2 General Text Features
Many applications will require some form of typed input from the user. Some will provide text formatting, word processing, or WYSIWYG desktop publishing features, and nearly all will have some text-based information displayed on the screen. Each of these features can be provided easily with either GenText or VisText objects. To use either of these objects, you should make sure to include the text library in your geode.
The VisText and GenText classes have many features in common. Under the hood, both the VisText and GenText objects contain similar instance data, and both are capable of handling messages from the text object library. Which object you use depends on what role you need your text object to assume.
