The tag text primitives are used to display or edit an expression in textual form. Primarily,
they are used to display tags, in which case the default format is taken from the Format tab
associated with that tag in the Data Tags window. If a non-tag expression is entered—or if
you want the formatting to differ from the default values for a tag—the format data can be
overridden as required. There is one type of tag text for each tag family…
The Flag Text primitive is used to display a true or false condition.
The Integer Text primitive is used to display an integer expression.
The Real Text primitive is used to display a floating-point expression.
The Multi Text primitive is used to display a multi-state condition.
The String Text primitive is used to display a string expression.
The properties of a tag text primitive are displayed using three tabbed pages.
