"Text Transform" Section

This section contains parameters which define the position, size and orientation of the text box of the object.
The values are represented in the coordinate system of the object. It is based on the alignment box of the object: the coordinate origin is in the top left-hand corner, horizontal coordinates increase as you move from left to right, and vertical coordinates increase as you move from top to bottom.

TextWidth

Describes the width of the text box.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

By default, the text box width is the same as the alignment box width.

TextHeight

Describes the height of the text box.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

By default, the text box height is the same as the alignment box height.

TextAngle

The angle of the text box with respect to the alignment box of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the angle in radians, in the Values mode the angle is displayed in degrees. The angle value may range within [-180 deg, 180 deg].

The default value is 0 (the text box isn't rotated).

TextGPinX

Specifies the X offset of the rotation centre of the text box in the coordinate system of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

TextGPinY

Specifies the Y offset of the rotation centre of the text box in the coordinate system of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

TextPinX

Specifies the X offset of the rotation centre of the text box in the coordinate system of the text box.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

The default formula is: TextWidth*0.5.

TextPinY

Specifies the Y offset of the rotation centre of the text box in the coordinate system of the text box.
In the Formulas mode, you see the values in tenths of millimeters, in the Values mode all values are displayed in the current unit of measure.

The default formula is: TextHeight*0.5.

TextFlipX

Indicates whether the text box is flipped horizontally. The value is binary:
FALSE - the text box is not flipped;
TRUE - the text box is flipped horizontally.

TextFlipY

Indicates whether the text box is flipped vertically. The value is binary:
FALSE - the text box is not flipped;
TRUE - the text box is flipped vertically.

Variables from the Text Transform section are specified in the following form in the formulas:

[<shape_name>.]<variable_name>
