The Label element panel

LabeljoyNew version

The Label element panel is where you set up an element on a label. It opens when you click the element in the work area, and it shows one section at a time.

The Label element panel for the element Text: the path Label
set 1, Text, Text; the strip of icons down the left, with Text lit; and the Text section, with the text editor showing
Your text here and, under it, Settings.

The path at the top shows where you are: the document, the label set - click it to go to the Label set panel - the element's name, and the section. With several elements selected, it reads [Multiple elements], and what you change applies to all of them.

The strip on the left

Adding and taking away contents. Every section is always there - there's nothing to switch on. Fill a section in and the element has that content: type a text, choose a picture, give the grid or the line a size. To take a content away, use Reset all in its section's ⋮ menu, or the bin next to it in the Document panel. When you select an element, the panel opens on the section you used last for it, or on its first content.

The ⋮ menu at the right of each section's title copies that section, or part of it, and pastes it into another element:

In a section's menu
Copy all, and the other Copy itemsCopy the whole section, or a part of it - the text only, the settings, the pen, the padding and so on.
PasteDimmed until you've copied something that fits here. It then says what it pastes, such as Paste settings.
Reset allPuts the section back as a new element has it. For the Shape section it's called Reset to defaults.

On a document protected against editing the panel is empty: there's nothing you can change.
