Text Tool

Use the Text tool to perform a variety of operations on labels and on other objects that display text.

Text plays an important role in Sketchpad. Labels allow you to communicate with others about specific objects in your sketch, and provide a correspondence between measurements and the objects they measure. Captions allow you to identify and describe both your sketch as a whole and individual parts of your sketch. Measurements, calculations, parameters and functions display important mathematical information in text form. The Text tool allows you to show, hide, edit and reposition labels of objects, to edit captions, and to modify the text displayed with measurements, calculations, parameters, and functions.
