Add formatted text included in bubbles

As the following image shows, formatted text can have various appearances. The text's formatting information is coded together with the actual text. Comparable to adding simple text, formatted text is associated with afore selected image regions. However, formatted text included in bubbles can be arbitrarily positioned within the image. When viewing the coded image, the text appears at those specified positions.

The following steps are necessary to code formatted text:

• Selection of an image region, with which the text is associated and into which the textual data will be encoded (left image below).
• Thereupon, the button for inserting text needs to be pressed (right image below).

• A dialog appears in which the type of the text can be selected (left image below).
• Upon selecting a text type (except Simple unformatted text) and pressing the OK button, a prototype of the selected text type is included in the image (right image below). This prototype can be arbitrarily moved within the image.

• To modify the text and its properties, the background of the text needs to be selected by pressing the right mouse button. A menu appears from which Change properties must be chosen. The left image below shows the dialog with which font, size, alignment, colors, etc. can be modified. The shape of the text's bubble can be modified with the small rectangular buttons (right image below).
• Upon positioning and formatting the text, the coded image can be generated and stored using the button highlighted in the right image below. It is also possible to assign several such texts to the same region.
