Text
|
• Font -
Click this button to change the text font type or size.
• Color -
Click this button to change the text color.
• Charmap -
Clicking this button will bring up the Windows Character Map Viewer.
You can use this to pick special characters by copying them to the
clipboard and pasting them in the text box.
• Width -
Use this box to specify a scaling width for the text. This will scale
the font size with the image size. Set to 0 for no font scaling.
• Shadow -
Set a number in this box to display a text shadow under the text. If
this number is positive the shadow will appear down and to the right. If
this numbe is negative, the shadow will appear up and to the left. The
number represents the shadow offset in pixels. I.e. a value of 2 will
offset the shadow two pixels right, and two pixels down.
• Rotation -
Use this box to specify a rotation value for the text. This is also
known as Escapement. The value is in 10ths of a degree and the text
is rotated counter-clockwise. Therefore, a value of 450 will rotate
the text 45 degrees counter-clockwise. A value of 3600 results in no
rotation.
• Auto Size Selection Box -
If this box is checked, when text is typed the box will be automatically
enlarged to accommodate the text. It will also move the box slightly to
the left to keep the text centered. If this is not desired, uncheck this
box.
• Text -
This box displays the text to be shown by the element. This box can be
used for copy/paste operations. You do not need to type text into this
box. You can simply select a text element from the editor and start typing.
|
Text Flags
|
• Horizontal Align -
Specifies the horizontal alignment of the selected text element. Possibilities
are, left, center, and right.
• Vertical Align -
Specifies the vertical alignment of the selected text element. Possibilities are
top, center, and bottom. This option is only available when Single Line is
checked, and Multiline Center is not.
• Single Line -
This specifies that the text will only be one line. Line feed characters will be
ignored.
• Word Break -
Specify this option to indicate that if there is not enough horizontal room
for the text, it will be clipped or broken on word boundrys, depending on the
single or multi-line status.
• No clipping -
Check this option to disable clipping to the rectangle overlay element boundry.
• Expand Tabs -
Checking this option expands tabs to multiple spaces, otherwise, tabs are only
given one space.
• Multiline Center -
Checking this option enables a special multiline centering algorithm.
• Escapement Center -
This will cause rotated text to pivot on the center instead of the upper
left corner.
• Right To Left Reading -
This changes the reading order of the text to right to left.
• External Leading -
Includes the font external leading in line height. Normally,
external leading is not included in the height of a line of text.
• String Ellipsis -
Truncates any word that does not fit in the rectangle and adds ellipses.
• Path Ellipsis -
For displayed text, replaces characters in the middle of the string with
ellipses so that the result fits in the specified rectangle. If the string
contains backslash (\) characters, as much as possible of the text after
the last backslash is preserved.
• Like Edit Control -
The average character width is calculated in the same manner as for an
edit control, and a partially visible last line is not displayed.
• No Prefix Processing -
Turns off processing of prefix characters. Normally, the '&' character is
interpreted to mean 'under line the next character'. To display an actual
'&' character, use two &&. Only one character can be underlined.
Example:
When Enabled
a&bc = abc will display.
a&b&c = abc will display, only 'b' character will be underlined.
a&&bc = a&bc will be displayed.
When Disabled text will appear exactly as typed.
