The purpose of the text item is to make it easy for the user to add text to their diagrams. This item has the same properties as its base Node class. The only difference is that some of the default properties have been changed to make it easier to use this for text. This way you do not have to change these each time. For a description of the basic node properties please click here. To add a text to the node click on it, pause, and click again to begin editing the text inside.
