Variable Height Controls

Reform Text Variable Height Controls

1. Height control

Set the height of a marker by entering a value.

2. Show markers checkbox

When unchecked, the tool is in basic mode. When checked, it is in variable height mode.

3. Sharp marker button

Toggles the selected markers between smooth and sharp (see above for explanation of different types). It also controls the type of any newly-created markers.

4. Delete marker button

Removes all selected markers.

5. Mirror offset button

Changes the direction of the offset of all selected markers. This is the same as changing the sign of the offset value.

6. Swap marker direction button

Changes the position of all markers (selected or not) along the reshape extent. If, for example, a marker is located 1/5 of the way from the start to the end delimiter, swapping the direction will change it to be 1/5 of the way from the end to the start delimiter. Offset values are not changed.

7. Reverse flow direction button

Reverses the direction of the text. Used in conjunction with the Mirror offset button it turns text upside down instead of reflecting it.
