Changing the Text Color

To change the text color:

1.   In the Text node properties, click the Color tab.
2.   Adjust the color parameter or click on the color picker button to select a color for the text.
3.   If you want to create a color gradient across the text, select anything other than none from the ramp:

linear - the ramp changes linearly from one color into another.

smooth0 - the ramp color gradually eases into the point 0 end. This means colors in the point 0 end are spread wider than colors in the point 1 end.

smooth1 - the ramp color eases into the point 1 end. This means colors in the point 1 end are spread wider than colors in the point 0 end.

smooth - the ramp color gradually eases into both ends. This means colors in the point 0 and point 1 ends are spread wider than colors in the center of the ramp.

Linear ramp. smooth ramp.
smooth0 ramp. smooth1 ramp.
4.   Use the color control to select a color for the ramp at the point 1 end (by default, the top end). Then, use color 0 to select the color for the ramp at the point 0 end (by default, the bottom end).
5.   To adjust the spread and angle of the ramp, drag the p0 and p1 Viewer handles to a new location. You may need to press O twice on the Viewer to make these controls appear.

Alternatively, you can enter new x and y values for the point 1 and point 0 controls in the Text node properties.
