Point.setText()

The Point.setText() method sets text on a Point. Under the hood, this will call Point.attr() as text is set via attributes. Refer to Adding text for more details.

Signature

Point point.setText(
  string text,
  string className
)

This method is chainable as it returns the Point object

Example

```js ({ Point, points, Path, paths, part }) => {

points.anchor = new Point(100, 25) .setText('FreeSewing') .setText('rocks')

// Avoid the text getting cropped paths.hidden = new Path() .move(points.anchor) .line(points.anchor.shift(0, 80)) .addClass('hidden')

return part }

</Example>
