HELP
An object that outputs a constant string
Scalar or Array 1D.

USE
Use Text to set a string constant or to
request user input.  To input an array, press

tab to enter the next value.  LOCATION
Data ==> Constant ==> Text

EXAMPLE
To use Text as a prompt on a panel view,
change the name of the Text object to a
prompt such as What is your name?  The user
fills in the requested information in the
entry field.

OBJECT MENU

* Auto Execute - If set, the object operates
whenever the values in the field are edited.

* Config - Sets the initial number of values
to be output with this object.

* Initialize - Used to set this object to a
particular value at PreRun and/or Activate
time.

  * Initial Value - A dialog box that
specifies the value to be set.  Default value
is the zero value of that container type.

  * Initialize At PreRun - Whether to set the
Initial Value at PreRun time.  Default is
off.

  * Initialize At Activate - Whether to set
the Initial Value at Activate time.  Default
is off.

NOTES
Initialize is most often used for
initializing values inside a UserObject.

There is no interpretation of escaped
characters in this constant.  Your entry is

replicated exactly on the output pin.  The
other method for setting an initial value is
the Default Value control pin.  The Default
Value pin allows you to programmatically
change the current value.

Note that the Initial Value field is
always a scalar, even if Text is configured
to be an array.  The Default Value input pin,
however, requires its input container to
exactly match the size and shape of Text.
