    Overview Text

    As the name suggests, the SCvation text visualization is used to visualize texts.
    This visualization gives the user several options for use. On the one hand the text can be added by an attribute, on the other hand the text can be entered and edited in three different formats by the customer himself and last but not least these two options can also be used in combination with each other. A powerful menu is available to the user to adapt the entered or added texts.
