[Squeakland] Value as Text

[Alan Kay]

Hi --

There are two ways to do this. Texts have a setter for "numeric value".

[]


Even simpler (though a little more kludgy) is to get a "simple 
watcher" from the viewer that holds the property you wish to see, 
click to the "Updating String" (called "Readout String" in OLPC 
version), and use red menu to make the changes.

In "regular Etoys" a shift-click will get you this component, and you 
can use the red menu to change the font and size, etc.

In OLPC Etoys, use the red menu to "Unlock Readout String", then 
select it and use its red menu to change font and size.

Cheers,

Alan
