Owlbear Rodeo features a rich text editor that allows you to write directly on the infinite canvas.

Text Editor

When using the Text tool you can click anywhere in a scene to create a new text item. Doing this you’ll be given a text editor which allows you to write text. Above the editor there is a menu that allows you to adjust the text style.

Below is a list of the options available in the text editor menu:

Menu Item	Icon	Description
Color	N/A	Adjusts the color of the text
Outline	N/A	Adjusts the outline color and size of the text
Font	N/A	Adjusts the font used for the text
Size	N/A	Adjusts the text size
Bold		Bolds the currently selected text
Italics		Italicises the current selected text
Bulleted List		Creates a new bulleted list
Numbered List		Creates a new numbered list
Heading One		Creates a large heading
Heading Two		Creates a smaller heading
Emoji		Opens an emoji picker
Done		Finishes the text editing

Once you have finished editing text you can click the Done button or use the Shift + Enter shortcut. This will exit the text editor and return you to the common item controls.

Here you can adjust things such as scale, rotation and more. If you wish to edit the text again you can click the Edit Text menu item, use the Shift + Enter shortcut or double click on the text.
