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.
