Text Annotations
Text annotations can be edited on screen by double clicking and typing. Text
annotations accept dragged colors in order to change the color of selected
text. If text is not selected within the annotation, the dragged color will set
the background color of the text. To change the font of Text, select it and set
the font using the font panel. Other Text annotation attributes are controlled
using the Text Annotation Inspector.
