Table Of Contents
Size
This control is used to increase or decrease the size of the text. This is not like selecting a point
size in a word processor. The size is relative to the width of the image.
Tracking
The Tracking parameter adjusts the uniform spacing between each character of text.
Line Spacing
Line Spacing adjusts the distance between each line of text. This is sometimes called leading in
word-processing applications.
V Anchor
The Vertical Anchor controls consist of three buttons and a slider. The three buttons are used to
align the text vertically to the top, middle, or bottom baseline of the text. The slider can be used
to customize the alignment. Setting the Vertical Anchor affects how the text is rotated but also
the location for line spacing adjustments. This control is most often used when the Layout type
is set to Frame in the Layout tab.
V Justify
The Vertical Justify slider allows you to customize the vertical alignment of the text from the V
Anchor setting to full justification so it is aligned evenly along the top and bottom edges. This
control is most often used when the Layout type is set to Frame in the Layout tab.
H Anchor
The Horizontal Anchor controls consist of three buttons and a slider. The three buttons justify
the text alignment to the left edge, middle, or right edge of the text. The slider can be used to
customize the justification. Setting the Horizontal Anchor affects how the text is rotated but also
the location for tracking (leading) spacing adjustments. This control is most often used when the
Layout type is set to Frame in the Layout tab.
H Justify
The Horizontal Justify slider allows you to customize the justification of the text from the H
Anchor setting to full justification so it is aligned evenly along the left and right edges. This
control is most often used when the Layout type is set to Frame in the Layout tab.
Direction
This menu provides options for determining the direction in which the text is to be written.
Line Direction
These menu options are used to determine the text flow from top to bottom, bottom to top, left
to right, or right to left.
Write On
This range control is used to quickly apply simple Write On and Write Off animation to the text.
To create a Write On effect, animate the End portion of the control from 1 to 0 over the length of
time required. To create a Write Off effect, animate the Start portion of the range control
from 0 to 1.
