add text at location in script

Post by Charles Dyer » Wed May 08, 2019 4:23 am

Linux / qcad-3.21.3.15-pro

I need to add simple text strings at locations in a script.

Is there a simple way to do this similar to addSpline or addLine?

Something like providing text and coordinates as arguments. Possibly other parameters like orientation and size.

Where does one find a listing of functions or methods?

Thanks and cheers,

- charles

As part of the QCAD Simple API, there's addSimpleText.
