Add Text to a graph box

thickey

I can add formatted text at a specific coordinate using the code below at the time of making the Graph box.

 

New Window( "Example",
	Graph Box(
		Text Size( 20 );
		Text( {50, 20}, "label" );
	)
);

 

However, I can't seem to figure out how to add text later, after the Graph Box has been created. For example I am actually trying to add multiple formatted text items to the graph box in a for loop.

 

I tried by identifying the 'inner frame box' for the 'graph box' and adding the text to it, but the frame box does not recognize the 'Text' message.  Ultimately, I want to be able to add multiple formatted text items at specific coordinates.

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example", a = Graph Box() );
frame = a[FrameBox( 1 )];
frame << Text Color( "red" );
frame << Text( Center Justified, {50, 20}, "centered" );

 

How do I achieve this?

 

Cheers, Troy

Notice how the final Glue() statement in the Graph Box() function is a script as shown in the help index (see below).  To add a script to a graph box after-the-fact, use the <<Add Graphics Script method, as below.  You can put a Glue() function here as I've done.

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example", a = Graph Box() );
frame = a[FrameBox( 1 )];
frame << Add Graphics Script( Text Color( "red" ); Text( Center Justified, {50, 20}, "centered" ) );
