Text Colour

The text colour can be one of the following:

Transparent
  No colour. A transparent
  is not painted on the canvas, but it does have a
  . When exporting to a LaTeX document, transparent text areas have their text set in the argument of `\phantom`.

Colour
  A single colour. This can be specified as RGB (red green blue), CMYK (cyan magenta yellow black), HSB (hue saturation brightness) or grey scale. The alpha value changes the opacity (maximum value is solid, zero is completely transparent, and a value in between produces a semi-transparent effect.

Gradient
  A two-tone gradient is used for the outline. This requires a start colourand an end colour. The shading may be linear or radial: if linear, you need to specify a direction using one of the direction buttons; if radial, you need to specify the starting location using one of the buttons provided.

  If you intend to save your picture as a `pgfpicture` environment, there is no implementation of gradient colour for text. If you have a
  with a gradient text colour, then when you save it to a LaTeX file, the starting colour will be applied as a single colour. If you want gradient coloured text in your `pgfpicture` environment, you can achieve an approximate effect by doing the following:

  1. Convert the text area to a path
  2. Ungroup the object
  3. Merge the paths into a single path

Note that the colours you see on the screen may not exactly match colours produced by your printer due to the non-invertible mapping between colour spaces. The colours are specified as integer values between 0 and 100, or between 0 and 359 in the case of hue. You can type in the number in the appropriate box, or use the slider bars, or you can click on one of the predefined colour buttons.
