    Prerequisite

    • Introduction to Diagrams

     

    Introduction

    It is very easy to add text to your diagram. You can click the T button on the toolbar on the left, then click anywhere on the board to add a text object, then start typing the text. If the text is too small or too big, you can drag its corner points to resize it.

    Changing Font Style and Size

    After you have added a text object, you can select it again, and a toolbar will appear above the text object. Then you can change the font style and size easily:

    Text Alignment

    When you have multiple text objects, you can align them in 2 steps. First, make sure their boundary boxes are aligned to the left, center or the right. Second, make sure the text within each box is aligned the same way (left/middle/right).

    Lists of Text

    When you have multiple rows of text within a single text object, you can convert them into a list as well. You can choose to use bullet points or numbers.

    If you need multiple levels of bullet points, you can add or remove the indents for any selected rows.

    Text Color and Background Color

    There are 3 colors you can set for the text objects.

    • First, you can set the color of the text itself.
    • Second, you can set the background color of the entire text box
    • Third, you can select some letters in the text, and set a highlight background only for those letters.
