Text annotation can be added
to the four corners of the Display Area using the Corner Annotation area
that can be found on the Annotation tab of the 3D View Properties property
sheet. This property sheet is displayed when 3D View Properties is selected
from the View menu on the main Menu Bar. This area of the interface will
appear similar to the example shown on the right. Using these controls
you can enter text for each of the four corners, control properties of
the text such as color and font, and toggle the visibility of the annotation.
Each of the parameters is described in more detail below.
Display
corner annotation: When checked the corner annotation is visible.
Upper
left, Lower left, Upper right, Lower right: These four text entry
boxes can be used to add multi-line text to the specified corner. The
text entered will automatically scale to fit the available space. The
longer the string and the more lines of text you specify, the smaller
the text size.
Max line
height: Set the maximum height of a line of text. This value is
a percentage of the total amount of vertical space allocated to this corner
text. The height may actually be smaller than this value if this is necessary
to fit all of the text.
Properties:The
first button can be used to specify the color of the text. The second
button is used to determine the font family. The next three control whether
or not the text is bold, italics, or has a shadow. When the button appears
depressed the option is enabled, when the button is raised the option
is disabled. In the above example image, the bold option is disabled and
the italics and shadow options are enabled. The final control is for the
opacity of the text and can range from 0.0 to 1.0.
