Text Tool Window

The text tool window is shown in figure 1. It contains a text-area at the top where the text can be written. Below that is a pop-up-menu for selecting the font type. Then there are sliders for adjusting the size, rotation and shear of the text. Finally at the bottom is a checkbox for enabling or disabling anti-aliasing for the text.

The color of the text can be set with the color-window. Whenever the text tool window is open, all color adjusting done in the color-window will be reflected in the text-color. If only part of the text needs to be colored, it can be selected in the text-area.

The text can be moved around by clicking on the image and moving the mouse around. The rotation can also be adjusted by clicking on the image with the secondary mouse-button and moving the mouse.
