Simple text
If you wish to type a small amount of simple text, position the pointer where you want to enter text and
click. A red cursor appears where you clicked and you can now start typing on the keyboard.
If you make a mistake, use "Delete" and "Backspace" in the usual way.
Pressing "Enter" completes the line and starts a new line of text below it. The inter-line spacing is
controlled by the line spacing text box on the InfoBar.
By default text has no outline color. Shift + clicking on a color on the Color Line will give the selected
text an outline color - the thickness of which can be controlled by the line width control, as usual. You
will probably want to set the Line join type to be rounded to give it a more smooth appearance (control
at the top of the Line Gallery).
Line width is described in Drawing lines. Applying color is described in Color handling
.
You can continue to enter text even after rotation, color filling, placing it on a curve or even applying
many types of live effects.
