The Text Object is a very versatile feature of Incari Studio.
Value defines the text that will appear in the Text Object. This can be any sequence of characters that the font supports, including special characters such as emojis 😉.
Although you may already be familiar with the Size and Resolution Attributes of the Camera Object, things work slightly differently with Text and Web Sprite Objects.
With Camera, Resolution relates to the resolution of a physical piece of hardware ,i.e., a display. With Text and Web Sprite, however, both Size and Resolution relate to something which exists in virtual 3D space. So although, like Camera, the Size Attribute defines the Object's size in 3D space, the Resolution Attribute defines the resolution of the content that will be stretched to fit that space.
Alignment works like any other word processor. You can align your text to be left-aligned, centre-aligned or right-aligned, using the left, centerand rightoptions respectively.
Font Size defines the approximate height, in pixels, from the lowest descent to the highest ascent of a font.
Additionally, Text also shares Common Attributes of the Sprite category; which are:
Alpha
Flip U and Flip V
Sort Index

There are also several Nodes attributed to Text Objects. More information can be found , and
This lets the user access the .local file provided in the . The keys will appear as options in the Translation dropdown. The translation of the current language will be used. This is set in the Project Settings but can be altered with the .
