Label

1. Click the Processing tab to access the Processing Workspace.
2. Below the processing palette area (to the left of the workspace) is an icon and text for adding labels to the processing workspace. You have two options for adding the label to the workspace.
   • Click and drag the label into your Processing Workspace. (Holding the label at the edges of the workspace auto-scrolls to other areas). Once the hashed drop target is in position release the mouse button to add the label to the workspace.
   • Double-click on the workspace label icon or text to add the label to the right of the currently selected block(s) in the workspace. If nothing is selected the label is positioned in the middle of the visible portion of the workspace.
3. Once the label is on the workspace its size can be adjusted by hovering and dragging from any edge or corner of the label block.

• Open the Label block's properties by double-clicking the block or hovering and clicking the properties icon that appears in the block's upper right corner. The properties dialog box contains properties to set the text and its appearance. From this dialog box, you can do the following:
• Set the text to be shown in the label.
• Set the horizontal alignment of the text to: left, center, or right aligned.
• Set the vertical alignment of the text to: top, center, or bottom aligned.
• Set the text to be bold, italic, or underlined.
• Set the display size of the text.
• Set the background, border, and text colors.
