Text Input

Overview

Supplies one string as a constant. Use it for text sent to pixel-text rendering (text_rasterize) or as input to a node that accepts strings such as filenames and labels.

Usage tips

• The go-to destinations are text_rasterize / text_layout (draw pixel text). Keeping the text in this separate node makes replacement and variant creation easier.
• It also centralizes a string used in several places.

Related nodes

• text_rasterize / text_layout — draw the string
• text_outline — outlined text
• float_input / int_input — numeric constant nodes

Technical details

• A constant / controller node of type Text
• Connects directly to the text input of Text Rasterize
