Text Widget

The Text Widget is not a chart, per se, but a place for you to include descriptive text, code samples, and graphics to help your MapD charts communicate more effectively. The Text Widget is an implementation of the Quill rich text editor.

The Text Widget Toolbar

Use the toolbar to apply formatting to your content.

Font

There are three font choices: Serif, Sans Serif, and Monospace.

Style

There are four styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and Normal. You can apply a style to a paragraph before you type or apply a style to an existing paragraph.

Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough

Format selected text with Bold, Italic, Underline, or Strikethrough.

Text Color

Number List

Bullet List

Alignment

Link

Create a link by applying a URL to selected text. Note that you must include the http:// prefix in the URL.
