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") PARAMETERS Value (dial) a floating point number which can appear in the label as long as the Title String contains a %f. If you make this visible, you can attach it to another module. Title String the character string you want to appear as a label. If it contains a %f, the value of the "Value" parameter gets included. Font Number (islider) a value from 0 to 21 for the available fonts. The actual font types vary from system to system. Drop Shadow (toggle) when on, produces a black drop shadow when off, does not Text Alignment (radio_buttons) choice of Left, Center (default), and Right. Describes the start of the text relative to its position. X Position, Y Posiiton (slides) the position of the text on the screen. (0.0, 0.0) is the center of the window. Text Height (slider) - a value from 0.0 to 1.0 letting you choose which height font you want. Red, Green, Blue (sliders) - the color of the label EXAMPLE NETWORKS: Title Read Geom |______ _______| | | Geom Viewer
