<h3 class="subsection">Text</h4>

<p>Pressing <em>&lt;Key&gt;F5</em> or clicking one of the text selector buttons
changes to <em>text-mode</em>. 
Each successive notify event (<em>&lt;Btn1&gt;</em>)
pops up the input line at the bottom and queries for a string. 
Enter it and press <em>&lt;Key&gt;Return</em> to confirm or
<em>&lt;Key&gt;Escape</em> to abort. 
The text object is created with its upper left corner at the current pointer
location. 
The initial scaling is changed by <em>&lt;Key&gt;t</em> and
<em>Shift&lt;Key&gt;t</em> or from the <em>Sizes</em> menu.

   <p>Now switch to <em>rotate-mode</em> and press
<em>&lt;Btn1&gt;</em> at the text-objects location. Text objects
on the solder side of the layout are automatically mirrored and
flipped so that they are seen correctly when viewing the solder-side.

   <p>Use <em>&lt;Key&gt;n</em> to edit the string.

   <p><b>TEXT OBJECTS ON COPPER LAYERS CREATE COPPER LINES BUT THEY ARE NOT SCANNED FOR
CONNECTIONS</b>. If they are moved to the silkscreen layer, they
no longer create copper.
