Introduction

Texts and tooltip texts for visualizations are managed in text lists and can be displayed in different languages. To toggle a visualization between the available languages, configure a visualization element with the input configuration for "changing the language".

Static texts are automatically managed in the“GlobalTextList” object. Dynamic texts are managemd in explicitly created text lists.

A dynamic text can be modified at runtime by means of a variable which indexes a text list entry. Dynamic texts are often used for the output of variable values or error messages.

Static texts are fixed strings which are used for labels, for example.

You can modify the appearance and formatting of texts and tooltips with the element properties “Text properties” and “Font variables”.

For Unicode characters to be displayed, the “Use Unicode strings” option must be enabled on the “Settings” tab in the “Visualization Manager” object.
