92 Graphics and Layers
FXDeko User’s Guide
Word wrap
Automatically wraps words to the next row, as necessary, to keep
text within the text field box.
Keyhole
Cuts through all elements behind a layer to show keyed video on
the layer. You can perform motions on the keyhole layer. This
differs from a keyhole shader in that it is applied to the whole layer,
whereas a keyhole shader is applied only to a detail and cannot be
animated.
Auto-scaling
• None
No automatic text scaling.
• Scale to fit box
Scales text up or down to exactly fit the layer.
• Shrink to fit box
Scales text down, if necessary, to fit within the layer.
Text initialization
Determines how the layer is initialized when its graphic is opened.
String
A text string to display in the field, or a record number, or the name
of a macro file, or the query string created by the Database window.
See Usage below.
Usage
Specifies whether FXDeko use text, a macro (which must return a
string), or data in an .aut file, or requests data from an automation
host to initialize the field.
Update freq
Specifies how often, in seconds, to run a macro or request data
from an automation host.
