Description
This module creates a "label" style text string in GEOM format which
can be used as a title. There are two advantages to using this module
over the labelling facilities in the Geom Viewer: (1) the information
will get saved with a network and (2) the optional floating point
Parameter
"Value") can come from another module and can represent some
important variable such as time, animation step, some parameter, etc.
The Title String can contain a '%f' ala C programs to include this
parameter: for example, the Title String can be "Time Step %f" and the
value of "Value" will get transferred to the geom label.
Other
things you can control are the font number, drop shadows,
justification, position, height, and color of the text string.
Inputs
- NONE
Outputs
- geom (the text string as a geom "label")
