The Text Objects: 2.2 General Text Features: Text Flow Through Regions

2.1 Input Management and Filters | Next:

The text library also allows a continuous stream of text to flow through various connected regions. These regions may be of arbitrary size, shape, and location, and each region occupies one spot in the text object's region list. The text library, once the region list is created, takes care of all text flowing and rippling from one region to the next. GenText objects may not implement regions, though; ideally their geometry should be left up to the specific UI.

Applications can easily set up regions using the graphics system's path code, then add the regions to the text object's region list. These two simple steps can result in powerful publishing features such as flowing text around graphics and flowing text through arbitrarily-shaped regions.
