Label

This widget can be used to display the value of a connected tool parameter or result. Alternatively, you can also define a specific text to be displayed instead of a tool parameter or result value. For multi-values, use the Table widget.

Style

X, Y:

Adjust the position of the widget by typing the desired coordinate values of the upper left corner into the input field.

Z-Order:

Adjust the z-order of the widget by typing the desired value into the input field. This defines which widget is displayed on top if several widgets are positioned at the same place, for example, if widget "A" has "Z-Order" "0" and widget "B" has "Z-Order" "1", widget "B" will be displayed on top of widget "A".

Width:

Adjust the width of the widget. The width is defined in pixels and set to 180 by default. To change the value, type the new width into the input field. It must be at least 30 and not be bigger than 2147483647.

Height:

Adjust the height of the widget. The height is defined in pixels and set to 40 by default. To change the value, type the new height into the input field. It must be at least 20 and not be bigger than 2147483647.

Text:

Define the text to be displayed in the label by typing the text directly into the text field. If you have entered a text and then connect the widget to a tool parameter at the properties "Connected Tool" and "Connected Parameter", the defined text will be deleted. The label then shows the value of the connected parameter.

Font Size:

Adjust the size of the displayed font. Select the font size from the combo box or type the value directly into the input field.

Font Color:

Adjust the color of the displayed text or value. To change the color, click into the color field and select a new color in the color selection dialog or enter the color code manually.

Font Family:

Select the font family of the displayed text in the drop-down menu of this property.

Horizontal Text Alignment:

Adjust the horizontal alignment of the text or value that is displayed in the label. It is set to "left" by default. You can also select "center" and "right" for the alignment at the drop-down menu.

Vertical Text Alignment:

Adjust the vertical alignment of the text or value that is displayed in the label. It is set to "center" by default. You can also select "top" and "bottom" for the alignment at the drop-down menu.

Number of Decimal Places:

Define the number of decimal places that are displayed in case the label is connected to a tool parameter or result with decimal values. It is set to 4 by default. You can change the number to a value from 0 to 8.

Text Wrapping

Define the wrapping behavior of the text. This property is set to "false" by default, i.e., the text is not wrapped. You can set the property to "true" or "false".

Data

Connected Tool:

Connect to a tool from your MERLIC Vision App by selecting the desired tool from the drop-down menu. You can only select tools that are used in your MERLIC Vision App. At the property "Connected Parameter" you may then select the parameter whose value you want to display in the widget.

Connected Parameter:

Select the tool parameter or result of the connected tool whose value you want to display from the drop-down menu. The list shows only the tool parameters and results of the tool that is selected in the property "Connected Tool". Therefore, you have to make sure that the widget is connected to a tool before selecting a parameter.
