ROES working with text (4 ways?)

[rdyar]

It looks like there are 4 ways to set up roes to work with text:

1. Set text size, font and color on text node
   • in the client there is just a text box to enter the text
2. Set Styled text attribute
   • the Styled Text attribute unlocks the font picker, font style, justification, font size and the color picker
3. Set pager editable attribute
   • with the pager editable you get the font picker, font color, opacity and shadow but shadow doesn't appear to work.
   • with just pager editable the font size auto sizes to the box and amount of text, and it respects the newlines attribute as well as the size attribute.
4. Set both pager editable and styled text
   • with both pager editable and styled text you get everything - font picker, font style, justification, font size, font color, shadow and opacity. Again the shadow doesn't seem to work.

With the styled text you can also select part of the text and change just that part - different font, color or size etc.

One problem with styled text is that it ignores new lines, and also does not auto shrink the size of the text if you enter more text - so it is almost as if you have to make one text box per line. I find this annoying. If you don't use styled text, then you can have one big box and it can be multi line depending on how much text is entered.

If you don't use the styled text then you don't get the justification options, but you can create your own overrides option to do it.

I think the styled text is cool, but since you can't easily do a multi line textbox it isn't very useful. With just pager editable it seems better - you get the custom fonts and color, just can't interdependently adjust blocks of text.
