Text Formatting

TICKET 2000 has many advanced text formatting features

Manual font stretch and shrink

If you can't find a font size to suit and you stretch any font to make it wider and taller to fit perfectly the space you want.

Drag the font corners or set the width and height scaling manually.

Auto font stretch and shrink

Since the text content of a field is often not known until the label is printed, eg it comes from a database, time or prompt; TICKET can automatically stretch or shrink text fields to keep them the desired size even if the length of the text increases or decreases.

The stretch limits can be set so the font doesn't look too stretched if you don't want it to be.

Relationships

If a text or barcode object grows or shrinks, TICKET can move other objects on the label to provide a consistent layout.

Relationships is a feature of TICKET that lets you draw a line from one object to another. TICKET will then maintain this distance between the two objects during print time.

Relationships can be used to move objects into position if other objects on the label are hidden. For example: your label might have a list of ingredients, but for some product the list is not printed and you want a paragraph of text to be printed instead in the same location. Relationships will let you do this.

Rotation

All objects can be rotated through 360 degrees to provide additional formatting options.

Formatting functions

A complete range of text formatting commands are available to use on any text source. You can pad extra characters, reverse text, substitute characters, chop-off letters, add bits, and much more.
