The Text String setting enters text for
the object. When <aa> appears, auto-annotation
will be embedded there.
Select the Embed Auto Annotation check box to insert auto-annotation into the text string.
Note: In GPU Accelerated Animations, text objects are not updated, including those with embedded auto-annotation.
The Type setting has the following options:
| Option | Description |

Expression is available only if the Expression option is selected. The Expression setting specifies an expression to enter into the text string.

Format is available if either the File Date or File Time options are
selected. The Format setting selects a time format
to enter into the text string.
You can allow CFD-Post to define an appropriate format for the display of floating point numbers in certain annotations (Crank Angle, Expression, and Time Value) or choose the format yourself:
If you select Determine the number formatting automatically, CFD-Post will change the formatting to the one that best suits the data being plotted.
If you clear Determine the number formatting automatically, you can choose between scientific notation and fixed notation, and set the amount of precision.
