# Text Input

The **Text Input** **Object** allows the user to add singleline text with a background to their **Project**. It can be completely customized in the [**Attributes**](#attributes).

![Text Input.](/files/mLekeETnyCSGUpmUEfDB)

## Attributes

The **Object's** **Attributes** can be used to fully customize the **Object**. Explained below, they are:

* [**Transformation**](#transformation)
* [**Text**](#text)
* [**Text Input**](#text-input)
* [**Code**](#code)
* [**Tag**](#tag)

### Transformation

![Transformation Attributes.](/files/GCbjGvFlHOeg2wO8rbxq)

The `Transformation` **Attributes** deal with placement, rotation, and size in *XY* space. More information can be found [here](/incari-studio/2023.1/objects-and-types/attributes/common-attributes/transformation.md).

### Text

![Text Attributes.](/files/GLR7IeenZ4nQKtyd5Ubl)

The **Text Attributes** offer the user options to customize the **Text**:

* `Font family` offers three different font types: `monospace`, `sans-serif`, and `serif`. More fonts can be added by the user in [**Project Settings**](/incari-studio/2023.1/modules/project-settings/fonts.md).
* `Font size (px)` determines the size of the font in pixels.
* `Font color` decides the color of the text.

### Text Input

![Text Input Attributes.](/files/a7wEpctYSScz5ixCxv5K)

The `Text Input` **Attributes** provide crucial data for a **Text Input Object**.

* `Text Area` is simply the desired text.
* `Max Length` is the maximum number of characters of the text. When this number is reduced, the characters that fall after that index are deleted. Increasing the number will not bring back these characters once removed.
* The `Background Color` is the color of the **Text Input** box which appears behind the text.

### Code

![Code Attributes.](/files/mTGkstlUkeLvJQw7Petc)

The `Code` **Attributes** allow for more customizability. This can override any stylesheet provided in the [**Project Settings**](/incari-studio/2023.1/modules/project-settings/style.md) or a [**Scene2D**](/incari-studio/2023.1/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene2d.md).

To address these in the **Logic**, please refer to the [**Object 2D Nodes**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/incari/object2d.md).

* `Class names` contain the *CSS* class names of the **Object**.
* `Stylesheet` contains the *CSS* stylesheet of the **Object**.

### Tag

![Tag Attributes.](/files/TPt8ylPfENI8h1ezukwe)

This **Attribute** manages the *tags* for the **Text Input**. See more on *tags* [here.](/incari-studio/2023.1/objects-and-types/attributes/common-attributes/tag.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.1/objects-and-types/scene2d-objects/gui/textinput.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
