Positions a text area on a RemoteSign screen.
This command allows static text to be placed at specific places on a RemoteSign screen.
Syntax
{TEXT}index ␑ text ␑ row ␑ column ␑ width ␑ align ␑ texcolor ␑ textbackgroundcolor ␑ size
- index is the index of the text area. It allows the same text to be updated or deleted later. Valid range 1 through 400 (Limit was 255 before v3.)
- text is the text to be displayed. If empty, the text area is not displayed. Use this to remove a text area.
- row is the row in which the text should appear
- column is the column number of the leftmost edge of the text area
- width is the width (in columns) of the text area
- align indicates the alignment of the text:
L = Left aligned (default)
C = Centered
R = Right - textcolor is an additive decimal RGB color value number that defines the color of the text, if it is a header line. For example 255 is red.
- textbackgroundcolor is an additive decimal RGB color value number that defines the background color of the text, if it is a header line.
- size Percentage of the height of a display row. A value from 1 to 200. (OLED displays support 50%, 100% 150% and 200%) A value of 101 will cause RemoteSign windows to display the text as bold.
The column values are those that match split-flap text columns.
If more than one is placed in the same area the last one set will display.
Placing a Text area in a row forces that row to be a header line but it can be overlaid by an animated row.

The index value is ignored to avoid the overhead of maintaining a lot of data in memory. Therefore to clear a {TEXT} area, send all the parameters again, but with empty text.
