Text Tool
Overview
The Text tool places rendered text as a new
selection. Prior to clicking on the image, the standard
GTK font chooser will be displayed. The font
that will be used for rendering can be selected from this dialog.
Text Tool Options
Text Settings
- Antialiasing
Antialiasing will render the text with much smoother edges and curves. This is achieved by slight blurring and merging of the edges. This option can radically improve the visual appearance of the rendered typeface. Caution should be exercised when using antialiasing on images that are not in RGB color space.
- Border
The Border option allows a transparent border to be placed around the rendered text. Normally text is rendered with no space between the text and the layer or selection edge. This option changes that. The number selected here represents the number of pixels to surround the image with.
- Use Dynamic Text
This option will display the Dynamic Text Dialog in stead of the standard GTK font selection dialog.
