Contour or Rotated Text (referred to as annotations):
Any graphic may have associated Annotation text.  This text can remain hidden from the drawing to serve as note, or a URL link.  If shown on the drawing it is attached to the graphics Bezier curve.  The text can be rotated,  typeset on the contour of the curve, anchored to some point on the curve, mirrored, or flipped.  Graphics may also have inserted normal text.

Easy to edit and modify (use the annotation palette):
A separate text view is provided for editing the text.  Editing is live and interactive. Changes appear on the drawing as they are made, this means you see changes as you type - no need to "right" the text  try a change then see how it is typeset.  Cut, copy, paste all work as expected.  All fonts on your system are available for the contoured text.  Spell check works seamlessly with annotations.

Shadows may be applied to Text and Contoured Text:
Full drop shadow support is available for both normal text and contoured text.  Chose color, transparency, drop and angle with parameter controls on the Shadow palette.  Apply an affine transform for distortion effects - live interactive control of all affine matrix coefficients.
