GText¶
Functionality¶
Creates Text in NodeView using GreasePencil strokes. It has full basic English and Cyrillic Character map and several extended character types:
[ ] \ / ( ) ~ ! ? @ # $ % & ^ > < | 1234567890 - + * = _
Inputs¶
Gtext will display whatever text is currently in the system buffer / clipboard.
UI & Parameters¶

Moving GText
To move GText strokes around in NodeView you must move the GText Node then press Set again. This may not be entirely intuitive but it hasn’t bugged us enough to do anything about it.
