Text/Draw text and graphics objects are used for illustrating or labeling
screens. They are not associated with PLC or terminal functions, so there
are no data types or I/O addresses associated with them.

There are four Text/Draw objects.

Text

Text/Draw text is used for labels or titles which are independent of other
objects on the screen.

Do not confuse background text with object text. Object text, such as a
button’s label or the text in a list selector, is part of the object—if you
move the object, the text moves with it. Object text is added when you are
editing the object, whereas background text is an object on its own.

Line

Vertical and Horizontal Lines

Lines can be used for emphasis, to divide the screen, connect symbols, or
to represent physical devices like pipes or conveyors. You can draw
straight lines, polylines, boxes or polygons.
