Label

Encoder screenshot

The Label is a simple yet very powerful Control. It not only helps you stay organized but is also very handy while debugging.

Properties

Type

The Label has three different operating types:

Mode Description
Label Displays non-editable text on the Stage. This mode is selected by default.
Input Displays an input field on Stage. The value of the input field can be changed in Show Mode
Link Displays a link on the Stage that opens the default web browser on click.

Nice to know

Visual grouping

By setting the vertical text alignment to "top" and giving the Label a background color it is perfect for visually grouping controls on the Stage.

Debugging

The more complex your UNIVERSE Project becomes the more difficult it becomes to sort out everything that is going on. No matter if you want to:

  • monitor the data that is coming in from a Device.
  • create dummy data for your evaluation logic.
  • see what the results are in the different stages of your Modifier chains.

In all these cases the label is a trusty friend that can display incoming data via a trigger and its input node or output data into your Modifiers.
