title: Path.setText()
|

|
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
The `Path.addText()` method set text on the path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Signature
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
Path path.setText(string text, string className)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second argument will optionally be used to set the CSS class for the text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Tip compact>This method is chainable as it returns the `Path` object</Tip>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<Example caption="Example of the Path.setText() method">
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
({ Point, points, Path, paths, part }) => {
|
||
|
|
points.from = new Point(5, 10)
|
||
|
|
points.to = new Point(95, 10)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
paths.line = new Path()
|
||
|
|
.move(points.from)
|
||
|
|
.line(points.to)
|
||
|
|
.addText('FreeSewing rocks')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return part
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
</Example>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main purpose of this method is to save your some typing,
|
||
|
|
as the two following calls yield the same result:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
path.attr('data-text', 'Hello')
|
||
|
|
path.setText('Hello')
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The difference with [Path.addText()](/reference/api/path/addtext) is that this
|
||
|
|
method will overwrite existing text on the path, whereas `Path.addText()` will
|
||
|
|
add to the existing text.
