title: Path.setText()
---
The `Path.setText()` method sets 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
This method is chainable as it returns the `Path` object
:::
## 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)
.setText('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.
