option allows you to add static and/or dynamic text to stereonet
or rosette plots.
To add text:
Select Text from the toolbar or the Tools
menu.
In a stereonet or rosette plot view, click the left mouse button at the point where you would like to insert the text.
A dialog will appear allowing you to enter static or dynamic text.
To enter static text, type any text you wish in the Text area. Use the Enter key to add multiple lines. This text will appear exactly as typed.
To enter dynamic text, select from the list of Auto Text options (i.e. Project Summary or Other information). This will insert text placeholders (e.g. $ProjectTitle) corresponding to the Project Summary information (in the Project Settings dialog) or Other information (e.g. date, time etc) and will be automatically updated if the source information is changed. Auto Text is useful when you are processing multiple files for a single project. You can set up the information format in one text box, and then copy this to multiple files. The Auto Text will dynamically display the actual information for each file.
You can also configure various text display options (e.g. colour, border) using the Options at the bottom of the dialog.
When you are finished select OK and the text will be added at the selected location. If you used the Auto Text options, the text placeholders will be replaced by the actual information when you add the text to the plot.
After Text has been added, it can be moved, edited, formatted etc. See the Edit Tools Overview topic for details.
Edit Text
To edit text after it has been added, you can double-click on the text box, or right-click on the text box and select Edit Text from the popup menu. This will display the Add Text dialog.
