Basic Elements - Text

Create customizable text fields in your Custom Graphics

When you add the text element, it will populate a text box in your graphic builder that you will be able to move freely around the Custom Graphic as well as make a new menu appear on the right sidebar where you can adjust color, font style, font size, animations, and more.

Text and Text Box Resizing

When creating a text box in a Custom Graphic, you will see the following options.

  • Autosize Text Box: The width and height of the text box would grow to fit the text within.

  • Fixed Size Text Box: The width and the height of the text box that is defined is fixed and would only change if done so manually in the canvas.

Under Text Layout, you will see the following options. 

  • No-Wrap: You can set so the text does not wrap when it overflows.

  • Wrap Text: You can set so the text does wrap when it overflows.

  • Autosize Text: The text increases or decreases in size to fit the text box.

  • Max Text Size: This option is only available when the Autosize Text is selected. If you define a max text size, the text size will not exceed the specified size and only get smaller.

    • If a max text size is defined, then the text will behave the same as the current ‘shrink to fit’ as more text is added.

You can also define how you would want the text box to behave, or the text, or a combination of both.

For example, if you want a fixed text box where the text wraps when it overflows, then you would select the options Fixed Text Box and Wrap.

Or, if you want a fixed text box where the text scales to size, then you would select the options Fixed Text Box and Scale.

Style

  • Opacity: On a scale of 0-100% set the transparency of your text layer. 0% will be completely transparent, 100% will be completely solid.

  • Font: Start by selecting which font you want to use from the dropdown menu. At the bottom of the menu, you'll see a "Manage Fonts" button where you can add custom fonts. Any fonts you add will then appear in the dropdown menu. You can adjust the size, kerning (space between letters), and color of your font.

  • Text Styles: Options to make your font bold or italicized.

  • Text Options: Options to underline or strikethrough your text, or stylize your text with uppercase or lowercase only.

  • Text Alignment: Align your text left, center, or right justified, and set the vertical position of text to top, center, or bottom.

  • Text Shadow

    • X: Adjust the shadow on the horizontal axis, left and right

    • Y: Adjust the shadow on the vertical axis, up and down

    • Blur: Adjust how harsh or feathered you want your shadow to be

    • Color: Set the color of your text shadow

  • Background Color: By default your text background is transparent, but you can select this box to give your text a solid or gradient background. If gradient option is selected you can set the degree you want the gradient change to happen (180 is top to bottom, 90 is left to right).
