Text Annotations

Text Boxes

Text Boxes are easy to place on an image. Type or paste text into the entry window and make any desired modifications using the provided text tools.

  • Fonts and Backgrounds - All fonts available on the user's computer can be selected. The full Windows color palette is available for type and background color, and various typeface and justification options can be used.
  • Text Box Shape, Rotation - Two shapes are available for text boxes, the default rectangle or a circle. Text boxes can be outlined if desired. They can be rotated to any angle needed for an illustration.
  • Connecting Line - A connecting line allows text boxes to be set at a distance from the information being highlighted. Standard line attributes and color options are available.

Markup files can be saved as a part of the annotated image. LexView provides the option to save markup files separate from log images that remain editable and can be re-set.
