This chapter tells you about text.
Tip: To simplify screen editing and maximize runtime performance,
convert all text and drawing objects into wallpaper. See Chapter 9,
Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual, for detailed information.
Text is used for describing screens, objects, functions, and so on.
You can add text to the screen background, or add it to an object as
an object label.
A text label is part of an object. For example, you can add text labels
to a List Indicator or to a button to provide information to the
operator. If you configure an object to change appearances for
different states, you can also have different text labels appear for
each state.
You can format the foreground color, background color, font style,
and blink and underline attributes of the text.
Note: If you use the Extra Large Font for your text, the application
will be compatible only with PanelView Firmware Version 2 or later.
The application will not be compatible with earlier versions.
Note: If you use the Tiny Font or the Very Tiny Font, the
application will be compatible only with PanelView Version 5 or
later. The application will not be compatible with earlier versions.
For step-by-step instructions about creating and editing text and text
labels, see Chapter 9, Creating Objects, in the PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.

Software for Windows User Manual or refer to the online help.
