Text Dialog

 

The left side of the dialog box contains the font property panels to choose the desired font from the list of available fonts, its size, style (bold or italized or both).  Immediately the preview of the font and its styles and size can be seen on the text in the preview canvas in the bottom right of the dialog.

The Text to be displayed is entered in the textbox provided in the lower right of the dialog. 

The top right side of the dialog contains a list of panels of available text effects. You can choose one of the text effects. Click one of the text effect panels to select it. Immediately the select panel will be surrounded by a red rectangle.  The properties of the selected text effect is displayed in the right side below the list of available text effect panels. Click here for more help on the various text effects. 

The color or the texture of the scrolling text can be selected and this is independent of the text effect chosen. You can also choose a texture to fill the text rather than choosing a color.

The color/texture and Text Effects will not be reflected in the Text entered in the text box . Only the font properties will be reflected in the text.

When user clicks on 'OK', the text is inserted into the image at the point where the mouse was clicked resulting in the Text Dialog being displayed.
