	significant_digits	Number of significant digits to display, forcing the system to perform roundingWith significant_digits set to 2, "45678" will be displayed as 46000, and "0.654" will be displayed as 0.65. Set this parameter to 0 to disable rounding	0
Inherited from param_controls
	fine_ratio	Ratio between the fine tuning positions count and the positions_count attributeThe larger this value, the more precise the control is when the 'SHIFT' key is pushed	10
	reset_modifier_key	Modifier key for resetting the parameter value to default with a mouse clickPlease note that changing this value should be done carefuly to ensure consistency	'alt'
	reverse_mouse_wheel	Reverses the behavior of the mouse wheel (decrements instead of incrementing)Sometimes it is more intuitive to decrement a parameter with the mouse wheel (in param menus for example)	false

	min_height	number of pixels		minimum height allowed for the cell	When set, the layout engine will ensure that the width of the cell is not smaller than min_height pixels
	max_height	number of pixels		maximum height allowed for the cell	When set, the layout engine will ensure that the width of the cell is not larger than max_height pixels
	margin	number of pixels	0	margin of the cell	May be overridden by the h_margin or v_margin attributes
	h_margin	number of pixels	0	Horizontal margin of the cell
	v_margin	number of pixels	0	Vertical margin of the cell
	spacing	number of pixels	0	Space between children cells
	spacing_flex	real number	0	Flex value to allocate extra space between children cells	See the flex attribute for more details
	internal_v_align	vertical alignment	center	Vertical alignment of children cells group inside the cell	This attribute is useful only if the cell has a fixed size, and the sum of the sizes of the layouted children cells is different from the cell size. In this case you may want to choose how you align the children cells group inside the parent cell. Used only for 'column' type cell, the horizontal alignment being set individually for each child cell
	internal_h_align	horizontal alignment	center	Horizontal alignment of children cells group inside the cell	This attribute is useful only if the cell has a fixed size, and the sum of the sizes of the layouted children cells is different from the cell size. In this case you may want to choose how you align the children cells group inside the parent cell. Used only for 'row' type cell, the vertical alignment being set individually for each child cell
	reflow	boolean	false	when set to true, the layout engine will treat chidren cell as reflowable elements. For a fixed height column, the width is computed accordingly, and for a fixed width row, the height is computed accordingly	valid only for columns with fixed height or rows with fixed width
	flip	boolean	false	display children cells in reverse order (right to left or bottom to top)	currently valid only for COLUMN and ROW elements
Inheritable properties: these text properties are inherited by children cells (and can be overridden)
	font_face	string	empty	Name of the font for text contained in the cell and sub cells ("Arial")	Fonts are not the same on all systems, so you should carefuly select the fonts or ensure that users have specific fonts installed
	font_size	number of pixels or percentage (1.2.2), with or without +/- sign (1.2.2)	System default value	Size of the font for any text contained in the cell ("12" or "+2" or "120%")	If the value starts with + or -, the resulting font size is incremented by this value from the current font size. If the value ends with a %, the resulting font size is the corresponding proportion of the current font size. This value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden
	font_weight	'bold' or 'normal'	System default value	("bold" or "normal") Weight of the font for any text contained in the cell	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden
	font_style	'italic' or 'normal'	System default value	("italic" or "normal") Style of the font for any text contained in the cell	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden
	font_quality	'default' or 'no_anti_alias' or 'anti_alias' or 'cleartype'	System default value	Quality of the font ("default" or "no_anti_alias" or "anti_alias" or "cleartype")	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden
	font_escapement	real number	0	Escapement - angle in degrees to rotate text ("90")	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden. If the escapement of the font is non null, the formating options of the text widgets won't apply
	text_decoration		System default value	("underline" or "none") Decoration of the text for any text contained in the cell	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden. * Note by editor: works sometimes, not very stable
	text_color	color	System default value	Color of any text contained in the cell ("#FF0000")	The value is inherited by children cells but can be overridden
Common attributes
	id	identifier	empty	Identifier of the element	The id of an element has to be globally unique. Don't start with a digit for AngelScript compatibility.

Examples

The graphical properties of this widget are almost the same as the PARAM_TEXT widget except that you can also specify different colors depending on mouse movements, so you can also refer to the PARAM_TEXT section for examples.

Here's an example of showing various text_color options as well as few other attributes.
