated 90 deg
etc.
