In which case, set WrapToShape, and drag the handle to fit the space that is required. You can group the objects for convenienceĪgain, the size does not matter, except when you need to set the width (horizontal) to fit the target object, or some other space that is relevant to the drawing. This is also good for (pretty obvious) when you need text blocks that contain different Fonts and FontSizes that are easy to manipulate and change (rather than having different Fonts and FontSizes in a single text block) for weird shapes) is inadequate or hard to use, and you just want a nice clean rectangle of text in it This overcomes the problem wherein the text area that OG sets for the target object (eg. Grab one such generic TextRectangle object, and stick on top of whatever object you need to have text in. Place it on the Stencils that you commonly use. I have not detailed it here, but you can set up your Magnets on such TextRectangles in the same way, to obtain consistent and great-looking (across the entire diagram) Line spacing.
I have one object for Times 9pt, and a second for Helvetica 10pt, because that is my frequent usage. I use AlignLeft AlignTop SideMargin = 3 TopMargin = 2. Never use BackgroundColour (it produces a shadow effect that is hard to debug).
#Omnigraffle subscript full#
Use the Apple Font Tool (Command-T), which has full capability (Underline StrikeThrough etc). Set all the Properties for Text: Font Colour Size etc. This will make the object (and therefore the problem) visible when you inadvertently turn its Stroke On when turning the Stroke On for a a group of objects or a grouped object. This will allow you to Select the object and move it around easily. Set the Fill to Solid Colour to White Opacity to 0%.
#Omnigraffle subscript pro#
The instructions are for OG Pro V5.4 (V6.X and V7.x are different, and keep changing). It is stated in generic (top-down) terms, so that it covers all needs, the specifics for subscript and superscript text are at the end. I have set up all the properties for text, once.This is probably the most important object in all my diagrams.Instead, I use a RectangleObject for text. The second thing is the TextObject in OG is broken (difficult to work with finicky changes with the weather changes more with the version): text in the TextObject behaves differently (worse) than text in (eg.) a RectangleObject. I expect to setĪnd therefore obtain line Spacing that is exactly n pts, regardless of Subscript/Superscript, but OG does not do that. The short answer is, yes, the text handling provided in OG (as opposed to that which can be expected in a word-processing toolzz) is less than consistent. I use subscript and superscript text quite frequently, and I need text handling to be easy and uneventful … that means predictable. Nevertheless, the text handling in OG is quite good, more than adequate for good drawings. So do not expect word processing precision and ease from it. The first thing to understand, and therefore to constrain your work, is that OG is a drawing tool, not a word processing tool. The purpose of this post is allow readers to get the best text handling (consistent predictable) that is available in OG, and to overcome some of the limits of OG text handling. you need to approach the task (any particular application of a text handling issue) in a consistent way, that is, the understanding and the approach are important.the whole issue of text handling is not dead simple.Is there a way to select text and force line spacing to remain uniform across lines of a paragraph or block of text?īut you can obtain text blocks in OG that contain sub and superscript that look decent.
