It allows for multiple fonts, sizes, colors, borders, character separation and line separation. The text can be displayed as bit maps, anti-aliased lines, or filled polygon characters. Any TrueType font can be rendered by the Text . Unicode is supported.\tThe new Scalable Display Method uses Slug Library to render scalable, resolution independent text at the highest qulaity available in the Text .\t\nIt can display simple text strings with embedded numeric values. It can also format lines of text and numbers in decimal or floating point format, reading the numbers from a , using special formatting characters.\t\nIt can also render text strings from a Table DAT via the Specification  parameter, where column headings are the parameter names that are to ve overidden when rendering a line of text for reach row of the table.\nAny TrueType or OpenType font that has been loaded into Windows can be rendered by the Text . To import a new font into your Windows system, open the Fonts folder in the , then drag and drop your  font files in (.ttf/.otf file format). Fonts can also be specified as .ttf/.otf file paths in the Font File parameter.\t\t\t\t\nYou can render  text by reading the text as a python string. See Unicode.\nTip: You can use the textTOP_Class.textWidth member to calculate the width of the text in the Text .\nSee also: Field COMP, Text SOP, Unicode.\t\t\t\t\n\ntextTOP_Class\n\nContents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  field - Specifies a Field Component to use as the source of the text. The font and style of the text displayed in the Field  are set using the parameters in the Text .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  dat - Specifies a  to use for the source of the text. Drag and Drop a  onto this field, or manually enter the 's path.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  rowindex - The row number (starting from 0) of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  colindex - The column number of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  specdat - A  that allows you to specify and position text by pixel, with the lower left corner being at 0, 0.  Column headers must include position1 or x, position2 or y, and text.  A sample table can be:\t\t\nx\ty\ttext\t\t\n0\t0\tlower left text\t\t\n100\t100\tsomewhere in the middle\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  text - A string of text. It optionally can be followed by a numeric value and another post-string, as set with  and  below. If newlines or tabs are desired, the recommended way is to change this parameter to expression mode, and specify a Python string that includes \\n or \\t to signify newlines and tabs. E.g 'First Line\\nSecond Line'.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  legacyparsing - In older builds the syntax \\XXX (E.g \\200 would be character 200), \\t, \\n as well as [] and {} (to position strings) was parsed in the string. This is now deprecated. For specifying characters codes, \\t and \\n Python syntax should be used instead.. The 'Specification ' should be used to position strings instead of [], {}. This parameter can be enabled to turn back on this legacy parsing though. If this is enabled and you want to display the characters \\ [ ] { }, you must precede them with a \\.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  appendvalue - Enables the  field defined below. This value is inserted between the  string and the  string.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  valuetouse - The numeric value to display.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  totaldigits - The total number of digits in the value displayed.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  decimaldigits - The number of digits displayed after the decimal place.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  posttext - The text string appended after Text and Value (if present).\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  chopvaluereplace - Allows portions of the strings to be replaced by  values via a syntax similar to C-style printf()/sprintf(). More details of the syntax are provided in the next parameter, '' .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  chop - The  containing all the values to insert in the  strings. The Text  will repeat the Text string until all  channels are displayed. They are displayed by using a special syntax in your  string, defined as string starting with %, for example %4d:\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n %[flags][width][.precision][type]\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\nflags (optional) - Alignment options.\n- : left align (text is right aligned by default)\n0 : pad the left side with zeros\nwidth (optional) - Total number of digits in the number displayed.\nprecision (optional) - Number of digits after the decimal place.\ntype - Number format.\nd : integer\nf : float\ng : double, exponential format is used only when the exponent of the value is less than ?4.Drag and Drop a  onto this field, or manually enter the 's path.\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n  wordwrap - When checked text is automatically line wrapped so it doesn't extend outside the 's borders.  When using Word Wrap and Auto-Size together, the text will first word-wrap based on the specified font size, then auto size the resulting block of text.\n\n\n\t\n  smartquote - Enables smart quotes which use a left (opening) quotation mark and a right (closing) quotation mark instead of straight quotes.\n\n\n\n\n\n  font - Select the font for the text from this drop down menu. All fonts are provided by Windows, any TrueType font that is loaded into Windows can be used.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  fontfile - Specify any TrueType font file (.ttf file) to use for the text.

Font Size specified in Font Size X and Font Size Y parameters. alwaysfit - The font size will be increased or decreased so the text fits across the Text  from edge to edge. fitiffat - Only auto sizes the text if the text is too large and spills past the edges of the Text . In this case the font size will be decreased to fit it within the borders of the .\n\t\t\t\n  fontsizex - Sets the font size in X (horizontal). Note: Floating point font sizes are permissable when using  and Outline .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  fontsizexunit - Select the units for this parameter from Pixels, Fraction, Fraction Aspect or Points (font point size).\tA  is defined using the Windows conventions for 100% scaling, which is 96 pixels to 72 points. That is, a point size of 10 is the same as a pixel size of 10*(96/72) = 13.333.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  fontsizey - Sets the font size in Y (vertical). Note: Floating point font sizes are permissable when using  and Outline .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  fontsizeyunit - Select the units for this parameter from Pixels, Fraction, Fraction Aspect or Points (font point size).\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  keepfontratio - Ignores Y value in Font Size.

The drop down menu on the right provides some commonly used resolutions.\n\n resolutionw - resolutionh -\n\n  resmenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used resolutions.\n\n\n\n  resmult - Uses the Global  Multiplier found in Edit>Preferences>TOPs. This multiplies all the TOPs resolutions by the set amount. This is handy when working on computers with different hardware specifications. If a project is designed on a desktop workstation with lots of graphics memory, a user on a laptop with only 64MB VRAM can set the Global  Multiplier to a value of half or quarter so it runs at an acceptable speed. By checking this checkbox on, this  is affected by the global multiplier.\n\n\n\n  outputaspect -  - Sets the image aspect ratio allowing any textures to be viewed in any size. Watch for unexpected results when compositing TOPs with different aspect ratios. (You can define images with non-square pixels using xres, yres, aspectx, aspecty where xres/yres != aspectx/aspecty.)\n\n useinput - Uses the input's aspect ratio. resolution - Uses the aspect of the image's defined resolution (ie 512x256 would be 2:1), whereby each pixel is square. custom - Lets you explicitly define a custom aspect ratio in the Aspect parameter below.\n\n  aspect -  - Use when Output Aspect parameter is set to Custom Aspect.\n\n aspect1 - aspect2 -\n\n  armenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used aspect ratios.\n\n\n\n  inputfiltertype -  - This controls pixel filtering on the input image of the .\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. This is how you get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  fillmode -  - Determine how the  image is displayed in the viewer.\nNOTE:To get an understanding of how TOPs work with images, you will want to set this to Native  as you lay down TOPs when starting out. This will let you see what is actually happening without any automatic viewer resizing.\n\n\n useinput - Uses the same Fill Viewer settings as it's input. fill - Stretches the image to fit the edges of the viewer. width - Stretches image to fit viewer horizontally. height - Stretches image to fit viewer vertically. best - Stretches or squashes image so no part of image is cropped. outside - Stretches or squashes image so image fills viewer while constraining it's proportions. This often leads to part of image getting cropped by viewer. nativeres - Displays the native resolution of the image in the viewer.\n\n  filtertype -  - This controls pixel filtering in the viewers.\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. Use this to get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail. When the input is 32-bit float format, only nearest filtering will be used (regardless of what is selected).\n\n  npasses - Duplicates the operation of the  the specified number of times. For every pass after the first it takes the result of the previous pass and replaces the node's first input with the result of the previous pass. One exception to this is the GLSL TOP when using compute shaders, where the input will continue to be the connected 's image.\n\n\n\n  chanmask - Allows you to choose which channels (R, G, B, or A) the  will operate on. All channels are selected by default.\n\n\n\n  format -  - Format used to store data for each channel in the image (ie. R, G, B, and A). Refer to Pixel Formats for more information.\n\n useinput - Uses the input's pixel format. rgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel. srgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel and stores color in sRGB colorspace. Note that this does not apply an sRGB curve to the pixel values, it only stores them using an sRGB curve. This means more data is used for the darker values and less for the brighter values. When the values are read downstream they will be converted back to linear. For more information refer to sRGB. rgba16float - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits per pixel. rgba32float - Uses 32-bits per color channel, 128-bits per pixels. rgb10a2fixed - Uses 10-bits per color channel and 2-bits for alpha, 32-bits total per pixel. rgba16fixed - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits total per pixel. rgba11float - A RGB floating point format that has 11 bits for the Red and Green channels, and 10-bits for the Blue , 32-bits total per pixel (therefore the same memory usage as 8-bit RGBA). The Alpha channel in this format will always be 1. Values can go above one, but can't be negative. ie. the range is [0, infinite). rgb16float - rgb32float - mono8fixed - Single channel, where RGB will all have the same value, and Alpha will be 1.0. 8-bits per pixel. mono16fixed - Single channel, where RGB will all have the same value, and Alpha will be 1.0. 16-bits per pixel. mono16float - Single channel, where RGB will all have the same value, and Alpha will be 1.0. 16-bits per pixel. mono32float - Single channel, where RGB will all have the same value, and Alpha will be 1.0. 32-bits per pixel. rg8fixed - A 2 channel format, R and G have values, while B is 0 always and Alpha is 1.0. 8-bits per channel, 16-bits total per pixel. rg16fixed - A 2 channel format, R and G have values, while B is 0 always and Alpha is 1.0. 16-bits per channel, 32-bits total per pixel. rg16float - A 2 channel format, R and G have values, while B is 0 always and Alpha is 1.0. 16-bits per channel, 32-bits total per pixel. rg32float - A 2 channel format, R and G have values, while B is 0 always and Alpha is 1.0. 32-bits per channel, 64-bits total per pixel. a8fixed - An Alpha only format that has 8-bits per channel, 8-bits per pixel. a16fixed - An Alpha only format that has 16-bits per channel, 16-bits per pixel. a16float - An Alpha only format that has 16-bits per channel, 16-bits per pixel. a32float - An Alpha only format that has 32-bits per channel, 32-bits per pixel. monoalpha8fixed - A 2 channel format, one value for RGB and one value for Alpha. 8-bits per channel, 16-bits per pixel. monoalpha16fixed - A 2 channel format, one value for RGB and one value for Alpha. 16-bits per channel, 32-bits per pixel. monoalpha16float - A 2 channel format, one value for RGB and one value for Alpha. 16-bits per channel, 32-bits per pixel. monoalpha32float - A 2 channel format, one value for RGB and one value for Alpha. 32-bits per channel, 64-bits per pixel.\n\n\n\n - Control the Composite operation via the parameters on the Output Page of this operator.\n\nExtra Information for the Text  can be accessed via an Info CHOP.\n\n\n - - - - - - - -\n - Horizontal resolution of the  in pixels. - Vertical resolution of the  in pixels. - Horizontal aspect of the . - Vertical aspect of the . - Depth of 2D or 3D array if this  contains a 2D or 3D texture array. - Total amount of texture memory used by this .\n - Number of times the operator has cooked since the process started. - Duration of the last cook in milliseconds. - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the component timeline. - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the absolute time. - Time in milliseconds at which the operator started cooking in the frame it was cooked. - Time in milliseconds at which the operator finished cooking in the frame it was cooked. - 1 if operator was cooked this frame. - Number of warnings in this operator if any. - Number of errors in this operator if any.\nTouchDesigner Build: Latest\\n2022.241402021.100002018.28070before 2018.28070\nTOPs\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • \n\nAn Operator Family that creates, composites and modifies images, and reads/writes images and movies to/from files and the network.

It allows for multiple fonts, sizes, colors, borders, character separation and line separation. The text can be displayed as bit maps, anti-aliased lines, or filled polygon characters. Any TrueType font can be rendered by the Text . Unicode is supported.\tThe new Scalable Display Method uses Slug Library to render scalable, resolution independent text at the highest qulaity available in the Text .\t\nIt can display simple text strings with embedded numeric values. It can also format lines of text and numbers in decimal or floating point format, reading the numbers from a , using special formatting characters.\t\nIt can also render text strings from a Table DAT via the Specification  parameter, where column headings are the parameter names that are to ve overidden when rendering a line of text for reach row of the table.\nAny TrueType or OpenType font that has been loaded into Windows can be rendered by the Text . To import a new font into your Windows system, open the Fonts folder in the , then drag and drop your  font files in (.ttf/.otf file format). Fonts can also be specified as .ttf/.otf file paths in the Font File parameter.\t\t\t\t\nYou can render  text by reading the text as a python string. See Unicode.\nTip: You can use the textTOP_Class.textWidth member to calculate the width of the text in the Text .\nSee also: Field COMP, Text SOP, Unicode.\t\t\t\t\n\ntextTOP_Class\n\nContents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  field - Specifies a Field Component to use as the source of the text. The font and style of the text displayed in the Field  are set using the parameters in the Text .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  dat - Specifies a  to use for the source of the text. Drag and Drop a  onto this field, or manually enter the 's path.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  rowindex - The row number (starting from 0) of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  colindex - The column number of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  specdat - A  that allows you to specify and position text by pixel, with the lower left corner being at 0, 0.  Column headers must include position1 or x, position2 or y, and text.  A sample table can be:\t\t\nx\ty\ttext\t\t\n0\t0\tlower left text\t\t\n100\t100\tsomewhere in the middle\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  text - A string of text. It optionally can be followed by a numeric value and another post-string, as set with  and  below. If newlines or tabs are desired, the recommended way is to change this parameter to expression mode, and specify a Python string that includes \\n or \\t to signify newlines and tabs. E.g 'First Line\\nSecond Line'.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  legacyparsing - In older builds the syntax \\XXX (E.g \\200 would be character 200), \\t, \\n as well as [] and {} (to position strings) was parsed in the string. This is now deprecated. For specifying characters codes, \\t and \\n Python syntax should be used instead.. The 'Specification ' should be used to position strings instead of [], {}. This parameter can be enabled to turn back on this legacy parsing though. If this is enabled and you want to display the characters \\ [ ] { }, you must precede them with a \\.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  appendvalue - Enables the  field defined below. This value is inserted between the  string and the  string.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  valuetouse - The numeric value to display.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  totaldigits - The total number of digits in the value displayed.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  decimaldigits - The number of digits displayed after the decimal place.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  posttext - The text string appended after Text and Value (if present).\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  chopvaluereplace - Allows portions of the strings to be replaced by  values via a syntax similar to C-style printf()/sprintf(). More details of the syntax are provided in the next parameter, '' .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  chop - The  containing all the values to insert in the  strings. The Text  will repeat the Text string until all  channels are displayed. They are displayed by using a special syntax in your  string, defined as string starting with %, for example %4d:\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n %[flags][width][.precision][type]\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\nflags (optional) - Alignment options.\n- : left align (text is right aligned by default)\n0 : pad the left side with zeros\nwidth (optional) - Total number of digits in the number displayed.\nprecision (optional) - Number of digits after the decimal place.\ntype - Number format.\nd : integer\nf : float\ng : double, exponential format is used only when the exponent of the value is less than ?4.Drag and Drop a  onto this field, or manually enter the 's path.\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n  wordwrap - When checked text is automatically line wrapped so it doesn't extend outside the 's borders.  When using Word Wrap and Auto-Size together, the text will first word-wrap based on the specified font size, then auto size the resulting block of text.\n\n\n\t\n  smartquote - Enables smart quotes which use a left (opening) quotation mark and a right (closing) quotation mark instead of straight quotes.\n\n\n\n\n\n  font - Select the font for the text from this drop down menu. All fonts are provided by Windows, any TrueType font that is loaded into Windows can be used.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  fontfile - Specify any TrueType font file (.ttf file) to use for the text.

This multiplies all the TOPs resolutions by the set amount. This is handy when working on computers with different hardware specifications. If a project is designed on a desktop workstation with lots of graphics memory, a user on a laptop with only 64MB VRAM can set the Global  Multiplier to a value of half or quarter so it runs at an acceptable speed. By checking this checkbox on, this  is affected by the global multiplier.\n\n\n\n  outputaspect -  - Sets the image aspect ratio allowing any textures to be viewed in any size. Watch for unexpected results when compositing TOPs with different aspect ratios. (You can define images with non-square pixels using xres, yres, aspectx, aspecty where xres/yres != aspectx/aspecty.)\n\n useinput - Uses the input's aspect ratio. resolution - Uses the aspect of the image's defined resolution (ie 512x256 would be 2:1), whereby each pixel is square. custom - Lets you explicitly define a custom aspect ratio in the Aspect parameter below.\n\n  aspect -  - Use when Output Aspect parameter is set to Custom Aspect.\n\n aspect1 - aspect2 -\n\n  armenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used aspect ratios.\n\n\n\n  inputfiltertype -  - This controls pixel filtering on the input image of the .\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation.

This is how you get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  fillmode -  - Determine how the  image is displayed in the viewer.\nNOTE:To get an understanding of how TOPs work with images, you will want to set this to Native  as you lay down TOPs when starting out. This will let you see what is actually happening without any automatic viewer resizing.\n\n\n useinput - Uses the same Fill Viewer settings as it's input. fill - Stretches the image to fit the edges of the viewer. width - Stretches image to fit viewer horizontally. height - Stretches image to fit viewer vertically. best - Stretches or squashes image so no part of image is cropped. outside - Stretches or squashes image so image fills viewer while constraining it's proportions. This often leads to part of image getting cropped by viewer. nativeres - Displays the native resolution of the image in the viewer.\n\n  filtertype -  - This controls pixel filtering in the viewers.\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. Use this to get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail. When the input is 32-bit float format, only nearest filtering will be used (regardless of what is selected).\n\n  npasses - Duplicates the operation of the  the specified number of times. For every pass after the first it takes the result of the previous pass and replaces the node's first input with the result of the previous pass. One exception to this is the GLSL TOP when using compute shaders, where the input will continue to be the connected 's image.\n\n\n\n  chanmask - Allows you to choose which channels (R, G, B, or A) the  will operate on. All channels are selected by default.\n\n\n\n  format -  - Format used to store data for each channel in the image (ie. R, G, B, and A). Refer to Pixel Formats for more information.\n\n useinput - Uses the input's pixel format. rgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel. srgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel and stores color in sRGB colorspace. Note that this does not apply an sRGB curve to the pixel values, it only stores them using an sRGB curve. This means more data is used for the darker values and less for the brighter values. When the values are read downstream they will be converted back to linear. For more information refer to sRGB. rgba16float - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits per pixel. rgba32float - Uses 32-bits per color channel, 128-bits per pixels. rgb10a2fixed - Uses 10-bits per color channel and 2-bits for alpha, 32-bits total per pixel. rgba16fixed - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits total per pixel. rgba11float - A RGB floating point format that has 11 bits for the Red and Green channels, and 10-bits for the Blue , 32-bits total per pixel (therefore the same memory usage as 8-bit RGBA).

      "description": "The Text  displays text strings in an image. It allows for multiple fonts, sizes, colors, borders, character separation and line separation. The text can be displayed as bit maps, anti-aliased lines, or filled polygon characters. Any TrueType font can be rendered by the Text . Unicode is supported.\tThe new Scalable Display Method uses Slug Library to render scalable, resolution independent text at the highest qulaity available in the Text .\t\nIt can display simple text strings with embedded numeric values. It can also format lines of text and numbers in decimal or floating point format, reading the numbers from a , using special formatting characters.\t\nIt can also render text strings from a Table DAT via the Specification  parameter, where column headings are the parameter names that are to ve overidden when rendering a line of text for reach row of the table.\nAny TrueType or OpenType font that has been loaded into Windows can be rendered by the Text . To import a new font into your Windows system, open the Fonts folder in the , then drag and drop your  font files in (.ttf/.otf file format). Fonts can also be specified as .ttf/.otf file paths in the Font File parameter.\t\t\t\t\nYou can render  text by reading the text as a python string. See Unicode.\nTip: You can use the textTOP_Class.textWidth member to calculate the width of the text in the Text .\nSee also: Field COMP, Text SOP, Unicode.\t\t\t\t\n\ntextTOP_Class\n\nContents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  field - Specifies a Field Component to use as the source of the text. The font and style of the text displayed in the Field  are set using the parameters in the Text .\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  dat - Specifies a  to use for the source of the text. Drag and Drop a  onto this field, or manually enter the 's path.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  rowindex - The row number (starting from 0) of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  colindex - The column number of the cell, if the  is a table.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  specdat - A  that allows you to specify and position text by pixel, with the lower left corner being at 0, 0.  Column headers must include position1 or x, position2 or y, and text.  A sample table can be:\t\t\nx\ty\ttext\t\t\n0\t0\tlower left text\t\t\n100\t100\tsomewhere in the middle\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  text - A string of text. It optionally can be followed by a numeric value and another post-string, as set with  and  below. If newlines or tabs are desired, the recommended way is to change this parameter to expression mode, and specify a Python string that includes \\n or \\t to signify newlines and tabs. E.g 'First Line\\nSecond Line'.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  legacyparsing - In older builds the syntax \\XXX (E.g \\200 would be character 200), \\t, \\n as well as [] and {} (to position strings) was parsed in the string. This is now deprecated. For specifying characters codes, \\t and \\n Python syntax should be used instead.. The 'Specification ' should be used to position strings instead of [], {}. This parameter can be enabled to turn back on this legacy parsing though. If this is enabled and you want to display the characters \\ [ ] { }, you must precede them with a \\.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  appendvalue - Enables the  field defined below. This value is inserted between the  string and the  string.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  valuetouse - The numeric value to display.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  totaldigits - The total number of digits in the value displayed.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  decimaldigits - The number of digits displayed after the decimal place.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  posttext - The text string appended after Text and Value (if present).\n\n\n\t\t\t\n  chopvaluereplace - Allows portions of the strings to be replaced by  values via a syntax similar to C-style printf()/sprintf().

This multiplies all the TOPs resolutions by the set amount. This is handy when working on computers with different hardware specifications. If a project is designed on a desktop workstation with lots of graphics memory, a user on a laptop with only 64MB VRAM can set the Global  Multiplier to a value of half or quarter so it runs at an acceptable speed. By checking this checkbox on, this  is affected by the global multiplier.\n\n\n\n  outputaspect -  - Sets the image aspect ratio allowing any textures to be viewed in any size. Watch for unexpected results when compositing TOPs with different aspect ratios. (You can define images with non-square pixels using xres, yres, aspectx, aspecty where xres/yres != aspectx/aspecty.)\n\n useinput - Uses the input's aspect ratio. resolution - Uses the aspect of the image's defined resolution (ie 512x256 would be 2:1), whereby each pixel is square. custom - Lets you explicitly define a custom aspect ratio in the Aspect parameter below.\n\n  aspect -  - Use when Output Aspect parameter is set to Custom Aspect.\n\n aspect1 - aspect2 -\n\n  armenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used aspect ratios.\n\n\n\n  inputfiltertype -  - This controls pixel filtering on the input image of the .\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation.

This is how you get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  fillmode -  - Determine how the  image is displayed in the viewer.\nNOTE:To get an understanding of how TOPs work with images, you will want to set this to Native  as you lay down TOPs when starting out. This will let you see what is actually happening without any automatic viewer resizing.\n\n\n useinput - Uses the same Fill Viewer settings as it's input. fill - Stretches the image to fit the edges of the viewer. width - Stretches image to fit viewer horizontally. height - Stretches image to fit viewer vertically. best - Stretches or squashes image so no part of image is cropped. outside - Stretches or squashes image so image fills viewer while constraining it's proportions. This often leads to part of image getting cropped by viewer. nativeres - Displays the native resolution of the image in the viewer.\n\n  filtertype -  - This controls pixel filtering in the viewers.\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. Use this to get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail. When the input is 32-bit float format, only nearest filtering will be used (regardless of what is selected).\n\n  npasses - Duplicates the operation of the  the specified number of times. For every pass after the first it takes the result of the previous pass and replaces the node's first input with the result of the previous pass. One exception to this is the GLSL TOP when using compute shaders, where the input will continue to be the connected 's image.\n\n\n\n  chanmask - Allows you to choose which channels (R, G, B, or A) the  will operate on. All channels are selected by default.\n\n\n\n  format -  - Format used to store data for each channel in the image (ie. R, G, B, and A). Refer to Pixel Formats for more information.\n\n useinput - Uses the input's pixel format. rgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel. srgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel and stores color in sRGB colorspace. Note that this does not apply an sRGB curve to the pixel values, it only stores them using an sRGB curve. This means more data is used for the darker values and less for the brighter values. When the values are read downstream they will be converted back to linear. For more information refer to sRGB. rgba16float - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits per pixel. rgba32float - Uses 32-bits per color channel, 128-bits per pixels. rgb10a2fixed - Uses 10-bits per color channel and 2-bits for alpha, 32-bits total per pixel. rgba16fixed - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits total per pixel. rgba11float - A RGB floating point format that has 11 bits for the Red and Green channels, and 10-bits for the Blue , 32-bits total per pixel (therefore the same memory usage as 8-bit RGBA).

Panels are created using Panel Components.\n\n\n\nUnicode text is fully supported in TouchDesigner. Unicode can be typed into parameters, DATs, Python scripts etc. Unicode encoded text files can be loaded into DATs. File paths can include any unicode character that is legal for a file path.\n\n\n\nAn Operator Family that contains its own Network. There are sixteen 3D Object Component and ten 2D Panel Component types. See also Network Path.\n\n\n\nA form of DATs (Data Operators) that is structured as rows and columns of text strings.\n\n\n\nA polygon is a type of Primitive that is formed from a set of Vertices in 3D that are implicitly connected together to form a multi-edge shape.\n\n\n\nEach SOP has a list of Points. Each point has an XYZ 3D position value plus other optional attributes. Each polygon Primitive is defined by a vertex list, which is list of point numbers.\n\n\n\nThe width and height of an image in pixels. Most TOPs, like the Movie File In TOP can set the image resolution. See Aspect Ratio for the width/height ratio of an image, taking into account non-square pixels.\n\n\n\nThe viewer of a node can be (1) the interior of a node (the Node Viewer), (2) a floating window (RMB->View... on node), or (3) a Pane that graphically shows the results of an operator.\n\n\n\nA CHOP outputs one or more channels, where a channel is simply a sequence of numbers (Samples), representing motion, audio, etc. Channels are passed between CHOPs in TouchDesigner networks. Channels can be Exported to Parameters.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRetrieved from \"https://docs.derivative.ca/index.php?title=Text_TOP&oldid=27220\"",
