Creating text

When the text button is pushed or the text menu option is selected the status line will indicate text can be typed. When the user types on the keyboard a single line of text is created in the middle of the icon. Mistakes can only be corrected by using backspace and retyping the character. Like anything else, the text can be moved with the arrow keys as well as being rotated. Only one line at a time can be created. To create multiple lines you must first create a single line, move it to it's desired position and then select the text option again to create the second line. The second line should be similarly moved to it's desired position.

The text's font size can be changed using the options combo-box on the right side of the toolbar. Changing the size while you type in the text will change the size of the text already typed. To change the font style, the font style option icon in the toolbar should be clicked and a font choosing dialig will appear. Not all font styles will be legible as your hardware may not be capable of rendering them. Once again, changing the font style while typing in the text will cause the text to be redrawn in the new style.
