Text2D

Write titles, labels and scores right over your scene in any font, then outline, shadow, glow or bevel them as in Photoshop.

A Text2D draws its Text over the DataModel's picture, centred in its box at 0.72 of the box's height, in its Font, a FontContent (Segoe UI when there is none). Position, AnchorPoint, Size and Scale place it in pixels from the top-left; Color and Transparency tint and fade it; In and Out animations fade, slide, pop or wipe it. Layer styles under it, like Stroke and DropShadow, draw with it.
