Create text

You can use text to label visual items in your application.

When you create text, the text formatting settings match those set in the WindowMaker configuration screen. You can change the appearance of selected text. For more information, see Change text appearance.

When you type multiple lines of text, they become objects which can be moved and edited independently. You can also combine text objects into a symbol and edit them as a group.

Create text

1. On the Draw menu, in the Insert group, select Text.
