Draw Text at Point (Not in Base Package)

Draws a string into a picture. This VI automatically calculates the bounding rectangle of the text and positions the text with respect to a specified point.

[user-specified font] is a cluster containing the specific font characteristics for the text you draw. This specification is ignored unless desired font is set to user-specified font.
Font Name selects the font to use for the string.
Size selects the size of the font in points.
Strikeout? If TRUE, text appears in strikeout.
Italic? If TRUE, text appears in italic.
Underline? If TRUE, text appears underlined.
Outline? If TRUE, text appears in outline.
Shadow? If TRUE, text appears in shadow.
Bold? If TRUE, text appears in bold.
desired font specifies the font for the text you draw.

picture is the image to which you add the text string. It defaults to an empty picture.
origin is the coordinate of the starting point of the text.
x is the horizontal coordinate that increases to the right.
y is the vertical coordinate that increases to the bottom.
alignment specifies the location of the text relative to the specified origin.
horizontal is an enumeration that you use to specify the horizontal position of the text with respect to the origin.

0left—The horizontal component of origin specifies the left edge of the text.
1center—The horizontal component of the origin specifies the center of the text.
2right—The horizontal component of origin specifies the right of the text.
vertical is an enumeration that you use to specify the vertical position of the text with respect to the origin.

0top—The vertical component of origin specifies the top edge of the text.
1center—The vertical component of the origin specifies the center of the text.
2bottom—The vertical component of origin specifies the bottom of the text.
text is the string you want to draw in the picture.
text color is the color of the text. The default is black. You can wire a color box constant to this input.
BG color is the color of the background of the text. The default is transparent.

You can wire a color box constant to this input.

black in B/W specifies whether the text should be black or white if you choose to display it on a black-and-white monitor.
new picture is the modified picture.
text rect contains four numerics that describe the left, top, right, and bottom coordinates of the outer edges of the rectangle.
left is the horizontal coordinate of the left edge of the rectangle.
top is the vertical coordinate of the top edge of the rectangle.
right is the horizontal coordinate of the right edge of the rectangle.
bottom is the vertical coordinate of the bottom edge of the rectangle.
