Text Scroller

This widget will scroll text across the output

Position

  • All text, which can be of different height, is aligned on a "baseline" position.

This base line can be set to:

    The baseline is positioned as close to the top of the output as possible while allowing all text to be visible.
    The position can be pixel-adjusted using the adjacent Adjust Position By setting.

    The baseline is positioned in the middle of the output. This is approximate when scroller has different sized texts.
    The position can be pixel-adjusted using the adjacent Adjust Position By setting.

  • Bottom
    The baseline is positioned as close to the bottom of the output as possible while allowing all text to be visible.
    The position can be pixel-adjusted using the adjacent Adjust Position By setting.
  • Pixel
    The baseline is an actual pixel position.
    The pixel calue is entered in the adjacent Baseline Pixel Position setting.
