Align
: Sets the text align point as Left, Right or Center. If right is selected all additional
characters will be added to the right of the first character. If Left is selected the last
character in a text field will be held to the align point all other characters will be pushed
to the left.
Max text width
: Function that maintains the text field width (within limits) to the pixel
count entered in the entry field. Placing a "0" pixels in this field will default to no effect
upon the text width.
Adj.Aspect
: Works in conjunction with the Max text width function when checked.
Adj.Height
: Works in conjunction with the Max text width function when checked.
The Max text width function operates as follows. When the text width exceeds the pixel count
entered into the Max text width entry field, narrowing functions will be activated. The function
follows these rules (assuming that both the Adj.Aspect and Adj.Height boxes are checked) in
the order shown in trying to reduce the width.
1.
Kerning is first reduced by 30%.
2.
The width of the character is then reduced by 30%.
3.
The size of the character is then reduced by 30%.
After all three rules have been used the text will no longer be affected and all other text
exceeding the Max text width will be displayed at the size as determined by the rules.
Ext Update
: Enables the field text to be updated from an external data feed such as a
time server.
Port number
: The port number of the server where the information is to be derived.
Shared Port along with Tab Name
allows one data feed to update multiple Fields at
the same time.
Effect
: Determines how the updates such as a timer changes are to be updated on
the screen. The selections are Cut, Dissolve and Push Up.
Duration
: Sets the duration of the transition (in frames) when using a Dissolve or
Push Up effect.
