Text
The Text Object is a very versatile feature of Incari Studio.
Value
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 😉.
Without CSS
<br>
<span style="
font-style: italic;font-weight:bold;
background:linear-gradient(#FEE140 0%, #FA709A 100%);
-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">
With CSS
</span>

Size and Resolution
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.
Font Family
Font Family
allows one to select a generic font family (Manrope
or Source Code Pro
) or a custom font that has been added in Project Settings.
Text Objects are capable of handling variable fonts and let the user configure certain aspects, called Parameters
. The gif below demonstrates what a font looks like with no Parameters
in its Attributes and what it looks like when the user switches to a font that does.

Alignment
Alignment works like any other word processor. You can align your text to be left-aligned, centre-aligned or right-aligned, using the left
, center
and right
options respectively.

Font Size
Font Size
defines the approximate height, in pixels, from the lowest descent to the highest ascent of a font.

Font Color / Background Color
Colors can be set in various ways in Incari and work very much like they do in other software. You can manually adjust the HSB / RGBA values or input a Hex Code, using their corresponding Color Attribute.
Sprite
Additionally, Text also shares Common Attributes of the Sprite category; which are:
Alpha
Flip U
andFlip V
Sort Index
There are also several Nodes attributed to Text Objects. More information can be found here, here and here.
Translation
It is also possible to switch to Translation
by clicking the right-most icon of the Text
Attribute.

This lets the user access the .local
file provided in the Project Settings. 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 Localization Nodes.
