Tab Spacing
The controls in the Tabs section are used to configure the horizontal screen positions of eight
separate tab stops. Any tab characters in the text will conform to these positions.
You can add tabs directly in the Styled Text input as you type. You can also add tabs by copying
from another document, such as Text on macOS or Notepad on Windows, and paste it into
the text box.
Position
This control is used to set the horizontal position of the tab in the frame. The values range from
-0.5 to 0.5, where 0 is the center. The position of the tab will be indicated in the viewer by a thin
vertical white line when the Text node is selected. At the top of each tab line in the viewer is a
handle. The handle can be used to position the tab manually.
Alignment
Each tab can be set either left aligned, right aligned, or centered. This slider ranges from -1.0 to
1.0, where -1.0 is a left-aligned tab, 0.0 is a centered tab and 1.0 is a right-aligned tab. Clicking
the tab handles in the viewer will toggle the alignment of the tab among the three states.
Layout Tab
The controls used to position the text are located in the Layout Tab. One of four layout types
can be selected using the Type drop-down menu.
