How to insert texts on a Map
It is not necessary to have all features of a text editor for handling texts on
a map. SCARTA has the following options for text edition: different types of
fonts and sizes, thickness, color, rotation and style.
Inserting a Text on a Map:
-
on the Chart Elements Editor window, click on Insert
and select Texts;
-
on the field Text: type
the desired text;
-
double click on the map area until you hear a “bip” sound and
observe that the X and Y values (or Lat: and Long:) are presented on the Chart
Elements Editor
window, at the Position Control option;
-
click on Insert. The text will be
presented on the chosen position with the characteristics defined by the user
on the Chart Elements Characteristics screen.
Retrieving and Updating a
Text:
-
select
a text on the map (observe that it becomes involved in a rectangle);
-
click on Retrieve. Observe
that its content is presented on the text box;
-
change
the text as you wish;
-
click on Update. The old text will be
replaced by the new one.

text characteristics.
IMPORTANT: A text or a symbol can be inserted in the map as an
element for the whole map (drawing area plus paper area) or as an element
restrict to the drawing area, inserted using planes or geographic coordinates
(more details in How to Handle Map Elements).
