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 corresponding input configuration for "changing the language".

There are static texts that are managed in “GlobalTextList” (generated automatically) and dynamic texts from created text lists. A dynamic text can be changed at runtime with a variable that defines the index of the text list entry. Static texts are fixed labels within a visualization; dynamic texts are often used for displaying variable values or error messages.

For creating and using text lists, see: .

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

For Unicode strings to be displayed, you have to enable the “Use Unicode strings” setting on the “Settings” tab of the “Visualization Manager”.
