Text Tool

Library: Base

Introduced: 2.0 Beta 1

Behavior

The text tool allows you to create and edit labels associated with components. Which components support labels are indicated in the 'Text Tool Behavior' section of their documentation. As of the current release, three components in the built-in libraries support labels.

Base library

Pin
Clock
Label

Clicking on one of these components using the text tool indicates that you wish to edit the label associated with that component, even if you click the component nowhere near where the label will actually appear. Clicks at other locations indicate that you wish to create a new label component.

In the current version of Logisim, text editing features are still fairly primitive. Selections of a region of text within a label is impossible. There is no way to insert a line break into a label.

Attributes

The attributes for the tool are the same as for the label component. These attributes have no effect when editing the label on an existing component, but they are imparted to any labels created using the text tool.

Clicking on a component supporting the Text Tool will display that component's attributes.
