Group specifies the group to which you want to add the overlay information. If no name is specified, the overlay information is added to the default group.

Font, Size & Style is a cluster that enables the user to choose the font, size, style, and alignment of the text. This cluster contains the following elements:

	Desired Font (Application) specifies the character type of the text. The following values are possible: User-specified Font (0) Specify the attributes of a font to use. If no font is specified, the default font is used. Application Font (1) (Default) Uses the LabVIEW application font, which is the font used on the Controls and Functions palettes and on text in new objects on the front panel or block diagram. System Font (2) Uses the LabVIEW system font, which is the font used in menus. Dialog Font (3) Uses the LabVIEW dialog font, which is the font used in dialog boxes.
	[User-specified Font] is a cluster containing the specific font characteristics for the text to draw. The specification is ignored unless Desired Font is set to User-specified Font. Note  The Outline?, Shadow?, and Rotation Angle characteristics are not currently supported on RT targets. Font Name is the font to use for the string. Size is the size of the font in points. Strikeout? causes the text to appear in strikeout if TRUE. Italic? causes the text to appear in italic if TRUE. Underline? causes the text to appear underlined if TRUE. Outline? causes the text to appear in outline if TRUE. Shadow? causes the text to appear in shadow if TRUE. Bold? causes the text to appear in bold if TRUE Rotation Angle is the orientation of the text in the image. NI Vision supports rotated text for TrueType fonts only.
	Horizontal Alignment specifies the horizontal alignment of the text. The following values are possible: Left (0) (Default) Left-aligns the text. Center (1) Center-aligns the text. Right (2) Right-aligns the text.
	Vertical Alignment specifies the vertical alignment of the text. The following values are possible: Bottom (0) (Default) Aligns the text along the bottom. Top (1) Aligns the text along the top. Baseline (2) Aligns the text along the baseline.

Image is a reference to the source image.

Origin is the location on the image to overlay the text. This parameter is dependent on the values of Horizontal Alignment and Vertical Alignment.

	X is the x-coordinate.
	Y is the y-coordinate.

String is the text to overlay.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
	code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Text Color (black) is the color of the text.

BG Color (Transparent) is the background color of the text overlay.

Image Out is a reference to the destination image. If Image Dst is connected, Image Dst Out is the same as Image Dst. Otherwise, Image Dst Out refers to the image referenced by Image Src.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
	code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
